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.
