AOC Defends Jamaal Bowman and MAGA Wants Him Expelled From Congress

Indicted Republican George Santos, who is currently facing 13 Federal charges, says Jamaal Bowman setting off a fire alarm was “an act of treason” and Bowman should “be held at the full extent of the law” and “face the music.” pic.twitter.com/9tcmnTTMfM

AOC: Bowman released a statement last night, he apologized, and they are protecting someone who has not only committed wire fraud, not only defrauded veterans, not only lied to congressional investigators, but is openly gloating about it pic.twitter.com/5454GC1ogD

And for those of you who are saying, "He should've known better." The sign says, "Push until alarm sounds," but it doesn't say what to push. Someone rushing to vote could quickly get confused and make an honest mistake. Who delays a vote when they are voting yes? pic.twitter.com/fpQkCN6BlR

Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm to disrupt Republican spending bill. Kevin McCarthy compares it to Jan. 6th. Is this fair?

Newsy: Rep. Malliotakis (R-NY) is drafting a resolution to have Rep. Bowman expelled, her spox Natalie Baldassarre tells me.

The disdain with which these Fox News hosts refer to Rep. Jamaal Bowman is striking even for Fox News. In the course of this segment, which ran about 5 minutes, every single host called him “dumb” or “stupid” repeatedly, and one also called him “lazy.”

A reminder that Paul Gosar & MTG attended a Holocaust denier's conference.
Gosar suggested killing Gen. Milley.
Lauren Boebert was caught on camera doing lewd things in an audience filled with kids.
George Santos is under federal indictment.
