The biggest debate on Capitol Hill Wednesday played out in a hallway – not the House floor. After voting wrapped up, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat, was just getting started.
"They're all cowards! They won't do anything to save the lives of our children. Cowards," Bowman said to reporters assembled outside the House chamber. "They're gutless." Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, started to walk by and asked Bowman what he was talking about. "I'm talking about gun violence!" Bowman shouted.

I used to live in Rep. Massie’s district and I can tell you THAT’S one of the safest places around, when it comes to gun violence, it’s pretty much non-existent. Different world in rural Kentucky…
Not much of a match, there was a clear winner.
He might think about entering a hog calling match.
One shouted cliched, canned statements. The other spoke calmly. How was this a shouting match?
Jamaal Bowman ‘ ‘ ‘turns off the comments’ ‘ ‘ on his recent videos.
That means he pushes misinformation and can’t be trusted.
Stay classy, Bowman
Easy to see which side is rational
Logic and common sense getting shouted down by emotion driven misinformation.
If JBowman cared even a little compared to how much he cares about himself, his image, his deluded opinions and his apathetic rhetoric, people in NY might have the representation they need. Pathetic attitude. SMH
not a shouting match, massie is trying to explain his point logically, bowman is screaming about an emotional response.
VOTE!
Bet he has armed security
Paid by taxpayers of course
Massie talked. Jamal screamed. You’re misinforming
Jamaal Bowman is the guy that wants Tik Tok to stay in the United States!! Dude is a big mouth and needs to go!
Wow, Brown is a crazy person. Acting lime a 3 year old having a temper tantrum while pretty much everything he said is inaccurate.
Sorry, Bowman not Brown
I’ve lost count, exactly how many mass shootings in 2023? Probably the time to be heard, especially from a former principal of a school in the Bronx vs someone who never worked a day in a school.
Yeah. Par for the course from that side
It’s not a shouting match if only one person is shouting
When your argument is weak and without merit, just get louder and in their face. That always proves your point.
Ban the guns? What about the knives, forks, slingshots, hatchets , or even rocks? Want to ban them too?
Yes Thomas Massey when will you do something? When will you address the root of the problem? Poor parenting! Make less criminals, less crime. Pretty simple, or you can keep blame shifting.
BOW🤡
Ah yes Americans
