So I've checked Twitter and this is the only source for it. I get she works for politico, but she also says she hasn't seen the footage. Plus he's tweeted since she tweeted and hasn't brought it up. The right is running wild with it, wanting him executed and charged as an insurrectionist obviously.

Pulling a fire alarm is punishable by death or long imprisonment? The right, as usual, have lost their minds, if he did or didnt do it.

That reporter was probably conned by a GOP
source and stupidly ran with it on a platform already rife with misinformation.

That's just me giving her the benefit of the doubt assuming she didn't make up bullshit herself.

Committing a crime.

https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/22-1319

It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to willfully or knowingly give a false alarm of fire within the District of Columbia, and any person or persons violating the provisions of this subsection shall, upon conviction, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine not more than the amount set forth in 22-3571.01 or by imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/jamaal-bowman-pulled-fire-alarm-rcna118230

The fire alarm, which Bowman's office suggested was unintentional, came as Democrats were trying to delay a vote after Republicans rushed to pass the stopgap measure.

I sure as hell wouldnt.

It was a stupid thing to do and he should face consequences, but yeah, House Republicans rushing a bill through without clear reading might have been disastrous.

Bump. Another report is saying it was a door alarm, not a fire alarm. A total accident. This was retweeted on the Meidastouch Twitter page. We will see if this is the truth, someone may have jumped the gun in reporting this. We will see.

That feels like a mistake I could make. My abuela's old apartment had a bunch of utility controls right next to local door controls, which were also next to elevator controls. Lord know I pressed some things I shouldn't have the first few times.

Ah, interesting. I hope it does end up being an innocent mistake. I retract my statement from my earlier post.

It's surprisingly easy to get swept up by right-wing lies. That is why we must learn to always partially doubt what the internet says until there is more information.

Even if you go down crazy batshit alley, how could delaying a vote on preventing the shutdown benefit anyone? And how long did this delay them before they ended up returning to vote and pass it anyway? Also he went straight to authorities with this and said Yep, I'm the idiot that did that. Like how much brain rot must a person have to think he had malicious intent.
