CNN reporter Manu Raju seemingly raised the ire of “Squad” lawmaker Jamaal Bowman when he questioned why the New York Democrat hadn’t been truthful about pulling a fire alarm in an incident that critics have suggested was meant to delay a congressional vote.

Bowman, as readers of The Political Insider are keenly aware, pulled a clearly marked fire alarm beside an emergency door at the Cannon House Office Building in late September as House members were preparing to vote on a spending bill.

Bowman’s initial statement explained the incident away by saying that he was “urgently” trying to get to the vote and had pulled the alarm thinking it would open the door.

“I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door,” he said. “I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused.”

But Raju pressed the Democrat on why he would “plead guilty to knowingly pulling that fire alarm, when you said you didn’t know it” was a fire alarm.

Bowman recently accepted a plea deal for his actions and will have to pay a $1,000 fine and pen a letter of apology. Upon meeting those conditions, the charges will be dropped.
