<p>The GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> voted on Thursday to censure Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building in September when there was not an emergency.</p>
<p>Three Democrats joined with the majority of Republicans to approve the resolution, making for a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">final tally of 214-191</a>. Five other members, including one Republican, voted &#8220;present,&#8221; while 23 lawmakers did not vote.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are a nation of laws, and when someone breaks those laws, they deserve to be held accountable. Today, the House censured Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm to obstruct the work of Congress,&#8221; Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), who <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLisaMcClain/status/1732150557026943352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> the censure resolution, <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLisaMcClain/status/1732812921837637859" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post to X</a>. &#8220;Actions have consequences, and no one is above the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the outcome, Bowman appeared to be in good spirits, smiling and hugging fellow Democrats who gathered around him on the House floor.</p>

<p>Bowman, a former middle school principal and member of the leftist &#8220;Squad,&#8221; faced controversy after pulling a fire alarm that resulted in a temporary evacuation of the Cannon House Office Building in late September ahead of a government spending vote.</p>
<p>A criminal probe ensued, and Bowman eventually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-congressman-pleads-guilty-to-pulling-capitol-fire-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took a plea deal</a> on a misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm. Bowman apologized for his actions but denied that he pulled the fire alarm as a delay tactic, as <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1732547979448390112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some have alleged</a>. The House Ethics Committee later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-ethics-declines-probe-into-bowman-over-false-fire-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declined</a> to investigate Bowman over the incident.</p>

<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, Republicans are here trying to rehash an already litigated matter, a matter in which the Republican-controlled House committee of ethics decided to not proceed with any further investigation,&#8221; Bowman <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1732537265262362934" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during debate on the censure resolution after a motion to table the measure from the Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-advances-resolution-to-censure-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed</a> on Wednesday. &#8220;This is an insult to the people I was elected to represent,&#8221; he added.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 NEW FOOTAGE: Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman removes warning signs before pulling the fire alarm in a House office building last month <a href="https://t.co/dhwOQN2G6y">pic.twitter.com/dhwOQN2G6y</a></p>
<p>&mdash; RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1717626120428802280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Bowman has already faced <a href="https://twitter.com/MetaResist/status/1732664772154564879" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accountability</a> and argued that the House GOP&#8217;s latest censure effort was <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1732551648277381142" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;worthless.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>The trio of Democrats who voted in favor of censuring Bowman — Reps. Jahana Hayes (D-CT), Chris Pappas (D-NH), and Marie Gluesenkamp (D-WA) — all reportedly come from <a href="https://twitter.com/JoshKraushaar/status/1732810978100912636" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swing districts</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, Representative Bowman broke the law &#8230; the resolution was a straightforward condemnation of his actions, and I voted yes,&#8221; Pappas said in a statement <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1732807590986363303" target="_blank" rel="noopener">given to Axios</a>.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://twitter.com/MicaSoellnerDC/status/1732813435887350191" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punchbowl News reporter said</a> Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), the sole Republican to vote &#8220;present,&#8221; explained his stance as, &#8220;We should have had an Ethics Committee investigation into this just like we did on someone who wasn’t actually convicted of a criminal offense.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bowman is now the <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Discipline/Expulsion-Censure-Reprimand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27th member of the House</a> to be censured, which is essentially a formal rebuke and a less severe form of punishment than expulsion. Other House members who have been censured this year include Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-censure-adam-schiff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Schiff (D-CA)</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI).</p>
<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Santos</a> (R-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facing-expulsion-vote-santos-moves-to-remove-bowman-from-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved</a> to force a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> vote to expel Bowman last week, but the embattled New York Republican got expelled the next day. His expulsion followed the release of a scathing House Ethics Committee <a href="https://punchbowl.news/isc-santos-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>. Santos also faces 23 federal charges — including aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, and conspiracy — to which he has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/27/politics/george-santos-plea/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded not guilty</a>.</p>
