“Speaker Kevin McCarthy called for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) to be punished after he pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building on Saturday, comparing it to the Jan 6 rioters who attacked the building,” NBC News reports.
Said McCarthy: “When you think about how other people were treated when they come in and wanted to change the course of what was happening in the building.
”He added: “This should not go without punishment. I’m gonna have a discussion with the Democratic leader about it. But this should not go without punishment. This is an embarrassment.”
