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.
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.
It's always those kinds of guys
😂😂😂
And you wonder why kids grew up with no respect.
Elementary school principle and I agree with you
I'm sure he's suspended kids for less he's a lair
Disrupting an official proceeding of Congress carries a 20 year sentence. This insurrectionist must pay.
He won't
HE "B" BLACK! HE Do no know! This is your Democrats.
@zur13l13 liking your own comment is a sign of mental illness
When did Jordan pull a fire alarm to stop a vote?
@zur13l13He pulled a fire alarm too?
Black privilege will let him get away.
What he did is a major crime.. how does he still have a job? No justice.
Black Privilege card perhaps ?
Felony....!!!!
Ask Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to repeat just one more time, "No one is above the law!"
As a former donor of Bowman's, I would like to see him step down from his congressional seat. He is an embarrassment.
I notice that you did not say that you want him charged just as any republican would be, charged with the FELONY and sent to prison for eleven years just like republicans were. Therein lies the real issue.
Sure, a former school principal does not know what a fire alarm looks like……
👍😂 Exactly
Meh....public school... sorta makes sense.
Most Jan 6th were there just to support Biden!
@@frlouiegoad4087 What about October 13th ?
Leave kids alone@@frlouiegoad4087
Never forget the fact that he was almost fighting with people because he didn’t like what they were saying
Quite true...almost as if his jungle instincts took over.
Black...
Good that he didn't have spears. Such aggressive mentality.
prime example of privilege
Bingo
I think if he was a Republican he would be checking in for his 20-year stay at the Big House Inn.
@zur13l13what’s a reichwinger?
@zur13l13how is he not guilty? By your current logic? He literally pulled the fire alarm to stop an official proceeding...and he's changed his story like 4 times
So we have a video, we know what time he pulled it, he knew Dems his caucus wanted a stay of the vote...it's literally the song it wasn't me by shaggy...that is his theme song...oo caught me on camera it wasn't me, gonna tell America I'm sorry for the things that I've done, I pulled the fire alarm knowing I would get caught..I've been listening to your reason, even though its on video...but all that I can say is that I didn't know... Oh and please dont send me to jail ,and it's totally the republicans fault 😂 Bowman is a joke
@zur13l13
Newsflash fer ya!
There's video of him removing the warning signs from the doors and then pulling the alarm and then walking away without ever trying the door.
He never tried to open the doors!
@zur13l13 In response to your childish comment, the difference is, he actually is GUILTY. If he had an "R" in front of his name, every MSM outlet in the country would be calling for him to step down. So, I know you Democrats can't help yourselves from the "what about someone else" deflection, but how in the world do you think someone who doesn't know what a fire alarm does, should be someone making decisions on how this country is run?
Thinking the fire alarm opens the door definitely has that affirmative action hire feel to it 😮💨
🤣
Lol
He B Black? He not Know!
You would think an ex school principle would know what a fire alarm is. But then again our education system is failing us.
If Donald Trump pulled the same exact stunt would he get the same “ deal” from DC District Attorney ?
Lol, meanwhile the democrats try to stonewall. He knows what he was doing.
I haven't seen a Democrat making pathetic excuses, since Chris Hansen said, "Why don't you take a seat ". 😂
This guy is an absolute sociopath. I'd say he has no place jn Capitol Hill but who am I kidding.
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
He committed sedition when he pulled that alarm to prevent and obstruct the house & Senate operations.
Hey Jamaal...STOP LYING!!!!! You have to be held accountable for your actions. Can you say CRIMINAL ACTIONS????? 100% YES!
We’re not that stupid..you knew better…now you’ll always be remembered for pulling that alarm and lying about it
A democrap in a democrap state. It'll be just a slap on the wrist.
Hypocritical Democrats finally face justice
He paid a grand fine.
I mean, if you say that justice is giving him a slap on the wrist to make him immune to more serious charges via double jeopardy.
A fine, a letter of apology to the Capital Police, all to be expunged in 3 months…that’s not justice, that’s a joke.
3 months probation and a $1000 fine. There was no justice here, just racial privilege.
Justice? That dingle berry is getting off with a misdemeanor charge and a 1000$ fine. Any Republican that would have done what he did would be facing a felony charge and thrown into the DC gulag and held for years before they got a trial.
Media totally refused to talk about this story. The GOP needs to expell him from congress.
You are writing this comment on a Forbes RUclips channel. Forbes is part of the media.
At a minimum he should be formally censured.
NO, the FEDERAL PROSECUTORS need to charge him with the FEDERAL CRIME that they charged conservatives with and have him sentenced to the same 11 year average that the conservatives received. This is SELECTIVE prosecution at work.
I like his excuse of "I sorry" "I not know fire alarm from door."
Wonder if he understands how the light goes on when you open door on the refrigerator ????
By the looks of it, obviously 🤣
@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.”
Black, Democrat privilege.
He clearly did this intentionally. The fact that he is only charged with a missdemeanor shows the corruption by the investigators.
Sickening.
What a shame that Jamal Bowman has done nothing to raise the bar on what we expect from others, let alone congressman and former school principals.
literal privilege
and it clearly is not huuwhyyte, as he always claims
Q: why did the Principal pull the fire alarm?
A: To open a door....
He is a lair...
what if the fire truck or police crashed into someone innocent.. this guy dis a major crime and he walks... privilege at its finest yet he claims everyone else like me have it because of my tone.. no real justice
Jamaal got off easy, but Republicans will take comfort knowing Bowman will always be the butt of fire alarm jokes.
Is he going to reimburse the public for the cost of the services rendered?
So... If justice is equal for all people, when somebody pulls a fire alarm or yells fire in a movie theater, all they have to do is say "It was an accident. I was in a hurry." And they will be able to get out of going to jail... Nice!
Things a corrupt politician does for a $1,000 Alex.
LOL. That was his fine amount.
He's still making excuses for pulling a fast one and a fire alarm 🤣 Stereotypical Socialist
Supposed to be the best in brightest in Government coming out of Ivy League Colleges. No wonder why the world laughs at us.
Yelling fire in a crowded theater is a crime because of the potential harm to others.
Pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire is a similar crime.
He should serve jail time....
I was in a hurry to get to work and still got a speeding ticket
There's a new video out showing Bowman removing the warning signs from the doors, then going over to pull the fire alarm and walking away. Typically politician, liar .
Fire alarm = door knob. Got it 😂
And he was a school principal too 🤣
In such a hurry he deliberately tore the 2 signs off of the doors 🚪...everyone knows that if you rip the signs off of an emergency door it'll open .😂
All his excuses are BS. He shall be expelled out of Congress.
Now that the video was out, you can clearly see that he did not try to open the door after pulling the alarm, which debunks his defense 100%. #LockHimUp
Unbelievable that he can keep his job after breaking the law.
Vote him out, and the Squad, you did it for an agenda
This dude is a sociopath. Tries to act super calm and smooth when speaking. But is lying thru his teeth. And he's scared because his words are shaking. He might actually have to be held accountable for his actions. This guy will only get worse. And any diversion he can create to help himself out of trouble. Bad Dude.
Two systems of justice
I don't believe you're excuses.
You were a principled all know all about fire alarms.
Friggin hysterical hypocrisy
He was hiding out right after he did it and was nowhere to be found. Now he cuts a sweetheart deal to avoid jail? He's a thug and got special treatment! He should have gotten 10 years.
Federal charges are needed and warranted.
We don’t want you to take a deal and pay a fine. You are elected official who committed a felon.
The lying Bowman, committed a Insurrection.
Pleads guilty...gets record expunged?? Black or Democrat privilege? Or both?
The ability to lie in front of the camera that easily......
100% sure he knows what a Fire Alarm does and what it is used for, and unlocking doors is not one. That is why he didn't try going out the door after he pulled the alarm. Only reason that comes to mind is to delay the vote.
20 year mandatory jail sentence.
pants on fire .... you did this to your self Jamal Smollet... 🤣
He doesn’t know what a fire alarm lever looks like? Does he know how to read? Because my 10-year-old knows what it is and what it looks like.
Pulling the fire alarm without there being a fire is a felony and you could spend up to 3 years in prison…..
Now that the video has been released, he should face new charges and be expelled
While he's laughing about it and lying because he doesn't know that the video is out now, that's showing him shamelessly pulling both signs off the doors right before hurrying to pull the alarm.
He definitely was up to something. That was a deliberate act, the farthest thing from an accidental pull of that alarm. He did that on purpose, and he had a reason for doing it. Now he is lying over and over to everyone.
I wonder what would happen to me if I pulled a fire alarm if a vote was being done in congress...
He was in a rush! So much of a rush he paused to pull a fire alarm!
Caught red handed
I haven't seen a Democrat caught so red handed since Chris Hansen said, "Why don't you take a seat "
To quote “I’m looking forward to just taking a deal, paying the fine and in 3 months this being dismissed” what a crock of shit the US legal system is. A complete liar literally goes free.
Two tier justice system.
Black Privilege.
The video shows him walking up to the doors and immediately removing the Warning signs and then pulling the alarm and then walking away without ever trying the door!
At no point in time did he try to open the door!
GUILTY!!!
What would happen if any other citizen did this. Privilege on his side!
A "Bowman" in a suit is still a "Bowman".
Throw him in jail for 22 years.
He's looking for this to be dismissed in 90 days..and it probably will.
This is what accountability looks like, folks.
Seems like everywhere you go these days, there's always a "Bowman" hiding in the woodpile.
He's on camera saying he struck a deal, and will only pay a fine and after 3 months it will be off his record!!!!!!!!!
Would the rest of us get that same deal if we broke the law like this.
There's a longer video of him pulling the alarm and he it clearly looks like he did it on purpose
BS! He flat-out pulled the fire alarm to disrupt the process. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This needs to stay on his record! He is still being deceptive!
No this is what you did.
lies
He's a pathological liar and a racist bully. He needs to go to jail on Federal Charges.
What a LIE! IF HE WAS A TRUMP VOTER?
What he really means is "dayum! I got away with it! It's true, just double down and with the help of the msm, it can be done!"
Please. Then why would he do this?? Why are people like this in any office? Ridiculous.
He needs to see time
Democrat faced Jail time😆only Republicans. Ridiculous he disrupted the US Congress. Democrat Justice for you.
Wasn’t trying to disrupt proceedings…?! Was in too much of a rush to tell anyone he did it at the time? And people believe this guy?
A bully who loudtalks his women colleagues... and a liar as well.
Violent crime and murder is up almost 40% in his district since his election victory. Emboldeneding criminals with his anti police/ pro criminal stance
It's like an episode of Cops. This aint my car these aint my pants I didnt know I had drugs and guns in my pocket Come on Man
You’re lying!!!! You deserve jail time!!
He was running to get to the Capitol? He was running to get away from the crime scene. Lmao
See the spin.....now, we are the idiots ..the building code people should have never put a fire alarm on that wall.....they made me pull it.
Jan 6 victims said the same. Yet they r locked up😢
Because what they did was worse by orders of magnitude
Is he admitting he’s illiterate and doesn’t know how to read “fire alarm”?
What a liar.
That's intentional.
Still telling lies to the public.
He's a full-on liar.
Come on Jamal the white letters says FIRE
If this charge is dismissed, then all charges should be dismissed on Trump.
It wasn't
Plea Deal. He got 3 months probation and a $1000 fine. Justice was not served.
@@calvinhobbes6118 His penalty for the crime proves the democrat are controlling the Justice System there.
Stop it bowman. You did the same thing, even worst.
If he was REPUBLICAN it would have been a different outcome!!!
Double standard
The reporter at 2:03 is fine as hell.
Liar... Liar... Pants on Fire....
At least, he wasn't trying to overthrow our government like the January 6th insurrectionist... maybe he was just on a tour and accidentally touched the fire alarm 😂
MAGA MAGA Trump Trump Trump MAGA Coming for your Vote🎉
No, they don't wanna count my vote. I believe in our elections and our entire Constitution.
