Sen. Markwayne Mullin blamed “political correctness” for the uproar over his attempt to fight a witness during a Senate hearing.

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.
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.
Can’t wait for the Southpark where PC Principal goes to congress.
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”.
What a weak minded pussy.
“If only daddy didn’t hold me back!”.
Pathetic middle school snowflake.
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.
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
“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.

Letting them fistfight would be an interesting way of reducing the amount of elderly representatives.
You couldn’t get the fight license fast enough :(
Oh yes democracy
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.
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.”

Remember kids, if you have a psychopathic Senator trying to start a fist fight with you, kick 'em in the balls as hard as you can. It’s the right thing to do.
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.
