You'd think a Republican with an awesome last name like Bacon wouldn't be such a toolbag ... unfortunately, in 2023, toolbags are the norm in those supposedly moderate officials who are proving there sadly is a uniparty in DC.
Don Bacon is one of the few holdouts left refusing to vote for Jim Jordan for Speaker.
He is, of course, making this about himself because that's all he really cares about.
I’m not budging. I’m a five-time commander and deployed to Middle-East four times. I’ll do what is best for country.

For a guy claiming he'll do what's best for country, he sure talks about himself a lot.
The folks yelling we need to put out the house fire, started the fire. This started when 4% of Republicans voted to remove Speaker McCarthy. Then, we had another group refuse to support Scalise after he won by our rules. We can’t have a process when a few break the rules.

Safe to say, the responses from the people he should care about (aka his constituents and Republicans) are not ... supportive. This has not been going over so hot for Bacon.
Only an imbecile lets the house burn down out of spite or to try to prove a point.

Jordan supported McCarthy. He is now the only viable option. https://t.co/1OcdVTpO0I
Seriously.
Enjoy your stay in Congress. It will be short. Primary coming! https://t.co/SuDuMpSjlr

Isn’t it amazing how @RepDonBacon believes “he’s the only one” who knows what’s good for this country &his constituents are complete idiots.

I’m embarrassed to say I worked tirelessly for the Republican Party, the 1st yr he ran for Congress, to get him elected. He’s been bought! https://t.co/PEUL8AfkyN
You’re not doing what is best for the country. https://t.co/TWrcbCUG7Y

Nope.
Not in the least.
Unless of course the country we're talking about is Ukraine ...
From POLITICO:
But Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a staunch Ukraine supporter and McCarthy ally, said he would only support a Ukraine package that ensures advanced weapons like the long-range Army Tactical Missile System make it to the battlefield.
Hrm.
BACON: “I’m not budging”

CALL 👉🏻 202-225-3121 https://t.co/G8qZQ4c0rF
Would you look at that? His public phone number.
Interesting.
We aren't budging either we. VOTE BACON OUT IN 2024 since he won't vote for Jordan. Being in Congress isn't about you, it's about the American people. https://t.co/W6ILwZ5R9e

Maybe he should ask Liz Cheney how things went after she ignored what her constituents wanted.
Ahem.
You were deployed to an Air Force base. You had less chance of encountering violence than you do while walking to your office in D.C. every day. And better Wi-Fi. Sell that somewhere else, Rambo. https://t.co/UPkdns9rKd
