LINCOLN — A national advertising vendor pulled a billboard ad targeting U.S. Rep. Don Bacon from a Democratic-aligned group after the National Republican Congressional Committee, or NRCC, pressured them with a threat of legal action.

Last week, the NRCC succeeded in removing some similar House Majority Forward ads running in four of six swing districts held by House Republicans that the group targeted.

The NRCC told the Examiner last week they were trying to find the vendor who handled the anti-Bacon ads and would “get them taken down.” The group called the ads “defamatory” because of the claim of Bacon voting to “cut” Medicaid.

Bacon has said the ads were “dishonest” on social media. The House Majority Forward ad referred to Bacon’s vote for a proposed GOP budget, which included a level of cuts that a non-partisan federal budget office said earlier this month can’t happen without cutting Medicare or Medicaid.
