Former President Donald Trump has joined in discussion over Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-N.Y.) recent fire alarm incident, describing it as more concerning than the 2021 Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, when some Trump supporters trespassed onto restricted government grounds to protest the certifying of the 2020 election amid calls for investigations into election fraud.

On Sept. 30 ahead of a House vote on a government funding bill, Mr. Bowman pulled the fire alarm on a door at the Cannon House Office while his fellow Democrats were attempting to postpone the vote during the House proceedings.
