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.
Why? Cause he wanted to read the bill before voting on it. Republicans forced it through and overrode the minimum amount of time to read it. Sure, 72 hours would be problematic, but they didn’t even want to give them a handful of hours.
In the end, he voted yes. Some guy also had to talk for 52 minutes straight to try and give them time to read the bill to ensure nothing bad was snuck in.
Goddamm it Republicans and their bullshit. But why did a Democrat do this? How stupid. But comparing it Jan 6th is just fucking stupid.

He did it because the Republicans were trying to rush a vote without giving anyone enough time to actually read what was being voted on.
