After Assault Accusations and Pro-Insurrection Texts, Does Bacon Still Refuse to Return Herbster Donations?

Charles Herbster’s $16,400 in campaign cash is apparently still good enough for Bacon

After numerous people came forward to confirm allegations of Charles Herbster’s pattern of sexual assault, Rep. Don Bacon refused to return the over $16,000 he’s taken from Herbster.

This week, reports confirmed that Charles Herbster was in contact with Mark Meadows on January 6th, texting him repeatedly to egg him on and offer his support with the ongoing attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Will Don Bacon return the tens of thousands of dollars in donations he has accepted from this accused assaulter and insurrection proponent?

DCCC Spokesperson Helen Kalla:
“Don Bacon was willing to look the other way to credible allegations of sexual assault against his donor, and these disturbing revelations of Herbster’s role in January 6th put even more pressure on Bacon. Bacon has clearly lost touch, and Nebraskans look forward to a change in November.”
