Rep. Don Bacon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress and representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, shared several posts on March 9, 2026, addressing issues of national security and political commentary.
In a post at 17:29 UTC, Bacon referenced his recent appearance on NewsNation, stating: “ICYMI: On @NewsNation I discussed the latest on Iran, the solemn meaning of a dignified transfer, and why preventing a nuclear Iran is critical to U.S. security.”
Shortly after, at 17:31 UTC, he commented on the importance of European alliances and expressed views on political polarization regarding former President Trump. He wrote: “This commentator says we don’t need European allies. The operations over the last two weeks clearly show otherwise. I find there are two types of TDS. Those who hate everything that Trump does & those who defend everything Trump does. This guy fits in the latter category.”
Later that day at 19:30 UTC, Bacon posted a link without additional commentary: “https://t.co/JxEzOK6RgL”
