Ocasio-Cortez Defends Bowman Pulling Fire Alarm: ‘Moment of Panic’
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/01/2023 9:41:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

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.

Ten years as a high school principal and he doesn’t know from a fire alarm? The alarm was on a different wall from the doors and they said he threw the signs out of the way. Who panics because they are going to go vote for something? Why wasn't he there to vote earlier that he was 'so late' and how did that make him so stupid he couldn't see what a fire alarm was?

Commonly used as a light switch. Can also open doors.

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

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. “

The Jan. 6 protesters were in a panic, too. Why are they in prison but he isn’t?
