Democrat Jamaal Bowman is an insurrectionist, if we take Democrats at their word that delaying a Congressional vote is “insurrection.”
If a video had surfaced on January 6th of a MAGA hat-wearing white man doing exactly what the New York Representative did nearly a month ago, they would have been arrested, detained until trial, charged by the Department of Justice, and imprisoned for a minimum of several months.
Bowman, as we’re sure you’ve heard by now, pulled a clearly marked fire alarm beside a clearly marked emergency door at the Cannon House Office Building in late September. He did so intentionally in order to delay a House vote on a spending bill at the time.
And we’re not going to play the game that Bowman or the authorities are obviously willing to play. The congressman very clearly pulled the alarm on purpose, with the intent of interfering in official government proceedings.
Rather than face the full force of the justice system, however, Bowman copped a plea for his actions and will have to pay a $1,000 fine and pen a letter of apology.
He’s an insurrectionist. But he got away with it. Why?

Video Shows Bowman Lied About Fire Alarm Stunt
In an incredibly coincidental twist to the sole benefit of Bowman, video of the congressman’s actions that day was released after the plea deal had been struck.
The video definitively shows that he lied about what he was trying to do.
Bowman, who was a school principal and well-versed in fire drills, released an initial statement saying that he was “rushing” to the vote and had pulled the alarm thinking it would open the door.
The video clearly shows he was not rushing in any manner.

Go ahead and watch that video again.
Not only is he not “rushing” to vote, but several other moves on his part show that he had clearly calculated his movements in trying to stall the vote.
First, he does not push on the bar to open the door on the right. He gives it a little tap with his foot, but his hands do not go to the bar. Instead, they reach for the emergency sign sitting on that handle, and he pulls it off the door.
Next, he taps the bottom of the sign on the left door as a means to knock it to the floor. With those two signs now removed, Bowman can feign not knowing it was an emergency exit only.
Look at all the warnings … Jamaal Bowman said in his statement that this door is “usually open for votes”

And third, Bowman’s initial statement indicated that he “activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door.”
But the video shows him quickly hit the switch and, oddly enough, he doesn’t turn back to the right where the doors are. Instead, he immediately turns to the left without even looking in the other direction.
If he thought that switch would open the door, he would have hit it and then moved toward the door.
Bowman, knowing he’s gotten away with his actions, continued to pretend it was an accident.
Saved by more suppressed video.
Well, “Democrat” and “liar” are synonymous. So, now it’s up to the House to censure him, but GOOD. Remember all the fake Democrat outrage over Santos’ lies? Here is a lie that was not only dangerous but was intended to harm the government and place the blame on Republicans. No wonder Bowman and the Squad support Hamas. Same tactics.
