Yeah, we are not that stupid. Stop blaming others for your crime. You committed a crime. If you're owning up, own up without pointing fingers. You shouldn't be allowed back in Congress.

[Memememe-isyn]

The guy was a Highschool principal. He literally did what a moronic freshman student might do when panicking about a test they didn't study for in an extremely childish attempt to get his own way and is now blatantly lying about it.

[CommonSense]

Disrupting an official proceeding of Congress carries a 20 year sentence. This insurrectionist must pay.

[dertythegrower]

What he did is a major crime.. how does he still have a job? No justice.

[stevdaughtr]

Never forget the fact that he was almost fighting with people because he didn’t like what they were saying

[nathanjamesbaker]

As a former donor of Bowman's, I would like to see him step down from his congressional seat. He is an embarrassment.

[JeffreyEiler]

If Donald Trump pulled the same exact stunt would he get the same “ deal” from DC District Attorney ?

[jsimmons]

I'm really impressed that he can say this without laughing his head off. He knows he's lying, Congress knows he's lying, & we know he's lying. Yet he'd rather act like a fool then manning up for the lie. SMH

[kci]

I think if he was a Republican he would be checking in for his 20-year stay at the Big House Inn.

[Lacey_Face]

He committed sedition when he pulled that alarm to prevent and obstruct the house & Senate operations.

[catgarza]

Lol, meanwhile the democrats try to stonewall. He knows what he was doing.

[unboxedcharacter]

Thinking the fire alarm opens the door definitely has that affirmative action hire feel to it 😮‍💨

[TheRealDirtMerchant]

Sure, a former school principal does not know what a fire alarm looks like……

[oljimeagle]

This guy is an absolute sociopath. I'd say he has no place jn Capitol Hill but who am I kidding.

[whitemale]

He clearly did this intentionally. The fact that he is only charged with a missdemeanor shows the corruption by the investigators.

Sickening.

[donnag]

Hey Jamaal...STOP You have to be held accountable for your actions. Can you say CRIMINAL 100% YES!

[A_Legal_Immigrant_]

Hypocritical Democrats finally face justice

[bigdog]

Q: why did the Principal pull the fire alarm?

A: To open a door....

He is a lair...

[sjm]

@2:00 how nice of capital police to make a deal of removing this from his criminal records and the media just responds with “ok.”

[sky]

A democrap in a democrap state. It'll be just a slap on the wrist.
