House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called for Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., to be punished after he pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building on Saturday, comparing it to the Jan 6 rioters who attacked the building.
"When you think about how other people were treated when they come in and wanted to change the course of what was happening in the building," McCarthy said.
McCarthy went on to say that the Ethics Committee should take the pulled fire alarm "seriously."
"This should not go without punishment," McCarthy said. “I’m gonna have a discussion with the Democratic leader about it. But this should not go without punishment. This is an embarrassment.”
