OMAHA — Should the Omaha area replace Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon with a Democrat and help curb the worst impulses of the Trump administration?

You betcha, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said during the second stop of his national tour criticizing House Republicans for avoiding in-person town halls.

Walz, a Nebraska native, made Bacon a focus of his mid-morning Saturday speech at Metropolitan Community College’s Fort Omaha campus to more than 400 people.

He said he was “not here to personally attack the representative” or call him names. But he said Bacon needs to face his voters and their questions.

3. I have a warm feeling

Like seeing an old friend. I really enjoyed getting to know him over the summer and it's great to see him again! Thanks for posting.

4. For the 20 years I have known him, Tim has always put other people first.

Proud of him doing this when MAGAts will not.

The 4 CDs in Minnesota are next. The 1st, 6th, 7th, and 8th. The MAGAts there get their undies in a bunch over this, TOUGH SHIT!

Tim was my Congressman for 12 years. He knows the community in the 1st and served them well. Jim Hagedorn, and now Brad Finstad, have fucked it all up. Agriculture makes up a lot of the 1st CD, as well as the 7th CD and 8th CD.
