Rep. Bowman under investigation for pulling fire alarm as McCarthy compares it to Jan. 6

40. I guess I just have higher standards, and I believe our representatives should have them too.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

When they go low, we go high.

When someone fights their opponents in a cesspool, they end up covered in shit too.

I really don't see any reason to try and justify or excuse his behavior by characterizing it as a harmless "prank". He's an adult. He's an elected Representative. He should know better. We deserve better.

My regard and respect for him has been greatly diminished. I believe that Bowman should seriously consider resigning from office. By doing so, they would demonstrate a willingness to accept the consequences of his actions and send the message that (as I mentioned earlier) we deserves leaders who act with integrity and respect for the democratic process.

He did nobody any favors. Not himself. Not the institution. Not our party. Not the country.
