Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Picture of Sen. Markwayne Mullin hid behind the chairs from insurrectionists during January 6 goes viral as video of him trying to physically fight Teamsters boss, Sean O’Brien, during in a hearing.
Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma challenged the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to a physical fight in a tense moment during a Senate hearing on Tuesday.
The confrontation occurred during a hearing on labor unions in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Sean O’Brien, the head of one of the nation’s largest and most influential unions, was appearing as a witness.
After Mullin stood up and some gasps filled the room, Sanders immediately told Mullin to sit down, reiterating that he is a U.S. senator.
Following the altercation, Mullin was reportedly asked how the situation escalated to potential physical blows.
“I didn’t try to fight anyone, he called me out,” Mullin said, according to the Huffington Post’s Igor Bobic. “You don’t call me out…and not back it up with what you said.”
“I appreciate your demeanor today. It’s quite different. But after you left here, you got pretty excited about the keyboard. In fact, you tweeted at me, one, two, three, four, five times,” Mullin said, holding up printed out versions of O’Brien’s posts on X. Mullin read one of O’Brien’s posts aloud, in which he called Mullin a “greedy CEO,” a “clown” and a “fraud.”
“‘You know where to find me. Any time, any place, cowboy.’ Sir, this is a time. This is a place,” Mullin said, pointing the floor in between the dais and the witness table. “If you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.”
O’Brien replied: “OK, that’s fine. Perfect.”
“You want to do it now?” Mullin asked. Since that meeting, O’Brien had posted five separate times about Mullin on X, formerly Twitter, according to the senator. The last post reportedly referred to Mullin as “a greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self-made.”
The post also encouraged Mullin, of Oklahoma, to “quit the tough guy act” during Senate hearings, adding, “You know where to find me, any place, anytime, cowboy.”
“Sir, this is a time, this is a place,” Mullin told O’Brien. “You wanna run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults; we can finish it here.”
