Allowing Rep. Jamaal Bowman to enter into a plea agreement and pay a fine for pulling a fire alarm as members of the House were heading into chambers to vote on Sept. 30 is 'disparate treatment,' Rep. Andy Biggs said.
Allowing Rep. Jamaal Bowman to enter into a plea agreement and pay a fine for pulling a fire alarm as members of the House were heading into chambers to vote on a continuing resolution on Sept. 30 is "disparate treatment," considering how others were prosecuted for impeding an official process in the Jan. 6, 2021 protests, Rep. Andy Biggs said on Newsmax Thursday.
But Biggs said that he and other lawmakers were there a few minutes before Bowman arrived, and saw signs saying that the door was closed, and decided to go another way. That means Bowman should have gotten the same treatment others have gotten who are accused of impeding a vote, being "charged and prosecuted," said Biggs.
"They haven't indicated very much that they're going to work with Republicans other than try to prosecute and file ethics charges against us," Biggs said, adding that he does expect a "massive spending CR" from the Senate.
