OMAHA- Just a day after U.S. Rep. Don Bacon joined 21 other House Republicans in opposing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for speaker, his district office in Omaha heard from two dozen local Republicans who said they want Bacon to fall in line. Bacon's vote also prompted several Nebraskans to protest outside of the district office, some wearing politically charged shirts, and others holding signs urging Bacon to cast his vote for Jordan.

Omaha resident Denise Bradshaw, a member of Moms for Liberty and one of the protestors, said she wants to see Jordan assume the speakership because he is "a good, strong conservative." Robert Anthony, a member of the Nebraska Freedom Coalition and another protestor, said he and many Nebraska Republicans are fed up with Bacon "drifting toward the middle." Anthony said a real conservative can, and should win in the state's 2nd Congressional District.

Anthony even went so far as to say that he'd vote for Bacon's opponent, Tony Vargas, if it came down to it. "Tony Vargas is a train wreck," he said, "He represents everything I'm opposed to. But I'm no longer going to stand behind a man that's not representing what I stand for, either." Bacon's opposition to Jordan stems from the idea that the Congressman doesn't want to reward the handful of House Republicans who deposed former Speaker McCarthy, "a duly elected speaker."
