House votes to censure 'Squad' member Bowman for pulling fire alarm
The House of Representatives is formally reprimanding Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., on Thursday morning over his pulling of a fire alarm earlier this year.
The House voted largely along party lines, 214 to 191, to censure Bowman, who pulled the alarm despite no immediate threat of a fire in the middle of a dramatic floor vote. Three Democrats voted with Republicans to censure him – Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., Chris Pappas, D-N.H., and Jahana Hayes, D-Conn.
Five members of the House Ethics Committee voted "present."
Lawmakers were on Capitol Hill on Saturday, Sept. 30, for an intense day of negotiation aimed at averting a government shutdown when the clock struck midnight. .......
==========================
Bowman knew exactly what he was doing. Even a Democrat can't be that dumb. He was trying to disrupt an official governmental proceeding. He should have gotten censored and jail time.
