Rep. Don Bacon, who represents Nebraska’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, addressed several topics on his social media account on March 16, 2026, including support for Erika Kirk, a statement against anti-Semitism and racism within the GOP, and well wishes to Susie Wiles as she faces health challenges.
In one post published at 14:26 UTC, Bacon criticized hostility directed toward Erika Kirk following her nomination to the AFA Board by the President. He wrote, “The whacky hate towards Ms Erika Kirk is shameful. It starts with Candace Owens. The President nominated Ms Kirk to fill the vacant AFA Board position after her husband was assassinated. I will welcome her. The indecency shown her is despicable.”
Later that day at 16:33 UTC, Bacon emphasized a zero-tolerance policy for anti-Semitism and racism within his party: “The GOP wants ZERO anti-Semites and racists in the Party. Anti-Semitism is anti-Christian. There should be no tolerance for folks who are propagating hate.”
At 16:36 UTC, Bacon expressed personal support for Susie Wiles and reflected on his family’s experiences with cancer: “Angie and I are praying for Susie Wiles and her family and wish her strength and a full recovery. My mother survived breast cancer after many doctor visits and chemotherapy, but my sister Beth lost her battle at 39. We must continue investing in research so we can defeat this”.
Don Bacon has served as a member of Congress since 2017 after succeeding Brad Ashford in Nebraska’s 2nd district. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, Bacon currently resides in Papillion and holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
