Bowman sought to &#8220;personally\u200b clear \u2064up \u200dconfusion&#8221; and extinguish \u200dthe controversy. To this end, Rep. Bowman \u2064released an official \u200cstatement where \u200che claimed \u200bthat he &#8220;mistakenly&#8221;\u2064 activated \u2063the fire alarm &#8220;thinking it would open the door.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>However, [Office of Congressional Ethics] staff obtained evidence appearing to contradict Rep.

Jamaal Bowman, it is encouraging \u2064to see that he has distanced himself from the conspiracy theories he once promoted.\u2061 However, it is a reminder that our \u200belected officials must be vigilant in their\u2064 pursuit of\u2063 truth and \u2062fact-based decision-making.\u2060 We\u200c cannot afford to\u2064 have leaders \u200cwho endorse or propagate \u200cfalsehoods that undermine our democracy and the principles it is founded upon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving forward, it is \u2062our collective responsibility to\u2063 demand transparency, accountability, and truth from our\u2062 elected representatives.\u2064 We must hold\u200b them to the highest standards and ensure that they promote evidence-based policies that serve \u200bthe best interests of the American people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we reflect\u200d on the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we must honor the memory of \u200cthe victims by \u200bseeking the truth, promoting unity, and rejecting baseless conspiracy theories that only serve \u2063to divide us.\u2062 \u200dTogether, we can ensure that their legacy is one of resilience, unity, \u2063and\u200b a commitment to \u2064the values that define our nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
