New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler criticized New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling the fire alarm in Congress and his vote against condemning Hamas.
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., skewered fellow Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., Thursday after the 'Squad' Democrat pled guilty to pulling a House office fire alarm before a crucial government funding vote. Bowman's plea came one day after he voted against a House resolution condemning Hamas for the October 7 attacks on Israel. Lawler told 'FOX & Friends' that Bowman is a 'chaos agent' in Congress.
Look, I mean, the video is pretty clear that he, you know, tore the signs down and pulled the alarm and walked past multiple law enforcement officers without saying, hey, I made a mistake. I accidentally pulled the alarm. So I think the video speaks for itself. But I'll tell you, I was flying home to Westchester last week, and he happened to sit down next to me in the same row.
Bowman, 47, turned himself in on Thursday morning ahead of his arraignment in D.C. Superior Court where he pled guilty to causing the false alarm. The New York Democrat told reporters ahead of the arraignment that he is 'taking responsibility' for causing the false alarm and that 'Hell no' he didn't mean to pull the alarm. 'What I did was against D.C. law,' Bowman said.
