Newly released footage that surfaced Thursday proves Democrat House Rep. and “Squad” member Jamaal Bowman lied when he blamed confusion for pulling a fire alarm last month as Congress was in session.
Surveillance video shows Bowman approach two doors and remove two warning signs stating, “Emergency Exit Only Push Until Alarm sounds,” before he reaches for a fire alarm and quickly walks away.
The damning footage contradicts past allegations by Bowman, who in the immediate aftermath of the incident claimed he’d mistakenly tried to go through the doors before believing the fire alarm may open them.
“I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today’s events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open,” read a statement from Bowman’s office last month.
“I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused,” Bowman said, adding that he definitely wasn’t “trying to delay any vote.”
On Thursday, Bowman pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of falsely triggering the fire alarm and agreed to pay a $1,000 fine, in addition to writing an apology note to the Capitol Police and serving three months’ probation.
Following the case’s outcome, Bowman, who was previously a middle school principal, admitted to pulling the alarm and said he hoped Republicans wouldn’t capitalize on the incident.
“I’m thankful for the quick resolution from the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office on this issue and grateful that the United States Capitol Police General Counsel’s office agreed I did not obstruct nor intend to obstruct any House vote or proceedings. I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped,” Bowman stated.
“I think we all know that Republicans will attempt to use this to distract everyone from their mess, but I look forward to putting this behind me and to continue working hard to deliver for New Yorkers,” he said.
According to ABC News, surveillance footage additionally showed Bowman walk right by two Capitol Police officers immediately after pulling the alarm, and did not alert them that he was the one who’d activated it which prompted a mass evacuation during a House vote on a stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown last month.
While he pled guilty, Bowman still appeared to maintain he pulled the alarm by accident in comments Thursday, telling reporters, “I was trying to get out the door. I was rushing to a vote. I’m thankful that we have an agreement in place, and I’m thankful that in three months it’s going to be dismissed. And now let’s move on.”
Following the lenient verdict, many on social media questioned why Bowman, unlike Jan. 6 defendants, hadn’t been charged with obstructing an official proceeding.
Over 300 January 6 defendants have been charged by the feds and given multi-year sentences for obstructing an official government proceeding.
It’s also one of the charges Jack Smith brought against Donald Trump as well.

Indeed, Bowman’s admission of guilt to a minor penalty, while continuing to propagate the claim that he didn’t aim to hinder the vote, doesn’t quite give the sense that justice has been truly delivered.
