Fire drill enthusiast Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) set off some alarm bells on Monday, telling a CNN panel that President Joe Biden must use his pardon power on every death row inmate in the country.

Bowman first stunned CNN anchor Abby Phillip by referring to the prosecution of Hunter Biden as a "witch hunt" in justifying the pardoning of the First Son.

"It was a witch hunt, to begin with," the outgoing congressman defended, seemingly a confirmation of President-elect Donald Trump's assertions that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is corrupt.

He also defended the president's move by saying a pardon for one's own son is to be expected, then added that the DOJ under Trump would allegedly target Hunter. Which is a super-odd hot take when you consider he just admitted Biden's DOJ targeted Hunter.

That's when Bowman pivoted to his next grand idea, saying, "Let me also add ... add one thing.”

The "one thing" was a doozy.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman says President Biden must use his pardon power for death row inmates:

“Don‘t stop at Hunter Biden," Bowman demanded. "Pardon the 40 people who are on death row right now to get them off of death row, number one."

"Number two, pardon the 3,000 people who are in federal jail for trumped-up marijuana charges; pardon them as well, so they can get back to their communities and contribute to their economies," he added. "That‘s what the president should do.”

The second half of that statement is a separate argument. Let's focus on the federal death row inmates he is suggesting are deserving of a pardon.

One such individual is Robert Gregory Bowers, the man who, on October 27, 2018, walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in a Pittsburgh suburb and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle on the congregation. He killed 11 people and wounded six others when all was said and done.

Pardon that guy, Jamaal?

Bowman also appears to be seeking a pardon for a man who committed one of the most heinous racially-motivated mass shootings in the country's history in Dylann Roof.

Roof, motivated by racial hatred, murdered nine African-American churchgoers during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015.

He gets a pardon in Bowman's world.

Look, we all know, based on the fire alarm stunt, that the New York Democrat isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. But he now shares common cause with another Squad member, Cori Bush (D-MO). Bush has argued that President Biden should grant clemency to those on death row.

“If [Biden] truly opposes the death penalty,” she wrote in an op-ed for Time Magazine, “he must do everything in his power to stop it for good. Granting clemency to all on federal death row is his most effective tool.”

Perhaps none of this should be surprising. Bowman, after all, as a school principal, once had convicted cop killer Joanne Chesimard (aka Assata Shakur) hanging on his middle school's "Wall of Fame."

Jamaal Bowman owes all of law enforcement an apology. Joanne Chesimard is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list for assassinating one NJ State Trooper and shooting and injuring another.

Shakur was named to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list under Barack Obama in 2013. She was convicted in the 1973 killing of a New Jersey state trooper but later escaped from prison and fled to Cuba.

Democrats are always seemingly siding with criminals. Bowman is no different. That kind of ridiculous behavior is what led to him and Bush being soundly defeated in their primaries.

Good riddance.
