Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm to disrupt a House vote over funding the government.
Don’t believe his BS excuse about thinking it would open a door.
The man’s a former middle-school principal, and there’s no way on earth he could have gotten confused about what the fire alarm would do.
This is an assault on democracy, a grave crime against the Republic.
Or so we’d be hearing from the media — if Bowman belonged to the other party.
Can you imagine the outcry if Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz had pulled this stunt?
Wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-wall coverage.
A 24-hour live feed on CNN devoted to the end of America as we know it.
Screaming thinkpieces from the Times op-ed page about Trump, Trump, Trump!
Tweet threads stretching to the horizon and beyond accusing the perp of working for the Russians (or acting through internalized white supremacy).
Not only was Bowman a middle school principal, he was obviously a teacher for a number of years before starting into administrator roles. All along he would have been participating in fire drills, usually once per month. So his whopper excuses don’t pass the smell test.
OTOH, Dr. (cough) Bowman holds the same prestigious degree as Dr. Jill!
Peter Principle, anyone?
Yesterdays news…..he went off script and the writers still havent returned so it will be forgotten.
