The fire alarm, which Bowman's office suggested was unintentional, came as Democrats were trying to delay a vote after Republicans rushed to pass the stopgap measure.
If the representative did intentionally pull the alarm, especially to delay the vote, by all means give him some reasonable consequences for that. More than a few votes get rushed through, but you can always just vote no on bills there has been inadequate time to have read. No need to disrupt congress and make a potentially dangerous situation.
Huge eye roll on the childish comparison to Jan 6th though. Not even close and McCarthy knows it. Grow up.
It’s really not that simple. That would be a Republican wet dream to be able to market the Dems that shut down the government with a no vote on spending bill.
How so? Democrats already voted no on the shitty Republican fantasy spending bill just the other day. All they have to say is “They wanted us to vote on this bill without being able to even read it.” and I don’t think the Republican argument would hold up outside of the people who would be mad no matter what.
How is this story remotely comparable to shutting down the government? Most people who even hear about this incident will forget about it before the day is over.

As opposed to marketing this?

How so? Republicans control the House.
A government shutdown would disrupt a lot more than the fire alarm. That’s the consequence of Dems voting no on a bill they didn’t read.
