Jamaal Bowman for Pulling Fire Alarm \u200bDuring Government Shutdown Vote<\/h2>\n<p>House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/kevin-mccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kevin McCarthy<\/a> (R-CA) strongly criticized \u200dRep.\u2064 Jamaal Bowman \u2063(D-NY) on\u200b Saturday afternoon after Bowman pulled a \u2062fire alarm in the House Cannon office \u2063building. The incident \u2063occurred while lawmakers \u200cwere trying to pass a stopgap bill to\u200c avert a\u200c U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-congressman-makes-case-for-why-we-should-not-fear-a-government-shutdown\/\" title=\"GOP Congressman Argues Against Fear of Government Shutdown\">government\u200c shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman&#8217;s action caused \u200ban\u2063 evacuation\u200d of the building as House Democrats were attempting to delay a vote on a GOP short-term\u200c spending bill. As \u2062a\u200c former school principal, Bowman claimed that he thought \u2063the alarm\u200c would open the door.<\/p>\n<p>Following the successful passage\u2062 of a bill to \u2064keep the government open for the next 45 days, McCarthy addressed the matter at a press conference. He expressed his belief that the House Ethics committee should investigate the incident, \u200cemphasizing the seriousness of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy \u2063stated, &#8220;When you think of how other people are treated when they wanted to come in and change the course of what was happening in this building&#8230; I&#8217;m going\u2063 to have a\u200d discussion with the Democratic \u200cleader\u2064 about it.\u200b But this should \u2064not go without punishment. This is\u200b an embarrassment. You&#8217;re elected to be \u2064a member \u200dof Congress. You pulled the fire alarm&#8230; hours\u2064 before the government being shut down, trying to dictate that the government would shut down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expressing his disbelief, McCarthy questioned, &#8220;What&#8217;s going through a person&#8217;s mind like that? But we will find the\u2063 right \u2064ability to deal with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE \u200bTO\u200d GET THE DAILY WIRE \u2064APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Speaker McCarthy criticized Rep.
