Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) said that Oklahomans “would be pretty upset” if he had not stood up to Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien during a Senate hearing on Tuesday.
Mullin and O’Brien went back and forth at each other amid a conversation about labor unions and even threatened a fight, with Mullin standing up from his chair before Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) stopped him.
Mullin defended his actions during an interview with Sean Hannity later that day.
“He called you out,” Hannity said to Mullin. “You called him out for calling you out. And that’s kind of old school, the way it used to be.”
When asked if his conduct aligned with what is expected of a U.S. senator, Mullin responded that he is “a guy from Oklahoma first.”
“In Oklahoma, you don’t do this,” he said of O’Brien’s social media post from June, in...

Leslie Jones is disappointed by the near fight that occurred in the Senate on Tuesday, but not because anything Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin did. No — the comedian’s displeasure has to do with Bernie Sanders breaking things up.
“Back off, Bernie! Bernie, shut up, they was about to fight! I wanted to see that!” Jones said on her second night guest hosting “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. “Is that what America has come to, people fighting in the Senate? Because if it is, I want in.”
“Lindsey Graham, I want you in the ring. Ted Cruz, bring your weird ass beard so I can beat your ass. Mitch! Mitch! Mitch!” Jones yelled while snapping at the widely shared video of McConnell freezing. “Aw, somebody already hit him.”

Capitol Hill was the site of more than one tussle between lawmakers on Tuesday.
Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy got physical with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenessee). Burchett accused McCarthy of elbowing him in “the kidney” in a Capitol hallway.
Burchett was one of the conservative members of the House that voted to oust McCarthy.
Burchett told reporters that McCarthy elbowed him in the back as he was talking to a reporter.
“I ran after McCarthy and I said, ‘What’d you so that for?’ He acted like, ‘Oh, I didn’t do anything,'” Burchett explained.
Burchett then yelled at McCarthy, screaming “Hey Kevin, have some guts.”
McCarthy denied intentionally hurting Burchett.
“I didn’t shove or elbow him, it’s a tight hallway,” he said.
Hours later, during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the General Services Administration, Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) engaged in a heated conversation with Rep.

On Tuesday, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) challenged the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Sean O’Brien, to a fight telling him to “stand your b— up” and settle a longstanding conflict during a congressional hearing.
“This is the time, this is the place,” Mullin said to O’Brien after reading a series of tweets that O’Brien had posted about the senator in the past. “If you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.”
Though the two men never got face to face, they went back and forth insulting each other for around six minutes while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) yelled at them to stop.
“You are a United States senator!” Sanders scolded Mullin.
Earlier this year, O’Brien took to X, formerly Twitter, to call Mullin a “moron” and say he was “full of s—” after Mullin criticized O’Brien at another hearing.

Congress once again got pretty close to a physical brawl during a committee meeting this week, and the women of “The View” were disgusted — but also a little amused — by it on Wednesday morning. For host Sara Haines, it was reminiscent of a certain someone who went viral on “Dr. Phil.”
On Tuesday, Congressman Tim Burchett said he “got elbowed in the back” by Kevin McCarthy, while Senator Bernie Sanders had to actually break up a fight between Oklahoma senator Markwayne Mullin and the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien.
After a disagreement, Mullin said “You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here,” and challenged O’Brien to “stand your butt up.”
“Why did they all turn into the ‘catch me outside’ girl?” Haines mocked. “Like, they’re literally ready to beat the crap out of every single one of them.

Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin ran to Fox News to explain that, despite his best efforts to throw down in the middle of a Senate hearing, “political correctness” is what stopped him from beating up a witness.
On Tuesday, Mullin stood up during a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (Help) Committee and made a move to physically fight Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, a witness before the committee with whom he’s been feuding for months.
Mullin has been going on a media tour in the wake of the near-altercation.

Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin stood up and tried to fight a congressional witness during a Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (Help) Committee hearing on Tuesday.
Mullin and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien have been beefing for months, with Mullin even challenging O’Brien to an Mma-style fight this summer. O’Brien had previously called Mullin a “Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be.” O’Brien told Mullin to “quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings.

Members of Congress are seeking to avoid a government shutdown by the end of the week and thousands of demonstrators have gathered on the Capitol lawn in support of Israel, but the real theatrics have been inside, with resentments nearly coming to physical blows.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tn) accused former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-ca) of elbowing him in the kidney as Burchett was doing an interview Tuesday with NPR. Burchett was one of the eight Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy as speaker last month.
NPR congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales posted a play-by-play of what she saw happen. She wrote that as she was interviewing Burchett, McCarthy walked by with his security detail and “McCarthy shoved Burchett.”
Burchett lunged toward her, she wrote, but she thought it “was a joke.”
She wrote, “Burchett responded jokingly as McCarthy kept walking, ‘Sorry Kevin didn’t mean to elbow –‘ then seriously yelled,...
