House Speaker Mike Johnson is wasting no time putting his authority to work over Democratic colleagues who behave as if the rules of civilian life don’t apply to them.
The lower body on Wednesday adopted a resolution officially censuring Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for unlawfully pulling a fire alarm during an October session in order to delay a vote on a possible government shutdown. Bowman, who originally denied culpability and blamed the mishap on looking for a door handle, was hit with criminal charges and later surrendered to Washington, D.C. police.
Video from C-SPAN captured the final tally of a full session in which both Democrats and Republicans came out to support or oppose their colleague’s nefarious actions, respectfully. Speaker Johnson reported on the final tally.
“On this vote the yeas are 214, the nays are 191… with five present. The resolution is adopted,” Johnson said before allowing for a motion to reconsider.
