Excellent representative of the Democrats.
Bowman camp plays ‘Nazi’ card in fire alarm incident defense
Washington Examiner | Oct 2, 2023 | Reese GormanRep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) office circulated a memo of talking points to House Democratic communications directors on how to respond to questions about him pulling a fire alarm, where they referred to some in the House Republican Conference as “Nazi members.”
In a memo posted on social media by Punchbowl News, which the Washington Examiner verified, Bowman’s communication director circulated a list of talking points to fellow House Democrats on how they can defend Bowman when asked about his fire alarm controversy.
On Saturday, while Democrats were trying to delay a vote on the continuing resolution, Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building. He told the Washington Examiner that he was trying to get through a door and pulled the fire alarm to do so.
Some House Republicans have claimed that Bowman’s intention in pulling the fire alarm was to delay the vote, a claim Bowman said was “BS.”…..
Bowman later had to apologize for using the term Nazi in the memo, saying it was used without his knowledge.
“I just became aware that in our messaging guidance, there was inappropriate use of the term Nazi without my consent,” Bowman said in a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. “I condemn the use of the term Nazi out of its precise definition. It is important to specify the term Nazi to refer to members of the Nazi party & neo-Nazis.”
