Republicans Call for Democrat's Expulsion After Fire Alarm Incident, Says Jamaal Bowman

US congressional Republicans have proposed the expulsion of Democrat Jamaal Bowman, accusing him of pulling a fire alarm to delay an important vote. Bowman claims he triggered the alarm by mistake while rushing to make a vote. The New York lawmaker disavowed talking points circulated by his office that referred to his Republican critics as "Nazis." Capitol police are currently investigating the incident. The fire alarm led to the evacuation of the Cannon House Office Building, which houses multiple House of Representatives lawmakers. Washington law considers pulling a fire alarm without cause a criminal offense. Following the confirmation of Bowman's involvement, Republicans launched their own investigation, with Speaker Kevin McCarthy condemning the action. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, backed by 12 other Republicans, has introduced a resolution to expel Bowman from Congress. Bowman apologized for the confusion caused by the incident and denied any intention to delay the vote. Politico also shared a memo from Bowman's office asking fellow Democrats to defend him, which included calling Republicans "Nazis." Bowman denounced the use of the term without his consent and clarified its proper definition. Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds majority, a challenging threshold in the currently Republican-controlled chamber.
