Why didn’t Vargas get cops’ endorsement?

ICYMI, the Omaha Police Officers endorsed Don Bacon yesterday.

Why did the endorsement come so early this year? The answer is simple: Vargas spreads extreme anti-police rhetoric.

In 2020, Vargas joined the violent anti-police protests in the streets of Omaha and then claimed police overstepped by trying to stop the violence.

“Vargas is shamefully siding with the vandals, rioters, and looters seeking to tear us apart,” said the Omaha Police Officers Association in response.

“It’s no mystery why Tony Vargas wasn’t considered for an endorsement by the Omaha police. While Vargas joins violent protests and spreads extreme anti-cop rhetoric, Congressman Bacon has the backs of law enforcement.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
