On Saturday, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., a socialist member of "The squad" in Congress, appeared to be channeling Savio as he pulled a fire-alarm lever in a congressional office building that nearly shut down the function of our sacred temple of democracy, as some have called the U.S. Capitol.
Something else to keep in mind is that before he became an elected official, Bowman was a teacher and middle school principal in the Bronx, New York.
Did Bowman simply copy the old middle school fire alarm trick? In most such instances, a student caught pulling that prank would face serious consequences.
"And, of all people, Jamaal Bowman knows the old fire alarm trick, because he was a high school principal. And quite frankly, when he was the high school principal, there were serious ramifications if a student were to do that including expulsion."
Malliotakis said she would introduce a resolution to expel Bowman from Congress.
Expelling Bowman would require a two-thirds vote in the House.
"Will Congressman [Jamaal] Bowman be prosecuted and imprisoned for very dangerously pulling and setting off the main fire alarm system in order to stop a Congressional vote that was going on in D.C.," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
