"Controversy Surrounding Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Fire Alarm Incident and Censure Resolution"

Republican Representative Lisa McClain has introduced a privileged resolution to censure Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional building during a vote on government funding. Bowman admitted to activating the alarm by mistake and has already pleaded guilty to one count of falsely pulling a fire alarm. The resolution comes after former Republican Representative George Santos introduced a resolution to expel Bowman, but was expelled himself before the vote could take place. Republicans allege that Bowman pulled the alarm to delay the funding vote, while Bowman maintains it was unintentional and apologizes for any confusion caused.
