CNN reporter Manu Raju ambushed Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman and confronted him over his non-stop lies about pulling the fire alarm in the Capitol.
Insurrectionist Jamaal Bowman was caught on camera pulling the fire alarm in the Cannon building after Democrats unsuccessfully tried to adjourn the House of Representatives and go home hours before a government shutdown in September.
Bowman tore down emergency exit signs before he pulled the fire alarm in an effort to obstruct a crucial vote.

However, he continued to lie and gaslight after he committed a crime.
“You know, I don’t know why this has gotten so much attention. I was literally just in a rush to go vote, man! That’s all it was!” a smug Bowman told a reporter last month.
Last month Jamaal Bowman was criminally charged by the DC attorney general for pulling the fire alarm in the US Capitol.
He reported to the police station last Thursday to be booked, fingerprinted, and have his mugshot taken.
Later that day Jamaal Bowman said he struck a deal with Democrat DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb to have the fire alarm charges expunged from his record once he pays a measly fine. He will not be held in the DC Gulag like dozens of Trump supporters for their actions at the January 6, 2021 protests, many who did much less than this.
A CNN reporter confronted Democrat Jamaal Bowman about his lies.
“Why’d you plead guilty to knowingly pulling a fire alarm when you said you didn’t know it was a fire alarm?” CNN’s Manu Raju asked Bowman.
“Why are we still talking about this, man?” Bowman replied.
“You weren’t straight about what happened!” Manu Raju said.
“I was very straight!” Bowman claimed.
