GOP Senator Challenges Teamster's President to a Fight [View all]
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 OBrien have been feuding since March, when OBrien 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 OBrien 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, OBrien wrote in a tweet that mocked Mullins 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.
