UPDATE: Democrat Squad Member Jamaal Bowman Hurled Emergency Exit Signs on Floor Before Pulling Nearby Fire Alarm – a Dangerous Criminal Act – WHERE IS THE DOJ?

According to an exclusive report by Breitbart News, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) allegedly tore down two signs warning that a door on the second floor of the Cannon House Office Building was for emergency use only. He then proceeded to pull the fire alarm, leading to a full-scale law enforcement and emergency services response, which resulted in the evacuation of the building.

On Saturday, New York Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon Building to effectively shut down Congressional proceedings.

Bowman’s actions were aimed at obstructing a crucial vote that would have kept the government operational.

The Capitol Police have since made a photo public.

Multiple sources familiar with the ongoing investigation have provided Breitbart News with photographs of the scene.

These photos show that the emergency exit door had two large red signs stating, “EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY—PUSH UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS (3 SECONDS) DOOR WILL UNLOCK IN 30 SECONDS.” Another sign on a stand in front of the door also indicated that it was an emergency exit only.

According to a source familiar with the matter, Bowman casually approached the door earlier in the day, ripped off the emergency signs, and threw them on the floor.

He then attempted to open the door and pulled the fire alarm. After the alarm was triggered, Bowman left the building through a different door on the first floor and made his way across the street to cast votes. At no point did he apologize or indicate that pulling the fire alarm was a mistake.

In response to Bowman pulling the alarm, his digital director, Emma Simon, offered a lame excuse, stating, “Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion.”

It was later reported Bowman told reporters, “I was just trying to get to my vote the door that’s usually open wasn’t open..I didn’t mean to cause confusion. I didn’t know it was going to trip the whole building. I thought it would help me open the door.”

This is a false statement as Rep. George Santos later proved in a video he released after the dangerous incident.

Today, there are hundreds of Trump supporters who walked inside the open doors of the US Capitol, shook hands with police, and were sentenced to months and years in federal prison for these innocent acts.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the Jan. 6 protests he did not even attend. Tarrio was not even in the District of Columbia at the time.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) immediately called on the Biden DOJ to prosecute Democrat Jamaal Bowman using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants who were charged with interfering with an official proceeding.

McCarthy spoke about Bowman while addressing reporters after the House passed the continuing resolution.

“When you think about how other people were treated when they come in and wanted to change the course of what was happening in the building,” McCarthy said.

“This should not go without punishment,” McCarthy said. “I’m gonna have a discussion with the Democratic leader about it. But this should not go without punishment. This is an embarrassment.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) released a resolution to expel Bowman.

Malliotakis posted, “This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school. This action warrants expulsion & I’m introducing a resolution to do just that.”

Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) refuses to condemn the actions of Jamaal Bowman.
