GOP Senator Challenges Teamster's President to a Fight

[RandySF]

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) on Monday challenged a labor union president to a physical fight in response to some mean tweets.

The senator and Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien have been feuding since March, when O’Brien referred to Mullin, a business owner, as a “greedy CEO” during a Senate committee hearing.

Mullin brought up the exchange during another Senate hearing last Wednesday, prompting O’Brien to respond online, where he called the senator “JohnWayne” and a “moron” in one tweet, and a “clown” and a “fraud” in another.

“Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings,” O’Brien wrote in a tweet that mocked Mullin’s height. “You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy.”

After apparently thinking about it for five days, on Monday, Mullin suggested they set a date and location for a mixed martial arts showdown ― “for charity.”

5. My first thought was how the senate and congress have degraded the last few years

But then I though this kind of stupid shit has gone on before

[Elessar Zappa]

11. Congress was even more crazy pre-civil war,

especially the 1850s. There were duels outside the Capitol, fights, canings, etc. Congressmen had open bottles of whiskey while in the chamber. Let’s hope we don’t return to that.

6. From the article it sounds like the Teamster President is the one who made the challenge.

7. I'm a lover not a fighter, but the GOP may find out

We've got tough people on our side too, and the money could go to victims of violence.

Make it like a Rocky 2...

We might get some independent votes after Sean kicks his ass.

16. Wait A Second

Mullin picks a fight, but now wants there to be rules.
As James Earl Jones said in Field Of Dreams, "Rules? Naw! There are no rules here."
