Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits Republicans for tearing into Jamaal Bowman after he pulled fire alarm [View all]
WASHINGTON Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., chided House GOP lawmakers for not going after embattled Rep. George Santos R-N.Y., with the same voracity they have for her fellow progressive, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., after he pulled a fire alarm in a House office building.
Reacting to GOP calls to expel Bowman from Congress, Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview on CNNs State of the Union, that House Republicans should really check their own values considering Santos, who has been accused of fraud, money laundering and lying to Congress and is still a lawmaker.
They are protecting someone who has not only committed wire fraud, not only defrauded veterans, not only lied to congressional investigators, but is openly gloating about it is absolutely humiliating to the Republican caucus and I think that they should really check their own values, Ocasio-Cortez said.
While House Democrats on Saturday were delaying a vote on a short-term stopgap resolution to avoid a government shutdown to read the bills text, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House office building.
