Markwayne is a bully who inherited a plumbing business from his papa and used the business's fleet of bright red plumbing vans (with his dad's familiar name) to improve his Q-value before running for Congress as an "outsider".
A high school graduate with a plumbing license and a 2010 associate's certificate, Markwayne claims he won a total of five bouts as an MMA fighter (in 2006 & 2007). Recently Markwayne sold his dad's businesses to private equity so he knows boondoggles.
Markwayne the Plumber.
You get what you pay for.

(1,634 posts)Picked fruit as a child. Dropped out of school to support his mom and brothers. Volunteered for the Army Air Corps during WWII. Served in Occupied Japan for two years. Moved back home but he'd seen too much of the world; he rejoined the service in 1952. Twice in Vietnam. Lost a kneecap. Went back again. Happy to see his 30 after a few years of reserve duty. My dad could smell war. Didn't talk about it much. He had respect for our country and our founding documents. Dad didn't wear the flag as a cloisonné pin or a pocket handkerchief.
Markwayne the Plumber is yet another of the pampered, participation trophy, entitled crying children emerging from the tiny, tiny car which is the Drumpf mal-administration. You can bet he'll go toe to toe--against Pete the Kegsbreath.
I'd pay to see that for a dollar.

Not much of a man - stands on a little box to make himself look taller. A real man knows that it doesn't matter.
