## Transcript

Continue. Thank you. Mr. Speaker on September 30th as the House of Representatives met to consider legislation to avoid a government shutdown rappers. Coleman of New York knowingly, pull the fire alarm to cause chaos and stop the house from doing its business. This is a felony plain and simple it's not difficult to understand Capitol Police was forced to waste resources investigating rather than doing their job to keep the capital safe uscp determine Bollman broke the law and he was indicted by the Attorney General of the District of Columbia. Realizing no number of excuses could get him out of this Mister Bowman plead guilty the Republican majority held our own former member accountable after the house Ethics Committee found engaged in criminal Behavior.

It would be hypocritical for the house Democrats to not join us in holding one of their own members accountable who actually plead guilty to Breaking the Law. It's painfully obvious to myself my colleagues in the American people that the Republican party is deeply unserious and unable to legislate their censure resolution against me today continues to demonstrate their inability to govern and serve the American people. The legal process on this matter has played out in no way did I obstruct official proceedings the vote took place and Democrats were able to ensure we avoid to the government shutdown.

Unfortunately Republicans are here trying to rehash an already litigated matter a matter in which the republican-controlled house committee on ethics decided not to proceed with any further investigation. This is an insult to the people. I was elected to represent and set the passing meaningful legislation for the American people. Some Republicans are using a sensor to waste our time and money and to try and make you forget about all of the rights. They want to destroy the trying to make you forget. They want to take away your Reproductive Rights your voting rights your Healthcare your Social Security and your Medicare On this boat that yeas are 214 the Nazar 191.

The resolution is with five present. The resolution is adopted without objection. The motion to reconsider is laid on the table. By its adoption of house resolution 914 the house has resolved that the House of Representatives censure is Jamaal Bowman representative from the 16th congressional district of New York that represent of Jamaal Bowman forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure and that represent of Jamaal Bowman be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the speaker.
