Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was a “moment of panic” while defending Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm to possibly delay a vote on legislation designed to avoid a government shutdown.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “There was an interesting moment over the weekend when your New York colleague, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, he’s under investigation for this now after Capitol Police say he pulled a fire alarm in one of the House office buildings. Democrats were trying to delay a final vote on the bill. There he is, pulling the fire alarm. He says it was an accident. He thought pulling the alarm would open a door based on the fact that the doors to his right there was locked, and there was a sign that I think someone said it was confusing. I’ll be honest. It doesn’t really make sense to me, his explanation. Have you talked to him?”

The problem is the coordinated effort failed when the person assigned to start the actual fire blew it. If they hadn’t, he would have been a prescient hero.
She wasn’t hiding under her desk in fear of a fire?
Surprised…
People will actually buy this BS. It’s affirmative action of a different kind. Low IQ negroes get a pass on everything in life. It’s never their fault.
Cupid Stunt!
I can think of only one place where doors are locked to prevent someone from exiting the building.
It’s called a “jail”.
Maybe Rep. Bowman should learn about locked doors by spending some time there.
Wasn’t one of the charges against Trump and his supporters who were on the Capitol that they were “impending a lawful process of the legislation” and threatened with long sentences?
Guess it’s okay when they do it!
He got confused due to the legacy of slavery and MAGA racism. Could have happened to anyone. /s
You can just hear the braying. 😄
I bet the J6ers felt the same way and THEY are in PRISON for DECADES. Throw Bowman in solitary confinement w them
lol......good one
AOC has perfect score 0% Right but 100% Wrong
Bowman’s story keeps changing:
<><>he was confused,
<><>He was panicked,
<><>he thought he smelled smoke,
<><>he didnt happen to have a fire extinguisher on him
<><>he always wanted to be a fireman
The guy’s as pure as the driven snow. He’s a Congressman, he had no criminal intent.
They need to stick to one story. How about “he’s an idiot. “
I see AOC as a co-conspirator.

Sounds worse than Jan 6th. Hang him.
The Jan. 6 protesters were in a panic, too. Why are they in prison but he isn’t?
DemonRats always defend the indefensible.
