Team,
Today’s Friday F*** Up is a deep cut.
For those real fans of beating Republicans and calling out their bullshit, I present Don Bacon, a Republican who faced an aggressive primary challenge earlier this week.
So, why was Don Bacon unendorsed by his own party and constantly under fire from a primary challenger? Well, Don Bacon will say anything to win a vote. Don’t just take it from us, last month he told the Daily Beast: “I just go with the voters.”
In fact, we remember when he tried to hide his anti-choice extremism, but then, facing a strong primary challenge, he reversed course and even ran an ad touting his record “defending the unborn by supporting pro-life policies.”
It’s wild that a man so Trump-esque couldn’t even get the endorsement of his own state party. They were so infuriated by his flip-flopping they endorsed his opponent.
There are a lot of people you need to be able to trust - your doctor, your partner, and ideally your elected officials.
Don Bacon is as untrustworthy as they come. But he's going up against a Democrat he beat last election, so it's our job to make sure the outcome is different this time around.
Here at American Bridge, it’s all hands on deck to flip the House blue and defeat dangerous Trump-Republicans like Don Bacon. Will you chip in today to fund our efforts and help us beat every idiot like Don Bacon in November?
Until next week,
Pat Dennis
