Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) office circulated a memo of talking points to House Democratic communications directors on how to respond to questions about him pulling a fire alarm, where they referred to some in the House Republican Conference as “Nazi members.”
In a memo posted on social media by Punchbowl News, which the Washington Examiner verified, Bowman’s communication director circulated a list of talking points to fellow House Democrats on how they can defend Bowman when asked about his fire alarm controversy.On Saturday, while Democrats were trying to delay a vote on the continuing resolution, Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building.
“I was rushing to make a vote, I was trying to get through a door, I thought the alarm would open a door,” Bowman said. “I believe Congressman Bowman when he says this was an accident. Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else,” one of the talking points read.
"I just became aware that in our messaging guidance, there was inappropriate use of the term Nazi without my consent," Bowman said in a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter."I condemn the use of the term Nazi out of its precise definition. It is important to specify the term Nazi to refer to members of the Nazi party & neo-Nazis."
