Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts plea deal with Bowman over fire alarm episode

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., blasted the recent plea deal reached by Rep. Jamaal Bowman over his pulling the fire alarm during votes for a resolution on U.S. government spending.

"That's not enough," Greene said on the Wednesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "He should be in the D.C. gulag, along with the other people that walked into the Capitol on January 6. Why hasn't the FBI raided his house in the middle of the night?"

A local D.C. court on Wednesday issued a criminal summons to Bowman on the charge of falsely pulling a fire alarm.

Gabriel Shoglow-Rubenstein, a spokesperson for the D.C. attorney general's office confirmed the plea deal and told Axios that Bowman has pleaded guilty and will be paying a fine of $1,000.

"I'd like to know how many years he will rot in jail and have all of his rights denied to him," Greene said. Because isn't the justice system equal?"

When the fire alarm incident first occurred, Greene had called on the Department of Justice to prosecute Bowman. 

"Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon building this afternoon and interrupted the official proceedings of the House as Republicans worked to keep the government open," Greene wrote on X, formerly called Twitter. 

"I’m calling on the DOJ to prosecute him using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants for interfering with an official proceeding," she continued. "The Democrats literally will do anything to shut OUR government down because billions aren’t going to their favorite country: Ukraine."
