Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that his Republican colleagues refusing to support Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House were like terrorists.
When anchor Jake Tapper asked about former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) saying ‘That he worked in counter-terrorism and you can’t negotiate with terrorists,’ Bacon “I feel that way.”
He continued, “We were talking about that today. Hostage takers at least have a goal, and they have demands. We met those demands, and still, they can’t get to yes. They refuse to get to yes. They’ve been offered everything but one demand that we’ve not gone to. So this is more like terrorism, and you’re right.”
He added, “Their constituents, at some point, are going to say this is baloney. We’ve had enough. You’re derailing the conservative agenda, and I think that’s hopefully going to have some impact over time.”
Bacon concluded, “We are already seeing the outcry of people say this is wrong what they are doing. I hear it in our district, I hear it on talk shows, I hear from conservative commentators. So I think over time, we can have some success here.”

Enough with the garbage rhetoric, now the sound like the Democrats, who sound like Stalins communists.
Is this guy a RINO? he sure slings terrosim comparisons like i little democrat bitch
This POS says this on CNN of course and l am sure he feels right at home there.
I thought cyclops 👁 was the one acting like a 6 year old
Someone should give him this book....
That's a huge problem right there: why is he paying any attention at all to commentators and idiots on talk shows?
“Political activity by our political opponents is so unseemly.”
How long before they shift from “terrorism” to “Russian interference?” I’m sure that’s next.
Did he miss people being angry over 18 Republicans voting for that 1.7 trillion dollar Omnibus spending bill?
The uniparty loves to wallow in the MSNBCNN mud.
Oh my..he heard it from pundits and heard comments on tv. So that’s how he’s making his decision on what to support or not support?? And I’d be good money that his constituents haven’t said much, if anything, to him about this. Most Americans are too busy living their lives and don’t follow politics except for what they see on tv.
How does he think he’s going to get anything done or passed with the narrow majority they have in the House to say nothing of the Senate and the WH..?? Not that they shouldn’t try to pass sound legislation but the American public should be prepared for more deadlock over the next couple of years.
When in reality it is Anti-terrorism.

So, there’s a demand out there that Swamp critters don’t want to deal with?
Bacon is squeeling.
Love it..
This is why we can’t have nice things. Democrats stick together. They don’t air their dirty laundry in public. Not so with Republicans.
Reagan’s so-called 11th commandment had it right:
“Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.”
Get rid of this bought and paid for Hack.
terrorism, hostages?
It won’t be long before they call some overly enthused patriotic trespassers “insurrectionists”.
Agree. Prinicples be damned! It all about spending money!!!
