Sen. Markwayne Mullin blamed “political correctness” for the uproar over his attempt to fight a witness during a Senate hearing.
But god fucking forbid Fetterman wears a fucking hoodie.
That would give him an unfair advantage in a fight!
Tbf the hoodie has +3 STR
Mullin has been going on a media tour in the wake of the near-altercation. During an interview with Sean Hannity, the Fox News host reminisced to Mullin about his rough and tumble youth. “I don’t think there was a single day that we were playing sports where we didn’t drop the gloves or, you know, have a brief interlude of, you know, throwing fists and it would be all be over,”
“Emotionally stunted manchild” would have been more succinct.
He didn’t go a day without fighting as a kid? Wtf is wrong with him. That’s psychotic. I had maybe 2 or 3 fights during my entire childhood lol. Maybe he’s just an asshole
He’s lying, and playing that “back in my day we weren’t snowflakes like those liberals are today” card that plays well with fox news audiences.
Doesn’t have to be remotely true, just has to paint a picture that confirms the bias.
Of course when push came to shove to actually confront someone to protect people he hid like a little bitch behind the chairs…
…and now he was waiting for someone to hold him back from his bravado - it ended up being Bernie who couldn’t hold back a feisty kitten if he tried.
But it’s ok this guy learned how to act tough convincingly in wrestling - so he went on the media circus.
He’s playing the terrorist support card. He’s telling his dumbass supporters it’s okay to use violence against union members. And they will do it.
The next time teamsters are striking, see if one of those dumb fucks that love this guy doesn’t try and drive their car through them or do a mass shooting or stab a five year old fifty times.
These are Republicans and as they say, “we are all domestic terrorists.”
“I don’t think there was a single day that we were playing sports where we didn’t drop the gloves or, you know, have a brief interlude of, you know, throwing fists and it would be all be over,”
that’s kinda sad. how toxically broken of a person do you have to be to always throw hands and be around others who indulge the behaviour.
i grew up in the 80s/90s before cameras and yes, most of us were little shits. we would bully and be bullied, but eventually. most of us learned. this guy is bringing an elementary level of emotional control to congress.
i bet you he commiserates every failed relationship he had, in a long winded rant/mental loop jumping tangent where he convinces himself and tries to convince you all his ex lovers were the issue and not him.
What sort of pathetic man-child have the people of Oklahoma sent to represent them?
ha, he is exactly what he represents in the conservative party.
They elected an MMA guy to beat up people that disagree with them.
Now that’s what I call an American Hero
Probably should have elected an MMA fighter without a ticking vascular timebomb in his head then.

“If only daddy didn’t hold me back!”.
Pathetic middle school snowflake.
I don’t care what martial arts you’re mixing up, a teamster is gonna give you trouble.
Did you see that jaw on that teamster? Markwayne has gym muscles.
Is this Republican really bragging about being Bernie’s bitch?

I consider myself progressive thinking, but think about some things you said… freedom of religion of all people is fine to be admired that you allow people to make choices for themselves. I think this is similar to freedom of speech. However, just as you would probably tell someone that spewing hateful racist remarks is a negative behavior and that we are equal, you sort of have to do the same with religion too. I mean, I do think it is right to allow free speech and freedom of religion, but that doesn’t mean you have to give a bigot a microphone or a church tax exemptions. Yes you can build bridges, and advocate for kindness, but if you’re too scared to say as a progressive that most organized religion is not a healthy choice, then you may as well kiss your very own existence bye. You don’t survive in the wild by treating a tiger like a cuddly cat. Also, progressives at least in my mind do not riot. The people at the BLM protests and Floyd protests vandalizing things were not progressives. Progressives are mostly peaceful and it is the forward-thinking educational mindset that will allow you to change the world, not disrupting through chaos.
“We can be two consenting adults and do it right here.”
“Get your butt up”
“I bite. And I don’t care where I bite.”
Quite the Freudian word selection.
Poor guy thinks the only way it’s socially acceptable to touch another man in public is if it’s in the context of a fist fight.
He’s itching to fight everyone because he just can’t walk down Congress’s halls without being carried away by the allure of a testifying witness or a fellow Senator.
Can’t wait for the eventual tell all from his college roommate if he continues to have any time in the spotlight.
He knows the teamsters are sexy motherfuckers and it confused him emotionally.
Markwayne
The name says everything about this clown’s upbringing.

Might makes right.
My might makes me right.
This senator would beat anyone who disagrees or is critical of him. And worse yet, he sees nothing wrong with this idea. It’s abject danger to have him be the voice of constituents, he has no desire to improve society, but to inflict his will upon it.
But isn’t that the American way?
It sorta is, but it shouldn’t be. So it’s worth mocking and critiquing every time it rears it’s ugly head.
Republicans shitting on the floor and demanding to be praised for it. You get no praise, fools… only shame and ridicule.
What a weak minded pussy.
Conservatives lack humanity. They lack the capacity for empathy or kindness for kindess’ sake. For a conservative, everything is a transaction. If they show kindness or pretend to be empathetic, they feel they have done you a favor and you should be grateful for their kindness.
If a person shows kindness to a conservative, the conservative considers the kindness to be a weakness to exploit. If the person is not someone they wish to exploit, then they identify the kindess as a favor being done for them. A conservative cannot fathom kindness existing just for kindness’ sake.
When you interact with a conservative, understand that they do not see your life as valuable. They do not empathize with you as they are simply not capable of that. They see you only as a transaction.
Use caution when dealing with conservatives. They do not value humanity or living things the way a normal person does.
This latest batch of conservatives seem to dial this trait up to 11. Before, it was mostly a callous indifference. “Oh, you need this social program to survive and we are cutting it for budgetary reasons? Well, why aren’t you investing your money better? If you just invested your money better you’d be a millionaire by now even though your minimum wage job doesn’t pay enough for you to survive.”
Recently, though, they have gotten actively antagonistic to various people merely existing. “We need to shoot and kill these immigrants as they cross the border. Liberals should be rounded up and sent to prison. Globalists (aka Jews) should be killed. You disagree with me? Let’s fight! I’ll beat you up and then kill you!!!”
It’s really scary and these people need to never get anywhere near power.
After a quick google, It appears that after 1902 was the point where the Senate got too woke to tolerate a fist fight.
Thomas Jefferson had enough of this shit in 1801. He wrote an entire manual about it.
Why does Markwayne hate the founding fathers?
Absolutely shocking, how could any true blue blooded American let someone be so civilized?!
He loves the founding fathers. The ones Republicans have told him about that loved Jesus and hated government and all taxes.
Political correctness, nothing. We have laws in this country against assault, you moron. Laws you should know about, considering the fact that you’re literally part of the legislative process.
Bernie Sanders was right to stop you. Hell, you should have been thrown out of the Senate entirely for your failure to act with some degree of decorum. You’re a disgrace to the government.
Republican Senator tries to fist fight a union leader is a little too on brand. Like an Onion headline.
Looking at his Wikipedia page it seems like this has been an on going thing with these 2.
On March 8, 2023, Mullin accused Teamsters president Sean O’Brien of “intimidation” during a Senate HELP Committee hearing on the PRO Act, claiming that O’Brien was forcing union members to pay dues and alleging that union leaders had attempted to unionize his plumbing business
On June 26, 2023, Mullin challenged O’Brien to a fight for charity via Twitter in response to an earlier tweet from O’Brien.
On November 14, 2023, when O’Brien again appeared before the committee, Mullin challenged him to fight, saying, “you want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here” and demanding that O’Brien “stand [his] butt up”.
