Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin appeared on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s show Tuesday evening to discuss challenging a hearing witness to a fight after the witness appeared to make a threat online.
“Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, and we can finish it here,” Mullin, who has had three professional MMA fights that he won, told Teamsters President Sean O’Brien during a Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing after reading a tweet in which O’Brien said he could take the senator “any time” or “any place.”
“OK, that’s fine, perfect,” O’Brien responded.
“You want to do it now?” Mullin asked.
“I would love to do it right now,” O’Brien said, prompting Mullin to say, “Well, stand your butt up then.”
“You stand your butt up, big guy,” O’Brien said, per Fox News, before Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called the hearing back to order.
“And this guy I just don’t think he was expecting me to answer the call and we need more of this to be quite frank. I don’t say more violence, but we need people to be taught a lesson and be called out on what they say,” he said.
“I think any other kind of response would have been gutless,” Hannity said.
“I would agree with that,” Mullin said. “I mean, what did people want me to do? If I didn’t do that, people in Oklahoma would be pretty upset with me. That’s how I was raised, and I also represent Oklahoma values.”
WATCH:
Too often, big union bosses intimidate, threaten, and bully employees and job creators to get their way. That might work on some people, but not on me. Yesterday I made it clear: in Oklahoma, you don't issue a challenge unless you're going to answer the call. pic.twitter.com/N4A3uRPTHj
