House CENSURES Jamaal Bowman for pulling the fire alarm during crucial votes
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The House voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Firebug Bowman
...sleazy Dem politician and educator, U.S. representative for New York's safe 16th congressional district since 2021. On September 30, 2023, while House Dems were desperately attempting to delay a vote that avoided shutting the government down so they could blame it on the Pubs, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, causing the building to be evacuated. Bowman told reporters he thought it was a doorknob or something. Capitol Police released a statement saying they were investigating the fire alarm incident, and maybe a few rubes somewhere expected something to come of it. Republicans introduced a motion to expel Bowman from the House but that evaporated too. Bowman issued a statement saying they were Nazis. Bowman is a member of The Squad, a faction of like-minded subversives...
for pulling the fire alarm during a vote to avert a government shutdown.

The vote was 214 to 191, with five members voting 'present.'

Four Democrats, all on the Ethics Committee, voted 'present' - as is standard for ethics-related matters. Three Democrats voted to censure Bowman - Rep. Jahana Hayes, Conn., Chris Pappas, N.H., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.

One Republican voted against it: Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.

Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., forced a vote on the resolution this week by making it 'privileged.'

Republicans have pushed to censure, and maybe even expel, Bowman since the incident on September 30.

#1 Apply the same legal actions to him as are being applied to the Jan 6th protesters.

Obstruction of congressional or administrative proceedings (18 U.S.C. 1505)

Even as, and especially as, a LSD DC Swamper skilled in US law.
He should be in jail and facing 5 years of prison time, as it was a DIRECT & ILLEGAL ACTION to halt a Congressional Vote.

#2 They jail school kids for doing this, and that's just to delay a math test or something.

#4 Santos gets the boot and Bowman gets a slap on the wrist. The Republican majority shrinks. They don't call it the Stupid Party for nothing.

#5 I suspect that triggering the fire alarm in the Capitol to interrupt a vote violates a special statute that is being ignored.
