Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a former school principal who pulled a fire alarm in the U.S. Capitol complex moments before the House was scheduled to vote on a bill preventing a government shutdown, did so because he thought it would “open the door.”
As Breitbart News reported:
U.S. Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee, which oversees House operations and Capitol security, are investigating.
A photo being circulated by Capitol Police appears to show Bowman pulling the fire alarm, as reported by Punchbowl News. Falsely reporting a fire is a misdemeanor crime in the District of Columbia punishable by

The arrogance of these leftists knows no bounds. He does not care that we know that the lever he pulled says right on it: "FIRE ALARM". How many of these has he seen in school hallways? No, the real stupidity lies with those who elected this person.

I can't tell you how many times I've done the exact same thing. Whenever I want to leave a room which has a closed door - - I look for a fire alarm to speed my exit.
And it's the same thing when I want to cross a busy street. I pull a fire alarm to stop the traffic - - then I walk safely across.
I've caused many a chaotic ruckus - - but I've always gotten out of the room and across the street. Good thinking, Jamaal!

School principal? This is chimp-level thinking and this clown is a member of the House. The Capitol Police could not properly arrest one of their own who shot an unarmed US Veteran at point-blank range and they are "investigating" this putz? Might as well arrest Joe's vicious dog. I am tired of affirmative action quality people running this country and that problem goes all the way to the top.

I ask this: If you work in the private sector and falsely pulled the fire alarm at your place of employment, would you still be working there?

Our daughter catches shoplifters for a major retailer. The most common retort from male/female-white/minority-young/old when approached & asked why are you doing this is across the board arrogance; 'What Are You Going To Do About It?'

What an idiot seeking to deflect INTENTIONAL blame and personal responsibility of his actions.
Its the way of the world these days, trying to get absolution and forgiveness instead of asking for permission and EXPECTING to get a pass

Question: is this the first time Bowman has gone to that "door he was trying to open"? Where does that door lead to? What is on the other side of the door? Why did Bowman want to get through that particular door? Did he give up trying to get to his intended destination when the fire alarm went off? What was his intention when he approached the direction of the door and alarm? Why did he not try the door first before pushing the alarm? How familiar was he with this location?

All he has to say is he "thought" he smelled smoke and was trying to save everyone. Who could disprove him? Other Dems will pop up to say they wondered about a faint smoke smell as well. It's a win/win for the Dems because the media will make him a hero.
Don't give the Dems the satisfaction of engaging in nonsense like this. Stop taking the bait.

So, you want us to believe that you are incredibly stupid, is that it?
If so, you should leave Congress voluntarily.
But you won't because you know you are unemployable in the private sector.

You’ve got to remember folks. This racist, arrogant, hostile dimwit is a proud member of the congressional Black democrat caucus. There’s not a smart one in that clown bunch. Also MTG had that fool pegged when they got into it. So him lying about the fire alarm is SOP for Bowmann.

Why not as, Jamal Bowman is a Black leftist Socialist Democrat. Such favored Democrats are exempt from the law these days. If a wimpy Republican had done that, he or she would already be in the custody of the FBI preparing to appear before a leftist Democrat Judge charged with an insurrectional attempt to disrupt Congress.

Has the American work ethic, which used to be renowned, declined to a point where our politicians can't even be bothered to craft a plausible lie any more? At minimum, Bowman ought to get a penalty for the stupidest excuse of the year.

He has been in that office for three years, that was NOT a door he EVER used, and KNEW it was emergency only..
Where is his office in relation to that door? Same floor? What other office/offices had he been to just prior?
He was coordinating with people in the senate, trying to delay house votes long enough for the Senate to get a final vote on a similar Bill, before the House passed theirs(for media reasons). WHO was he in contact with immediately prior to this? Cell/text/insta/email and direct conversation? ALL those communications need to be retrieved as evidence "in case" there is a broader "Conspiracy"..

He's a Democrat. He could say he thought that the fire alarm signaled a fairy elf to serve a pot of gold and the news media would say, "Oh that makes sense."

Are we supposed to think he's stupid? Yet he's in the house of representatives, and was a doctorate in education, and he was a school principal. But despite all of that, he's stupid. And he's black. Normally, we'd think somone with a doctorate, a school principal, and a congressman wouldn't actually be stupid. Yet we're to believe he is. Maybe it's because of his race. Perhaps I'm looking at this as a white man. A white man would know that a fire alarm does not open the door. Mostly because a fire alarm has "fire" written on it. But that's me, becausse I'm white. Blacks on the other hand, perhaps don't know what the word "fire" means. Or that fire alarms are red. Maybe I think he did it intentionally simply because I'm white. If I were black, I'd know that congressman don't know how to read, and are color blind. And although he's had years in school settings with fire alarms, he never ever knew what they were. Typically whites associate something like that as stupid, but that's because we don't understand blacks. To blacks, this is unparalleled brilliance. So what is it? Are blacks stupid? or is this guy lying? Personally, I think this guy is lying.

God help the Democratic Party with idiots like Bowman. Only idiots will vote for idiots and as usual they will continue to do so. Vote your heart, not you family history and show you are above the rest.
