FLIP-FLOP: Don Bacon Folds Again, Votes in Favor of Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts

Bacon once again made news for pretending to buck his party only to turn around and vote in-line with extremist Washington Republicans

 

After days of chasing headlines to fuel his faux-moderate persona, Don Bacon again flip-flopped and voted to make Elon Musk’s extreme DOGE cuts permanent. 

Bacon previously claimed that cutting the anti-HIV program PEPFAR was a red line and he would vote against any attempt to defund “George Bush’s Legacy.”

Today, Bacon voted to do just that – abandoning any concerns he was pretending to have about preserving anti-HIV funding and support for national public broadcasting services like PBS and NPR.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Don Bacon is a fraud. How many times have we seen this same tired act from him? Pretending to have ‘concerns’ then turning around and providing the critical vote for Republican extremism doesn’t make Bacon a moderate – it makes him a liar.”
