The New York Post Editorial Board blasted Democrats and the media in a piece posted Friday morning entitled Jamaal Bowman fire alarm video proves Dems and media were fools for backing him.
From The New York Post:
New video evidence proves Rep. Jamaal Bowman was lying about his fire alarm stunt late last month — and that the lefty New York Democrat deserves (at least!) official censure.
To recap: Bowman was caught on security video Sept. 30 pulling a fire alarm during a high-stakes House vote to continue funding the government and prevent a looming shutdown.Â
Then, after being caught, he lied, claiming he pulled the alarm not to disrupt the vote, but because he somehow thought it would open a door he was trying to get through.
Sure, Jamaal. Who hasn’t made that mistake?
Now, video has emerged on the heels of Bowman’s slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor plea showing the exact opposite.
Bowman walks up to the door, yanks off the emergency exit signs on it, pulls the alarm, and then walks away without trying to get through.
Bowman bet big on a credulous media to swallow his silly lies — and won.

Typical entitled, selfish, prevaricating leftist. https://t.co/j33bHe4ZA0

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says what Bowman did is not worthy of a censure.
