TL;DR Summary

The office of Rep. Jamaal Bowman circulated a memo containing talking points that referred to "Nazi" Republicans, following backlash from GOP colleagues after he pulled a fire alarm in a congressional office building. The memo urged House Democrats to support Bowman's claim that it was an accident, but the inclusion of the term "Nazi" sparked controversy. Bowman expressed regret and disavowed the use of the term. U.S. Capitol Police are investigating the incident, while several Republicans are advocating for Bowman's punishment, including a resolution to expel him from the chamber. House Republican leadership has condemned Bowman's actions and called for an ethics investigation.
