The fire alarm, which Bowman's office suggested was unintentional, came as Democrats were trying to delay a vote after Republicans rushed to pass the stopgap measure.
Then why did he lie and say it was unintentional and he didn’t know it would cause an alarm? If he’d just admitted it and given his reasons I could’ve respected that.
“But I want to be very clear, this was not me, in any way, trying to delay any vote. It was the exact opposite – I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open,” he added."

Plausible deniability. If it was claimed to be an accident there’s no one who can honestly do anything .
I support the given reason for delaying the vote, but that denial was not plausible.
