Donald Trump demanded that Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman be thrown in jail for pulling the fire alarm during a key government shutdown vote - arguing his transgression may have been worse than the January 6 riots.
'Will Congressman Jamal [sic] Bowman be prosecuted and imprisoned for very dangerously pulling and setting off the main fire alarm system in order to stop a Congressional vote that was going on in D.C.,' Trump posted to Truth Social one day after the incident.
'His egregious act is covered on tape, a horrible display of nerve and criminality. It was a very dangerous "Obstruction of an Official Proceeding," the same as used against our J-6 prisoners.
'Actually, his act may have been worse. HE MUST SUFFER THEIR SAME FATE. WHEN WILL HIS TRIAL BEGIN???'
Bowman has served as the representative for New York's 16th congressional district since 2021.
The district covers a large swathe of the north Bronx as well as the southern half of Westchester County, including Bowman's hometown of Yonkers.
He set off the fire alarm on a door at the Cannon House Office on Saturday.
The House was about to vote on a bipartisan bill to keep the government open for 45 days and avoid a shutdown.
The bill had overwhelming Democratic support but members of the party were buying time to read it once it was unveiled by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The House Administration Committee soon after released a surveillance image that showed Bowman reaching for the alarm.
The Committee manages daily operations for the U.S. House of Representatives and also oversees the Capitol Police Board.
Bowman's office insisted that he had activated the alarm by mistake.

“But that’s different.”
J6 him
Dem and “black privilege” — You can be lawless and stupid.
“It would be like pulling the high school fire alarm, so you wouldn’t have to take the semester final.”
This happens to conservative speakers on college campuses all the time. A tried a true method of creating panic, confusion, and disruption. If one of us did it, it would be the crime of the century, and the RINOs would be piling on just like the communists. This crap is really starting to grate on me.
“It was no mistake.”
Yes, that little red lever, fairly difficult to grab, all those emergency insignas, way away from the door, on the hall wall, etc. His district is certainly not sending us their best and brightest.
Someone with a Trump hat on would still be in jail and the MSM talking heads would probably have stroked out on air.
No one is above the law....unless they are Democrats then ...
Sorry, but unless he’s wearing the secret MAGA disguise, the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo hat and goat leggings, it’s merely an exercise in free speech.
Who needs a trial? He's caught on tape doing it.
If they can take away Trump's entire business empire with no trial, they can convict this guy with no trial.

Jamaal has a very obvious get out of jail card that he can use whenever he wants.

From paragraph 10 of your Breitbart excerpt:
“then made his way across the street to votes.”
Our best and brightest.
Who knew a member of Congress didnt know what would happen if he pulled the red thingy?
