Jamaal Bowman Blames ‘Nazi Members’ of GOP After Fire Alarm Scandal – PJ Media "Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who faces potential federal charges for pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote on the stopgap resolution to avert a shutdown, is calling on his fellow Democrats to support him and has sent out talking points that blaming “Nazi members” of the Republican Party.
"Bowman could face as much as 20 years in prison for “corruptly” obstructing an official proceeding under 18 U.S. Code 1512(c) and has consistently claimed the pulling of the fire alarm was accidental, despite the hallway and doors being clearly marked as an emergency exit only and the fire alarm being a standard alarm that requires multiple actions to trigger. Republicans are drafting resolutions to censure or expel Bowman, and now Bowman’s office has distributed a memo to members of his party, complete with talking points.
“ 'On his way to votes today, Congressman Jamaal Bowman was trying to leave the Cannon House Office Building through the exit he regularly uses for votes,” the memo, titled “MESSAGING GUIDANCE: Supporting Congressman Jamaal Bowman After Accidental Fire Alarm” reads. “He was rushing to the House floor to prevent himself from missing a vote, and due to confusing signage and an honest mistake, he pulled the alarm in an attempt to open the door. He was not attempting to delay the vote that he intended to vote yes on, and was simply just trying to rush to the Capitol. Henceforth, MAGA Republicans have used this as an opportunity to distract from their attempt to shut the government down and to minimize January 6th insurrectionists.” . . .
Swalwell Defends Bowman Over Pulling Fire Alarm, Massie Finishes Him Off When 'Fang Fang' Comes Up – RedState . . ."Now, let's see. You had a guy pull the fire alarm in a Congressional building when Democrats were trying to delay a vote. He then comes up with what has to be the most ridiculous excuse ever. Pro tip? No one thinks pulling a fire alarm opens a door. The same guy also lost it in a hallway on a fellow member of Congress. Versus a picture of peaceful, law-abiding gun owners who haven't broken the law or done anything unhinged. Yet Swalwell seems to find the very fact that they are holding guns to be not "stable."
This guy is lecturing us on stable individuals. https://t.co/QRuH6CKpTl pic.twitter.com/C9AuUJAUcH

" Maybe having a relationship with someone who turned about to be a suspected spy is not exactly a "stable" thing? Maybe it makes people doubt your judgment and whether you should be in government. And picking a fight with Massie is not a great idea, because he's not going to hold back.
"Add that to Swalwell's problem with not understanding his oath, and it didn't exactly end well for him.
But it's also a potential criminal act. So what have the US Capitol Police said on the matter? . . ."It was a truly idiotic act, but the excuse spin from Bowman has made it even more ridiculous. He's now trying the tactic that he doesn't understand what the problem is here. He also put out "messaging guidance" to his fellow Democrats to help defend him and then he had to backtrack and say he hadn't meant to use the term "Nazis" while trying to blame his pulling the fire alarm on Republicans. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) walked people through what happened and how what he said made no sense." . . .
