Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday after the far-right lawmaker went on a lengthy tirade about Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol Hill building earlier this year.
The House voted to censure Bowman on Thursday over the September incident, which he has said was an accident.
In a rant on the chamber floor urging colleagues to vote for his censure, Greene had accused him of triggering the alarm on purpose to try to block a vote on short-term government funding legislation, comparing Bowman to people whove been criminally charged over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
He was intentionally playing his part to obstruct an official proceeding. By the way, this is the same thing that has been used against Jan. 6 defendants, Greene said.
