Also he was a school principal. Probably more relevant here than his PhD.

I just think he did it because he’s not very bright.

No amount of repeating this will convince them.

It’s not a matter of convincing anyone when the GOP is deliberately parroting misinformation.


So you really think he’s that stupid that he thinks pulling a fire alarm will open a door? Or that he thinks a vote is important enough to use an emergency exit which is clearly designated as such?

Why do you have such low standards for him?


If it wasn't a mistake as he claims, what do you think he was trying to do? Please make sure that your answer requires the high standards you apparently expect of him.
I don’t know but I know if I tried to use an emergency exit in a non emergency and then pulled a fire alarm I would be in serous trouble


By your own admission, you have no idea what he was trying to do but you are sure the he is lying. I am not sure that is particularly sharp analysis.



The fire alarm was clearly marked fire

What “serious trouble” do you think you’d be in?


It would go on your PERMANENT RECORD.

Oh yeah?

This is nbd. I'm surprised this thread has gone on this long. It's not like he was wearing a tan suit.

By your own admission, you have no idea what he was trying to do but you are sure the he is lying. I am not sure that is particularly sharp analysis.
so you will ignore he used an emergency exit, clearly labelled in a non emergency and pulled the fire alarm? How low will you sink to defend someone merely because they are of your political party?


Nobody has disputed that the door is regularly used by Members of Congress during the week. The sign on the door looks like it is just resting on the crossbar and it is probably removed during the week. Bowman's explanation that in a rush to vote, he got confused and pulled the alarm, expecting it to open the door. A stupid move which even he admits. But, not a nefarious act.

Yes, accuse me of defending a member of my own party but also consider your eagerness to present this as something it is not. Couldn't I similarly accuse you of partisanship? Again, you can't even come up with an alternative explanation but expect us to agree with you that he is lying.

NP. I believe he was deliberately late and worked with the others to stall the vote


For what purpose? He and all Democrats but one voted in favor of it. The bill passed by a significant margin.

What “serious trouble” do you think you’d be in?


Sorry I stand corrected. I’ve googled it. Texas tried to put an 11 year old in prison for it.

High standards I have for him? The guy has a PhD. I don’t have one and I know to not use emergency exits unless there is an emergency nor do I pull fire alarms unless there is an emergency. I learned this by the time I was 6 or 7.
