    Pulling fire alarms delaying sessions has consequences.
  • @Sbxallday
    As the Notorious BIG said "DON'T BE MAD UPS IS HIRING" 😂😂😂
  • @janetprice85
    Pulling fire alarms and being a bigot is not a good look.
  • @toogie6267
    His dispicable behavior had ALOT to do with it.
  • @Dblbogey22
    Stupidity had the most to do w/ Bowman’s primary loss.
  • @heinzruedi648
    Adios Bowman…AOC helped getting you booted! Finally.
  • Considering he belongs in prison on the same standards used to intern American patriots, losing his cush job seems inadequate. But like the Terminators, he will no doubt be back.
  • Finally a rebuke of the squad. Tlaib, Omar, Presley, Bush and Crocket next!
  • Goofball acted like a child pulling a fire alarm. His behavior isn't very inspiring.
  • His attempted insurrection, and his buffoonery, is what caused his landslide defeat! 😂😂😂
  • @billbog25
    Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey.....________.
  • Lmao could it be the people dont like him. That whole squad needs to go...isis is now lose in the county so maybe he can get a job with them
  • Almost like it’s a volatile party that’s, with any luck, going to eat itself.
  • @LeoPard-HQ
    They spent 14.5 million 44,371 people's vote
  • YouTube's censorship of comments, particularly on AIPAC-related content, curtails meaningful discourse and stifles public engagement. It's disappointing to see such restrictions on important discussions.
  • His recent behavior without a shadow of a doubt helped also. Showed America who we were truly dealing with. Bush is next. SQUAD OUT
