Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) is threatening to hold up tens of billions of dollars in military funding until the Pentagon outlines its plans for sending a U.S. Army brigade to Poland.

Bacon said in an interview this week that he won’t support a final reconciliation bill until the Trump administration starts undoing its cancellation of the deployment. With the razor-thin GOP margin of control in the House, Bacon’s stance is a problem for Republican leaders.

“If they want our support for the reconciliation bill, they better move out and get those 5,000 troops back to Poland,” said Bacon, who’s retiring at the end of this Congress. “Why do I want to fund policies that I disagree with?”

It will help one citizen of Nebraska. The one that is being payed to hold up reconciliation. Looks like he is securing his retirement package.

Well then, just shut down the military and see if it is all better Honorable Don Bacon. He thinks Trump is moving into lame duck territory.

He must have a side hustle for military logistics or ammo

Don Bacon is a piece of shite. He’s in the mold of Cornyn and Thune and McConnell. He’s RINO all the way and that’s why he got voted out.

How can Trump "not get anything done" with all of these stellar GOP people in Congress?

Dude is retiring after this term? Why does he care whether reconciliation goes through or not? Why does he care if Poland has 5000 troops or not?

There’s very likely millions of reasons why, which should be investigated and prosecuted for.

He needs a little persuasive visit. Then he can vote the right way after explaining how he "fell down the stairs".
