A representative is an elected official who represents the interests of their constituents in a legislative body. However, it appears that Don Bacon (R-NE) has lost sight of the fact that he works for the people of Nebraska.
Rep. Bacon remained defiant Monday evening and lashed out at the Republican lawmakers who ousted another RINO, Kevin McCarthy.
“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.

“There will be more pressure. But we shouldn’t let 5-10 folks control the conference and that’s been the case since January. It’s not American,” said Bacon.
BACON, R-Neb., still sounding like a NO on Jordan today:

In another post, Bacon wrote, “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.”

Conservatives on social media criticized him for prioritizing his own “ego” over the needs and interests of Nebraskans.
He can’t help himself. His ego is bigger than he is…
The male Liz Cheney of our time.
Nebraska deserves better.

*jerking off motion*.
You’re in Congress, you dunce. Nobody gives a fuck about your resume.
Your constituents want one thing, and you’re overriding the will of the people with your douchebaggery.
Do your job, dumb shit.

When you were deployed did you do what you were asked by your boss? Because the people deployed you to Congress and they’re asking you to do something. This isn’t a solo mission.

Let’s be real…
This guy comes from a Biden didtrict. He has no problem making a deal w/ the Dems.
He’s putting himself first because if a deal is made with the Dems, he’s most likely to be speaker.
Ego above country. Male Liz Cheney.

Thank you for your past service.
Currently, you are a self serving pig.
Maybe your children and grandchildren want to live under socialism/communism, but mine do not.
Who’s greasing your palms to sell out our country?

I am outside the office of Don Bacon, one of the leaders of the Vote No on Jim Jordan movement. I want to ask Mr. Bacon if Adam Kinzinger is telling him how to vote on the Speakers race because Kinzinger gave Bacon a lot of money. Also, Bacon has an American-Ukrainian flag. pic.twitter.com/6XQx9mx6UZ

According to DC Draino, he served as an advisor to a nonprofit with ties to a CCP-linked think tank.
