New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman was recently arrested by the Capitol police after ignoring orders from them during a protest.
Isn’t it fascinating how most of the media completely ignored this story?
Do you think they would have looked the other way if it was a Trump supporting conservative? Not a chance.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Dem Congressman Arrested After Defying Orders From Capitol Police
Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York was arrested outside of the U.S. Capitol building after disobeying orders from Capitol Police on three different occasions, the law enforcement agency said.
Capitol Police arrested Bowman on Thursday after the New York Democrat protested outside Congress in support of his party’s failed election reform package. Bowman and a handful of other activists blocked a Capitol barricade and refused to move after police gave them three warnings, the department said in a statement.
Bowman was one of 27 arrested for violating both Capitol Police regulations and District of Columbia law barring crowds from obstructing a passageway after being ordered to disburse by police, a misdemeanor punishable by 90 days in prison.
Bowman’s failure to follow Capitol Police instructions comes roughly a year after the Democrat assailed Republicans who “disregard Capitol security,” which he called “bullshit.” Democrats have attacked Republicans relentlessly for their unwillingness to participate in the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 riots, in which conservative protesters clashed with Capitol Police.

It must be great to be a Democrat. You can basically get away with anything.
Just before 12:00 pm, demonstrators started blocking one side of the North Barricade outside the U.S. Capitol.
We have already issued them three warnings.

We made a total of 27 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307), and one for violating U.S. Capitol Police Traffic Regulation Section 16.3 (Crowd Control).
The demonstration activity is all clear.

Will there be a new Congressional investigation over this? Just kidding.
