Rep. Don Bacon, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, shared his thoughts on several issues through a series of tweets. Born in Momence, Illinois, and now residing in Papillion, Bacon is an experienced politician with academic credentials from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
On July 4, 2025, Rep. Don Bacon tweeted a comment referring to Karl Marx: “It’s right out of Karl Marx.”
The following day, July 5, 2025, he expressed condolences for a tragic event involving children: “Our hearts and prayers are with the families and friends of the 24 dead and 20 missing children. The flood hit a girls summer camp in the middle of the night. Devastating.”
Later that day, he addressed concerns about Tibet under Chinese governance: “Tibetans live in a harsh police state under Communist China’s rule. President Xi thinks he can choose the next Dali Lama.”
These statements reflect Bacon’s engagement with both domestic tragedies and international human rights issues.
