Kevin McCarthy calls out Jamaal Bowman for his fire alarm stunt delaying vote and lawyering up!

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) pulled a fire alarm in the Capitol on September 30, 2023, just before a crucial government funding vote, which is seen as a clear obstruction of Congress.

The incident caused immediate chaos, forcing the evacuation of the Capitol and disrupting the vote, jeopardizing the lives and safety of his colleagues. This deliberate act diverted Capitol Police resources from their duties, putting both law enforcement & Bowman’s colleagues at risk.

Despite his claim that it was accidental, Republicans have accused Bowman of intentionally trying to stop the vote and launched an investigation. There is also discussion of legislation to expel him from the House.

Former President Trump even called for his imprisonment, raising questions about why Bowman sought legal representation immediately if it truly was an accident. Bowman's explanation was that he pulled the alarm while trying to open a locked door.

However, the incident has ignited a political firestorm, emphasizing the gravity of obstructing Congress within the Capitol.
