Sen. Markwayne Mullin blamed “political correctness” for the uproar over his attempt to fight a witness during a Senate hearing.
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.
One named Markwayne, apparently.
They elected an MMA guy to beat up people that disagree with them.
Probably should have elected an MMA fighter without a ticking vascular timebomb in his head then.

“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,” Hannity said, asking Mullin when society had become so “woke” that fist-fights are no longer an acceptable solution to conflict.
Hannity is so full of shit, trying to act tough as always. Meanwhile, he STILL hasn’t been waterboarded like he said he would.

For most of us that happened in elementary school.
I remember when Mancow got waterboarded on the air. He completely changed his tune and said it was cruel. Even a broken clock is right twice per day I guess.
WTAF is the thought process here? Fight the witness. Hmmmmm
Cocaine is a powerful drug
Steroids and trt more likely.
Sorry but Urban Dictionary has no relevant entries for TRT
testosterone replacement therapy
So…gender-affirming hormone therapy?
They’ve both talked about having a mutual fight before, so this really isn’t anything new, this time it was just in person.
The incident ended with them agreeing to go get coffee together.
You’re giving the senator way too much credit. After Sanders got the Senator to sit his crybaby ass back down and act like an adult, the Teamster rep quipped that his idea of “settling this” would be discussing it over coffee like adults. The Senator then responded - flustered - that he’d do that, in an attempt to save face after having embarrassed himself. The teamster, sitting calmly and still smiling, said, “Yeah, sure, ok. Let’s grab coffee and discuss this,” is the most drippingly sarcastic tone ever uttered by man and still smiling, because he knew he won and made Senator Chucklefuck look like a total nutjob— who responded, btw, with, “Yeah, yeah… coffee.”
Senator Markwayne Gacy isn’t having coffee with anyone.
Meh, I thought the teamster guy came off as a scrub. Telling him to stand up and whatnot, then saying “wait, you want to fight?” in a fake-surprised voice.
He was winding up a prize d-bag, yes. But he was still being a punkass about it.
He’s a union guy through and through. I’m sure he’s seen worse at local teamster meetings
The Teamster dude was shit-talking the Senator the whole time. Of course he wasn’t going to fight him— it’s a Senate hearing, not a schoolyard, and they’re not children. Everyone (but Senator Jimbob, it seems) could hear how sarcastic he was being. (Edit: watch the video— it’s hilarious how he baits the Senator into his tantrum, but Bernie comes out as the real star just for acting like the grown-up in the room).
The Teamster guy baited the Senator into publicly embarrassing himself, and it worked. That’s why that Teamster dude was just sitting there and smiling the whole time; he was just egging that dickbag Senator on, and he kept falling for it until Sanders shut him down.
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.

But god fucking forbid Fetterman wears a fucking hoodie.
Even if violence was an acceptable form of conflict resolution, if you want to have a fist fight over twitter beef do it on your own time. Not while you’re actively performing your job that we the people pay you to do.

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.
I’m sure he would also be the first to complain if someone stronger beat him and wanted to play by their rules, too.
Republicans shitting on the floor and demanding to be praised for it. You get no praise, fools… only shame and ridicule.
What a child. It’s 2023, do we really need grown men getting in fist fights with people? I am a coward, but not a fool. I see no reason to risk arrest or serious injury getting into a fist fight with an idiot.
“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.
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.
What a weak minded pussy.
“If only daddy didn’t hold me back!”.
Pathetic middle school snowflake.
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?
Republican Senator tries to fist fight a union leader is a little too on brand. Like an Onion headline.
