However, in \u2064this case, \u2063it is warranted. Bowman&#8217;s action not only endangered the lives of\u2064 those in the building but also undermined\u2064 the public&#8217;s trust in its elected officials. Congress should \u200cnot tolerate such behavior from any of its members,\u200d regardless\u200b of their party\u200b affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>Moving\u200d forward, it\u2064 is crucial for the House Ethics Committee to\u2064 thoroughly investigate the incident and recommend appropriate disciplinary actions.

Expulsion from Congress is a necessary step in holding Bowman accountable\u200b and\u200b maintaining \u200bthe integrity of our democratic institutions. The\u200d House Ethics Committee should conduct a \u2063thorough investigation and recommend appropriate disciplinary actions to ensure that such \u2064behavior is not \u200btolerated\u2062 in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are calling for consequences, possibly expulsion, for Democratic Rep.
