*A Senate HELP Committee hearing descended into chaos Tuesday as Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), a former Mixed Martial Arts fighter, challenged Teamster boss Sean O’Brien to a physical fight during the latter’s testimony. Mullin read aloud a June post by O’Brien: “Quit the tough guy act in these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, Anytime cowboy.” Mullin followed it up by saying, “This is a time, this is a place. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.” “OK that’s fine, perfect,” O’Brien replied. “You wanna do it now?” Mullin said. “Would love to do it right now,” O’Brien replied. “Well stand your butt up then,” Mullin said. “You stand your butt up,” O’Brien replied. Mullin then stood up, moved away from his seat and reached for his wedding band until Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) intervened. “No, no, sit down,” Sanders screamed at Mullin, appearing to narrowly avert a brawl between the two. “You know you’re a United States senator, act like it.”*
Looks like juvenile behavior isn’t limited to GOP members of the House of Representatives only today.
Screw the GOP
“I can’t beat your argument with words, so I’ll beat you, proving I was right!” -The always stupid method of losers thinking beating someone proves them right.
This should be shared in every Union forum ,subreddit, twitter page, etc.
Republicans are petulant children.
Churlish
Mullins is the kind of guy who’d get his butt kicked then call the cops.
Like what the hell? Let’s have a “kiddies table” ready for Mullin to sit at next Senate hearing if he can’t behave like an adult (note to “the Schum” to use wrasslin vernacular).
When your grandpa Sanders has to scold you like an 8 year old on live television…
this is the second time dude has done this
Phony tough and the crazy brave republican turds
The party of law and order
And McCarthy today purposefully elbowing a Congress person in the back in the hallway. It’s boiling over, isn’t it.
Love Bernie shut that down lol what a shit show.
Government about to shut down and this is what they spend their time on, schoolyard bickering.
gj Bernie- bring the shame.
Markwayne is a coward. Why not go to a picket line and call out Sean or any number of public appearances he makes? Why try to act tough when there is a room full of people between them. If anything he just proved that he is all talk and it is a tough guy act.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. – asimov
The GOP hate workers rights. They hate working class people. End of.
Markwayne? The man with conjoined two first names who accidentally admitted to laundering money from his private company during a hearing with a Union Boss? Where’s that investigation?
I can’t with this shit man. I’m so done with all you dumb motherfuckers voting for this shit. Pathetic embarrassment of fake masculinity.
> “No, no, sit down,” Sanders **screamed** at Mullin
Yeah, that wasn’t screaming. Did he raise his voice? Maybe a little. But it certainly wasn’t *screaming*. He made himself heard, and he didn’t lose his cool. He didn’t get hysterical about it.
“Hold me back bro hold me back” what a clown show
Couldn’t have a female president because she’d be too emotional, right GOP?
I mean, I personally wouldn’t fuck with the president of the teamsters..
Every story is the same: The only path to power for fascists is through lies, crime and violence.
Yet again Bernie is the adult in the room
> “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”
You can move the trash out of the trailer, but the stink still remains. Right senator…
“When I was building my plumbing company myself.”
This guy inherited his Dad’s plumbing business when he was 20.
A union boss named O’Brien? Yeah, he gonna be down to fist fight a senator. You gonna pay your dues…
> “You know you’re a United States senator, act like it.”
It’s a mistake assuming that means anything to him. He’s a Republican first and foremost, he’d rather “win” for his team than actually try and improve life for the American people.
For context about the “self-made” claims, he inherited his family plumbing business at age 20.
You really want to pick a fight with an Irish teamster union boss named OBrian?
That man will throw you in the east river and no one will care
I like how he says he was a self-made man. Then, you find out this about him.
“at age 20, Mullin took over his father’s business, Mullin Plumbing, …”
Republicans give absolutely zero f*cks about the working class. Ever since Reagan and the “states’ rights” crowd conned the middle class into supporting them by blaming blacks for being “welfare queens” and takers. Go look up productivity gains vs wages. You’ll find that 1976 is the time frame when the middle class started it’s long descent into poverty. But go ahead and believe the ‘tax and spend’ Democrats are the problem. Guys like Mullins aren’t even necessarily Nazis. They just straight up want to establish an invincible oligarchy because they assume the Republican leaders’ hands will be filled with payola.
Over Twitter. He’s trying to fight in congress because someone was mean to him on Twitter. Is he a child?
If Mullins is the best OK can send to the Senate maybe we should just dissolve Oklahoma.
Check out the footage of him during the insurrection. He’s a total wimp. He is the kind of guy that prob hits his wife to feel tough
MarkWAYNE wants to fight a fucking teamster…. Bwahahahahah, good luck with that. A group of people notoriously tough and scrap happy. The phrase “fuck around and find out” was coined for occasions such as this.
Trying to pick a fight with the Teamsters president seems like a good way to get poured into a stadium or something along those lines…
1. This redneck tries to fight a witness.
2. McCarthy throws a “kidney elbow” into an unsuspecting colleague.
3. Trump encouraging his followers to do a “citizens arrest” of his enemies.
Quite a day. And yeah… it feels like things are starting to slide downhill pretty quickly.
Republicans and violence. Is there a more iconic duo?
EDIT: Lol. Found some pics of Mr. Tough Fight Guy.
Here’s some advice for Mr Mullin
The 2 groups of people you should not challenge to a fistfight in a bar =
Teamster presidents and Irish truck drivers from Boston , Mass.
Your 2 for 2 on this one
As someone who’s been in a few scuffles in his life… people who actively want to fight don’t actually call people out like this — on either side. They’ll run up on you and start swinging. There’s no buildup.
This is posturing. Could it *lead* to a fight? Sure. But it’s mostly just two dudes checking each other to no real purpose.
This is the second near fight, the other were allegations McCarthy elbowed someone. It seems the republicans are self-destructing.
I didn’t have Bernie Sanders breaking up a potential fist fight in a senate hearing on my bingo card for today.
Judging by bus cauliflower ear, bro has been dealing with a scrambled brain and poor impulse control for quite awhile.
Our so called representatives really don’t like us unionizing. This speaks volumes.
