During a Senate hearing, Sen. Markwayne Mullin challenged Teamsters President Sean O'Brien to fight, even getting up out of his chair.

In a continuation of an ongoing feud, Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin attempted to provoke a physical altercation with a witness in a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee hearing.

Teamsters union president and CEO Sean O'Brien was testifying in the Standing Up Against Corporate Greed: How Unions are Improving the Lives of Working Families hearing on Capitol Hill on November 14, 2023.


You can see the confrontation here:

During the hearing, Mullin read a June tweet posted by O'Brien, then stated:

"You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here."

O'Brien responded:

"OK, that’s fine, perfect. I’d love to do it right now."

The GOP Senator replied:

"Then stand your butt up then."

O'Brien shot back:

"You stand your butt up."

At this point Mullin stood and appeared to be headed for O'Brien.

Committee Chair Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders intervened, however, shouting:

"No, no, sit down! Sit down!"

Senator Sanders reminded Mullin:

"You’re a United States Senator! This is a hearing."
"And God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress, let’s not make it worse."

People were unimpressed with Mullin's latest display of bravado, but felt Senator Sanders handled it well.










The pair previously clashed in a Senate hearing in March of this year, during which Mullin told O'Brien:

"Shut your mouth."

The barbs flew again on Twitter—now X—in June.

O'Brien posted a photo of Mullin revealing the GOP Senator stood on a box to appear taller during a debate.

Mullin is a former MMA fighter who retired 15 years ago.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
