Speaking to NOTUS earlier this year, Bacon confirmed he was discussing with his family whether to seek reelection next year, promising a final decision by late summer.
“It is a family decision,” Bacon told the news outlet.
Recall that Don Bacon came out and called on President Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Rep. Bacon criticized Hegseth’s qualifications and repeated a since-refuted NYT report that claimed Hegseth used the private Signal app to discuss classified military operations in Yemen with his family.
“I had concerns from the get-go because Pete Hegseth didn’t have a lot of experience,” Bacon told Politico, conveniently ignoring Hegseth’s years of frontline military service, VA reform advocacy, and deep support from veterans and conservatives across the country.
“I like him on Fox. “If it’s true that he had another [Signal] chat with his family, about the missions against the Houthis, it’s totally unacceptable,” Bacon said.
Don Bacon also previously compared the America First movement, his voting base, to 1930’s Nazi Party.
The tweet is still posted on his Twitter-X page.
Bacon has no respect for his voters.
