Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said Thursday his wife slept with a loaded gun after receiving more threatening phone calls from voters who were angry that he voted against Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) Speakership bid.

“She had terrible phone calls,” Bacon told reporters. “I didn’t sleep well last night. I called her, and I go, ‘How you doing?’ She goes, ‘I slept really good. I had wa loaded gun.’”

“So there were some, it was ugly phone calls,” he added.

I wonder how these reps would feel is they could hear the voicemails of some of their opponents. That is their base, they nurtured that relationship.

This has to be a dog whistle to the NRA right?

That's Bobert's nickname at parties. Always loaded, always cocked and ready for action.

Do they usually leave the gun unloaded or something?
