Sanders, Lying Demagogue
Octogenarian Extremist
Update: People are challenging the size of the crowd. If true, it violated fire code.
Please share this article far and wide and encourage as many to contact Congressman Bacon. See more details below.
By now, you probably have heard about Bernie Sanders speaking in Omaha (https://www.c-span.org/program/public-affairs-event/senator-bernie-sanders-holds-town-hall-on-fighting-oligarchy/656042) and the reporting there of (https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/02/22/overflow-omaha-crowd-launches-u-s-sen-bernie-sanders-fighting-oligarchy-tour/).
He is a pure demagogue throwing out his “tax the rich” tropes and pushing socialist philosophy. He is a hypocrite as he is a multi-millionaire. He reminds me of the Socialist Workers Party which was active in much of Omaha’s recent past. My experience has been if you scratch a socialist, you find an anti-Semite, but Sanders is Jewish so this supposedly washes this away. Yet, it does not. Anti-semites listen to him and are inspired by him. “Palestinian” supports still occassionaly protest Republican events. I try to tell Jewish people this but they disregard it as an unwanted annoyance. But Sanders is like Lyndon LaRouche or Ian Paisley stoking fear for the sake of making money and few take him to task for it.
At the same time, the extent Sanders defames Elon Musk and others is way over the top. Right now, many government administrators are flat-out letting government employees go to make Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) look bad. Some government agencies are trying to clean up their situation before DOGE reaches them but others are exploiting the opportunity to make Musk as well as Trump look bad. Of course, there will be some mistakes along the way but that is to be expected with such a large organization as the Federal Government. Yet, Sanders is all too willing to throw sludge at Musk.
Sanders went on talking about the “oligarchy” and I had hopes he was referring to the Democrat Party which sidelined him or the Deep State. Nope, he was hitting at Trump and Musk. His trope here is a cover up for those who undermined the 2020 election, forced President Biden out of the 2024 race, and forced a cackling Harris to be the Democrat Party’s nominee. Yes, there is a dangerous oligarchy but it is on the left, not the right.
But more importantly, Sanders is lying about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) passed under President Trump’s first term. This tax cut, largely formatted by Arthur Laffer, Steve Moore, and Larry Kudlow, was targeted specifically to help working families as Trump had requested it. And, the tax cuts paid for themselves (https://townhall.com/columnists/stephenmoore/2023/01/24/its-official-trumps-tax-cuts-paid-for-themselves-n2618646).
Currently, Omaha’s median household income (according to City officials) is about $70,202. For 2025, these taxes are about this:
But if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) expires, the tax will look like this:
I know Congressman Bacon well enough to know he sees Sanders for the liar Sanders is on this topic at least but he is seeing protests from the left (https://x.com/RepDonBacon/status/1893048925776441448). The Congressman is being polite but he is alerting conservatives as to whom he has to contend with.
For this reason, I highly recommend you contact Bacon and tell him to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent and support DOGE. Link below:
