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

my first thought too.
i say fuck it, if the other guy is down, take it outside.
i think Australian Parliament does that from time to time.
How is this not a form of witness tampering? Are congressional witnesses allowed to be threatened for their participation in a hearing?
Wouldn’t this also meet the requirements for “Obstructing an official proceeding”?
I’ve not really followed this story, but is anybody talking about impeachment and / or criminal charges for this behavior?
Does impeachment even mean anything anymore
Impeachment has a new meaning: The removal of a Democrat from office.
You need Republicans to impeach someone as long as we don’t have 2/3rds control so that means no Republicans will ever be impeached.
It’s the GOP. They alternatively hate the concept of a state when it’s not them in power, and want a religious-military caliphate-style government when it is them in power.
The concept of witness tampering is just taking non-believers out back and shooting them, it’s just another point on the daily docket.
Is that a big boy in the senate? Who’s a big boy, yes he is!
this dude wants desperately to dress up like a little girl

He’s still talking? After committing the most embarrassing spectacle I’ve ever seen in the senate. I guess it’s a good thing he’s a republican and incapable of feeling embarrassment or shame.
I completely lost it when he started talking about how he’d bite.
Like he’s trying to be a macho man and “do things the manly way” then he comes back with “but I’ll bend the rules if it helps me”
someone got hit in the head too many times
Ok even taking that argument at face value which is more than it deserves, is he implying he should not be politically correct in politics?
Political correctness. This guy inherently implies that following the law and not committing crimes is too woke. Bros, is it gay to not commit an assault and battery at least once a day?
What a clown.
Hell yeah that’s gay! In the best possible way. -meant as a statement that would likely irk this new generation of right wing politicians.
It isn’t super helpful that I think this way, but I get a kick out of idiots having the bravado to say this kind of stuff without having any inkling that they are the problem.
Just roll around in a chain link hexagon with another mostly naked dude for a few hours. It’ll straighten you right out.
FELLAS
Man… Being a cis white male is too hard these days. Maybe I should transition or something.
Yeah sure, you got talked down by an 82 year old grandpa. That’s even weaker than having your friends “hold you back.”
Glad we’re in an age where violence is generally discouraged.
“Generally,” except for the honorable statesmen that represent the general public in matters of diplomacy and legislation. Bet it helps military spending though.
This was so dumb. It was entertaining to watch Bernie break it up tho.
“Sit Down! You are a United States Senator!”
Damn, I thought you were going to say he came in with a steel chair.
I wish.
“This is my committee!” While jumping from the bench into the gallery
He’d break a hip tho, irl.
He’d break a hip tho, irl.
For sure.
Ol’ markwayne’s.
(Also what the ever-loving fuck kind of a name is that?)
OH MY GOD! THE SANDERS SLAMMER! He may not be getting up after that one!
Bah gawd!
What a child. The correct response to a grown adult asking for a fist-fight is to laugh in their face and mock them for their temper tantrum.
Someone whose first name is two first names smashed together should never be allowed a position of authority.
That’s definitely a serial killer sort of name.
At least his parents were intelligent enough to know that folk with Wayne as a middle name grow up to be serial killers. So they smashed it into his first name.
Why do rednecks have names like Joe Bob or in the case Markwayne? Because they don’t know which one of his mother’s brothers is the father.
Isn’t this one named after 2 of his uncle’s?
Markwayne
If he’d been named Mar’kwayne, he’d never have been elected.
He should be replaced by Martok.
… well, that might be worse.
Mar’kwayne brings dishonor to his house and will not ascend to the halls of Sto’vo’kor
Martok will pave the road to Gre’thor with his ashes! Unfortunately it doesn’t help our issues of decorum in Congress :/
Martok was at least honorable.
Sad facts

Unbelievable that we now have a party of, “why can’t I hit people?”
He knows the guy who caned Sumner was charged with and convicted of assault, right?
Yeah but he also got mailed canes from around the country. Same circus, same monkeys.
