The hosts of ABC's "The View" twisted themselves into knots during Monday's
broadcast in an attempt to run defense for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and the
brouhaha surrounding him pulling a fire alarm.

Bowman claimed that he had been confused by a sign labeling the door and
"emergency exit" and warning that an alarm would sound if the door were
opened -- and for that reason, he said he believed pulling the fire alarm on
the wall nearby would cause the door to open.

WATCH:

Racist Sunny Hostin doesn't want to call what Bowman did "a stunt
yet" because there still needs to be an investigation.
She suggests the doors were closed as some sort of plot to keep him
from reading: "The doors...to the chambers to read were somehow
miraculously closed." pic.twitter.com/hBP29aKXLe

[No, stupid, those doors are locked on weekends.]

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin called Bowman out, saying that it appeared as
though he had pulled the fire alarm in an effort to stall the vote -- on the
continuing resolution that would forestall a government shutdown -- so that
he could buy himself more time to read it.

Ana Navarro complained about the Republicans -- President Donald Trump
included -- who have suggested that Bowman deserved to face the same charges
as January 6th defendants ("corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding
an official proceeding, or attempting to do so").

Cohost Sunny Hostin weighed in as well, suggesting that the doors were
"suddenly" closed in an effort to prevent him from having access to the CR in
order to read it.

Whoopi Goldberg said that she would have done the same thing, arguing that he
clearly just wanted to get the door open.

CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME: Whoopi says the "point" is that the door was
closed to prevent Bowman from reading the CR and stop him from
voting:
"I would have pressed whatever I had to press to get the door open
because I know you would expect me not to be there to vote."

Her final assessment appeared to line up with what Hostin had said, and she
reiterated her initial position -- namely that he was being kept from getting
to where he needed to be to vote.

"I would have pressed whatever I had to press to get the door open because I
know you would expect me not to be there to vote," she said.

Bowman remains the subject of two investigations into his actions.

CNN did the same thing. I found their embarrassing coverage of it when I
was trying to find footage of what actually happened. They just showed a
still.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it is still on my list.
