Rep. Bacon says his wife slept with loaded gun after ‘ugly phone calls’ over his Speaker vote
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said Thursday his wife slept with a loaded gun after receiving more threatening phone calls from voters who were angry that he voted against Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) Speakership bid.
“She had terrible phone calls,” Bacon told reporters. “I didn’t sleep well last night. I called her, and I go, ‘How you doing?’ She goes, ‘I slept really good. I had wa loaded gun.’”
“So there were some, it was ugly phone calls,” he added.

I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!
"I can't believe that my wife is sleeping with a loaded gun. This never would have happen if the Democrats voted for Jim Jordan" - Don Bacon
Glad they’re getting a taste of their own medicine
I wonder how these reps would feel is they could hear the voicemails of some of their opponents. That is their base, they nurtured that relationship.
They dont care until it happens to them and even then it is somehow the democrats' fault
Is this different than any other night with Republicans?
If I was dumb enough to be married to a Republican politician, I would too!!
We all know their track record
This has to be a dog whistle to the NRA right?
Ugh how could she cheat on him with his biggest financial contributor, the NRA
Is "loaded gun" code for who she was sleeping with?
Wife cocks shotgun “Cuck cuck”
That's Bobert's nickname at parties. Always loaded, always cocked and ready for action.
If only I knew what I signed up for - People who are part of the LAMF party.
Do they usually leave the gun unloaded or something?
Yes?
“Dumbass.” /s
