BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – “Squad” Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York refused to answer questions from a reporter as to why his story changed after he pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court on charges that he illegally pulled a House office building fire alarm.
“Mr. Bowman, why did you plead guilty to knowingly pulling that fire alarm, when you said you didn’t know it?” CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju asked Bowman in an exchange that he posted on X, formerly Twitter. “You initially told us that you didn’t know it was a fire alarm.”
“Why are you still talking about this, man?” Bowman said back. “Why is anyone at CNN confronting me about this? I’m a democrat. And I thought the unwritten rule was for your network to either not cover this story, or figure out a way to blame the republicans for my behavior. So stop trying to audition for Fox News at my expense!”
