It doesn’t matter. Not only is it only going to be covered for 5 minutes, no one is going to vote based on this issue. Democrats can literally ignore it.
I don’t think what Bowman did was smart, but giving ammo to Republicans genuinely doesn’t matter. Republicans are currently trying to impeach Biden for literally nothing. If you act perfectly and give them no ammo, then they’ll just straight-up make up bullshit instead.
This is nothing. The immediate association is “something a kid does to get out of a test”. I fucking welcome them going all in on the grave offense of pulling a fire alarm so they could actually read the legislation. PLEASE Republicans, publicize the shit out of this.
Imagine what Republicans will say if he doesn’t get any response at all.
What are Republicans saying about the fact that Trump is a fraudster and a rapist, that MTG spreads the most idiotic anti-semitic conspiracy theories and that Bobert gets tossed out of a theater for smoking, hollering, getting her boobs grabbed and giving a guy a hand job? What are Republicans saying about the fact George Santos is an obvious liar, huckster and fraud who has been charged with fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and making false statements?
What response did that get from Republicans - as compared to, say, the response Al Franken got from Democrats?
And where’s the benefit for Democrats in acting in good faith when dealing with an opponent that doesn’t even know the meaning of the term “good faith?”

It doesn’t matter what they say. They are going to say something negative about Democrats either way.
This is actually good because they can focus on this minor issue, blow it out of proportion, and look like idiots. Democrats should just respond with:
“He was pulling the alarm to wake up the Republican leadership. Our government needs to be funded as fast as possible.”

I can confirm, this doesn’t change my vote. It’ll be a non-story.
