Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, posted a series of statements on his social media account on September 2, 2025, addressing national security and international relations issues.
In a post made at 17:53 UTC, Bacon marked the anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and criticized President Biden’s handling of the event: “ICYMI: This weekend I joined @FoxNews to discuss redistricting and reflect on the 4-year anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal. President Biden’s decision to ignore our military leaders resulted in a botched withdrawal and the tragic loss of 13 American lives.”
Later that evening at 20:03 UTC, Bacon commented on drug interdiction efforts with a brief statement: “We like drug boats and drugs sitting at the bottom of ocean.”
At 20:10 UTC, he addressed geopolitical developments involving Russia and China, writing: “While Russia is trying to force Ukraine to be its vassal state, Russia is increasingly becoming economically dependent on China. Future pictures will have Putin carrying Xi’s bags.”
Don Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd District in Congress since succeeding Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, Bacon currently resides in Papillion and holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
