Many DUmmies realize that pulling The House fire alarm was really f'n stupid.

Thank you kindly for finding the thread, of which I'm certain are many. There was a lot of bat guano crazy denial in your DUmp link.
Trying to watch/listen and/or follow three college football games along with Major League Baseball. A smorgasbord of stuff to keep up with. :cheersmate:

They are throwing so much crap against the wall trying to make excuses for this guy that it's gotten ridiculous. Here is one of the tweets that "prove" that it was an innocent mistake:
Bowman was trying to walk from the Cannon building to the Capitol building to vote. Unusually, the Cannon exit he went to wouldn't open and had this confusing sign on it. He thought it was saying you had to press the alarm to get out. This all makes sense. What am I missing?

What exactly is confusing about the sign? It's a crash bar emergency exit. Every elementary school student has seen one and has been taught what a fire alarm does. Is this adult, who was a public school teacher, claiming that he doesn't understand basic English, or doesn't know what the words "Emergency Exit" mean, or doesn't know how a crash bar door works or was never taught why fire alarms are only supposed to be pulled in emergencies? Maybe it's good that he's in Congress because it's keeping him away from children. The whole issue reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons:

Democrats in action. They would have all of America's problems solved by now if only they could figure out how doors work.

Rep. Bowman under investigation for pulling fire alarm as McCarthy compares it to Jan. 6
Source: NBC News
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called for Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., to be punished after he pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building on Saturday, comparing it to the Jan 6 rioters who attacked the building.
"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.
McCarthy went on to say that the Ethics Committee should take the pulled fire alarm "seriously."
"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.”

4. Rhetoric aside, it seems like a bad stunt
You’re not allowed to yell “Fire!” in a theater. Pulling an alarm in the absence of a fire seems similar.
Democrats should not stoop to juvenile acts. We’re better than that.

12. First, prove Bowman did it.
Second, if he did maybe he suspected a fire. All of that smoldering shit in the House can be confusing y'know.
Third, GFY McCarthy.
Like so many stupid Karens, this DUmmie doesn't know about security cameras. Then again, Bowman didn't either. Or maybe he knew that pols with the magic golden D after their name don't receive consequences.
