“I was trying to get to a door. I thought the alarm would open the door, and I pulled the fire alarm to open the door by accident. I was just trying to get to my vote and the door that’s usually open wasn’t open, it was closed.”; -House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries either making an unconvincing excuse for pulling a fire alarm ahead of a critical vote or unintentionally exposing he's either a dumbass or illiterate. “This should not go without punishment; this is an embarrassment. You are elected to be a member of Congress. You pulled a fire alarm, in a (matter) of hours before the government being shut down, trying to dictate that the government would shut down?”; -Kevin McCarthy conveniently, hypocritically overlooking all the foot-dragging and open declarations of intent to shut down the government coming from his own party.
