- In an aggressive confrontation at a Senate health, education, labor and pensions committee, Markwayne Mullin, a Republican senator, clashed with Sean O’Brien, president of Teamsters, a US labor union, and challenged him to a physical fight.

Mullin referenced a previous hearing in March when he and O'Brien had a heated exchange over Mullin's background as a business owner and O'Brien's salary as the union chief.
'I appreciate your demeanor today. It's quite different. But after you left here, you got pretty excited about the keyboard. In fact, you tweeted at me, one, two, three, four, five times,' Mullin said, holding up printed out versions of O'Brien's posts on Twitter/X. Mullin read one of O'Brien's posts out loud, in which he called Mullin a 'greedy CEO', a 'clown' and a 'fraud'.
Bernie Sanders attempted to mediate between the two men, to little avail.

I half expected Bernie to just say "Know what? You two, get down there, fight it out and the winner gets $20 bucks"
😂😂😂
Wouldn't have been much of a fight, Mullin was a professional fighter before he became a senator.
Bernie was never that cool.
20 dollars bucks
We almost got to witness the greatest moment in Senate history.
Not exactly, people have died on the Senate floor...
This was nothing. Look up Charles Sumner and Preston Brooks....
@@amt5911, Yes. Unfortunately, Bernie was not there to referee. SMH
Fights like what didn't happen here were common place back in the 1700's and early 1800's. There was even once a duel.
@@jrawk4140good
The lady laughing in the back and quickly fixing her face is the best part 😂😂
Ooh stop it, will ya. You know as well as me that that was probably the best part of the whole case
How can we take these people seriously?
The joke is .. " We can't" we're born to fail..
Tell me you're younger than 24 without telling me 😭🤣
He stood on business
@@JDog801 so people below 24 are more mature. got it
@@JDog801 what does being young have to do with it?
Back in the day they'd have gone outside to have a proper duel, Hamilton v. Burr style
I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.
Kids! Kids! BEHAVE! What an utter EMBARRASSMENT! 🙄
Holy smokes! No wonder Congress has a low rating. That was so childish,
Totally disagree.
This was the first time we found out that someone wasn't in it for corporate money and personal ambition
@@tsgod6584 We knew way before that Bernie Sanders wasn't there for corporate money and personal ambition.
Unbelievable. Is he on a playground?
Ridiculous behavior, A politician that can't take criticism
Republican
How was his statement "criticism"?
He literally proved his point
If you think that was an act, you might want to stay away from bars and sports events. If it wasn't for Bernie being a pansy, we would have actually seen something worthwhile happen in the Senate.
@@FredrickTeslaCute
@@youwatch2muchtv Real. Oklahoma has a "fighting words" doctrine, the beat down Mullins would have given him would have been completely legal in his own state.
@@FredrickTesla You wish lol
@@___Truth___ I absolutely do wish they would have fought. I even said as much.
Make sure you find the full 8 minute video, there are some golden nuggets about 5 minutes after the first confrontation.
Poor Bernie
Did you see those guys in the front row sitting behind the labor union leader?! They were like "yeah guys, throw down dudes, throw down!"
“I’d LOVE to do it right now.”
Bernie is the only sane person there...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dude you're funny
@@Kalel3887 I am neither a dude nor being funny.
Yep.
Bernie is the most reasonable, professional voice as usual... Not even a tongue in cheek from him in this ridiculous moment.
Do you know history of American government? If you do you know that's how they used to settle their differences. We need to bring that back. The witness can challenge Mullins but when Mullins accepts it's all of the sudden his fault. Y'all that think like that are very soft. 😭🤣
@@JDog801u voted for Biden
... nice save
Bernie Sanders
@@ashintheblunt3292you both voted for trump.
@@JDog801hes a senator and needs to act like it.
People like Senator Mullins are making rules by passing legislation for over 300 million people in our country. He is an active sitting U.S. Senator. He needs to act like one. Be better than that, Senator Mullins.
How exactly is he passing legislation? that's not the job of a congressperson just so you know, they can present bills but this guy hasn't presented any bills and What legislation are you even referring to that is helping 300 million people???😂😂😂😂
"The government does not work -- vote for me and I'll prove it!" - The GOP's Motto
@jrzygurl his vote in senate can break gridlock. Stop being obtuse.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed I see. @@jrzygurl
We aren't a democracy. The Senate represents the states. Read the Constitution.
Bernie is the voice of reason. Reasoned passion.
Sitting beside Republican hate-filled violence.
Ha Ha Ha bernie wanted to sk him off
hate filled? lol. calling someone out is hatE?
Sometimes two men just need to fight it out. One of my best friendships today started with the first fight.
Bernie wants the meeting to end ewrly so he can return to the lake side house that hillary bought for him.
@@danielswinger2986fight during the senate hearing and not in private? You must be nuts.
This is a leader of American people?
He started this 8 months ago. He questioned Obrien's salary and work ethic. Did not like that someone stood up to him. Can you imagine an employee disagreeing with him?
Mr.Mullins you are the example of why we need unions.
Well Mr. O’Brien stood his ground even if he did keep his seat 💺. Thank you Mr. O’Brien for exposing what is going on in Congress. ❤ I hope Senator Mullins’ constituents are watching and taking notes 🗒️ on how Senator Mullins is representing the American 🇺🇸 people. Name calling and physically threatening witnesses. SMH 🤦♀️ Thank you Senator Sanders for being the voice of sanity and courage.
He stood on business i respect him
That's why people need to vote out Senator Mullin. Teach him what happens when he acts like a tough guy when he's supposed to represent the state he currently works for.
Bernie sanders in the twilight zone
Bernie the only sane voice in the room.
In all honesty, if anyone else did what, Sen. Mullin did in their workplace? They would get severely chewed out by their boss, maybe even fired. So, in my opinion, this behavior would never be tolerated anywhere.
His boss are the people that voted for him, if they don't vote him out then they chose not to fire him
Was gonna be the best fight video ever
Mullin is a disgrace. Completely embarrassing
What would right-wingers do all day if they didn't have anyone to hate?
What would left wingers do all day if they didn’t have anyone to hate?
Remember when they said women can't lead because they are too emotional? 🤣.
You’re missing the core of their problems.
At the heart of it all, it’s their self hatred that manifested to others.
the same thing that the left does!
They might try passing a budget.
Ohhh, Bernie.... like the dad America never had & so apparently needs.
As much as I agree we don’t need anymore boomers
@@wolf2966Bernie Sanders is from the Silent Generation.
He fought three MMA Fights and he thinks he’s Brock Lesnar.
This didnt even get gradually heated, bro just randomly challenged someone he disagreed with to a fight in the middle of a senate hearing smh 🤣🤣🤣
The dude ran his mouth about any time and any place, looks like he’s writing checks he can’t cash
obviously the senator was childish too, but it was the Teamster president that challenged HIM to a fight. That was his tweet he was reading back to him
@@haydeng3541"Tweet".
How are we supposed to take MAGAs seriously?
😂
@@miguelvelez7221 what's wrong with his use of the word "tweet"? lol
@miguelvelez7221 are you critiquing the word or the form of which the communication was made?
That's the first time that rich boy senator has ever had his bluff called.
He is the second Cherokee Nation citizen to ever serve in the chamber. Markwayne Mullin is a former undefeated Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter with a professional record of 5-0. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016.
You run your mouth on Twitter but then you find out what’s up when it’s in 3D. You ain’t so anonymous here. FAFO!
@@fauxque50575-0 with only three fights in his mma career impressive. Also straight from his website.
@@fauxque5057based
@@landonor1What are you talking about? O'Brien clearly said he was ready to fight.
What a maniac.
Wow!!
This is where we are 🤦🏽♂️
I need south park to remake this
Bernie needs a bigger gavel. He deserved the oval office.
Why, so he can hand it to HRC?
Lol. Socialism has no place in America with all the deadweights.
@@coreyratz All the dead weight at the top can go
@@hyperx72 Amen.

Two men enter, one man leaves!
Now THAT'S politics.
Bernie is the only sane person in Congress which is exactly why Americans didn’t vote for him.
😂😂😂
wheres the proof? @@miahsaint-georges
😂😂😂 fr
I did vote for him
I voted for him.
Just when you think Republicans have hit rock bottom, they grab a shovel and start digging. 😅
Drill baby, drill!
😂😂
The Senator should be removed from leadership roles.
This is what happens when you lose it in a meeting. The dinosaur fight and unthinking part of the brain that we later regret, destroys careers in a few seconds or minutes here. The Chair is responsible to stop it
Why? Baldy threw out a challenge to an ex-mma fighter online thinking he'd never have to own up to it, and nearly got what was coming to him. That senator comes from a state that has a "fighting words" doctrine. He's in no risk of losing his job.
Catch me outside ! How about that
Where do i buy tickets
If this was a skit, you’d think it was far fetched!
I have Always Loved Bernie Sanders
The teamster did tweet "anytime any place" then got called out and waited for Larry David to save him.
BTW Sentor Mullin is in the Oklahoman sports hall of fame for a wrestling carreer and is 5-0 in MMA fights. I dont think he is the kind of person that is afraid to be punched.
At what point did O'Brien act afraid? He clearly said he was ready to fight.
So what? A senator should be above that sort of childish behavior. This is clearly a man that likes to use physical violence to bully those around him. Get off the internet and touch grass my guy, Twitter is not real life.
Not afraid? He seeks out fighting. He stated he taught his children fighting is how to resolve disagreements. The Sen is a troglodyte.
Would have been so great to see. Sen. Backed it up.
@@krisverde the same senator that was cowering behind his seat on January 6th? That senator? Lol
SNL skit coming!!!!! 😅😅😅😅
Let em duke it out
You run your mouth on Twitter but then you find out what’s up when we’re in 3D. You ain’t so anonymous here.
Exactly, boy’s got a crocodile mouth 😂
so says the guy with the made up name, or is your name really landonor, so what is a lan and who did you donate it to, or did you mean land onor then what is a onor.

😂
@fauxque5057 he's short too.
Conduct unbecoming
💯
As unfair as it might seem, if you can't take the heat, you gotta get out of the kitchen.
omg i just heard him say "I don't like you bc your just described yourself!" This is Peewee herman levels but i love it. UPS guy behind him lol
It’s giving banana republic
Go Bernie go!
Ain’t gotta pay-per-view this one
You tell ‘em Bernie! I love you ❤
You got that right!!!!!!! Feel the Bern!!!!!!!
They built different in Oklahoma
Union strong!
Translation "stop cap'n on twitter. Let's get active."😂😂
Let’s make this happen Rogan
standin on business
Comedy gold. Sean O'Brien rules. 😂
The republican party is off the rails
Blame trump for that
"Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." -Mike Tyson
If you're gunna talk, back it up. That's on the union guy for running him mouth without backing it up.
Considering he was talking to the teamsters president, this behavior is historically appropriate.
Mullins got his manhood punches in a tweet and couldn't control his mouth.
Sounds kinda like trump I wonder wher he learned this behavior🤔
Both parties corrupt corrupt corruption is rampent both parties
The fact that no one cares about this is amazing.
Regardless of who you agree with, absolutely nothing justifies a senator challenging someone to a fight during testimony. Disgraceful.
"Your honor, me and you, parking lot, 20 minutes."
LOVE IT!
They were both acting foolish
The last I checked, this is Congress, not the WWE.
gawd……how ridiculous!
The first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club
Man I want to see this fight so bad 😂
Who wins?
If they do decide to move to a more appropriate venue I hope they get Bernie Sanders to referee it!
Thank you for that mental picture you made my day.
Fight Fight Fight
This is embarrassing.
Only thing embarrassing is they stopped
He asked for that fade, respectfully.
I can't believe that these are the people that represent us 😑
If you just look at the eyes in the background it’s great 😂
They are supposed to be talking about the *economy*, which very much needs to be talked about, and instead they choose to banter....
Sanders intervening like hes watching his grandkids
*Enough of the madness. Vote Blue* 💙💙💙
Vote none no blue no red corruption and manipulation runs way to deep.
🤣🤣😂 delusion at it’s finest
@@-Benito_Swagolini-really cause it’s on a literal video clip right here
That senator is my hero
That's most Ludacris moment in politics
get rid of him
I would have sat there with a bag of popcorn and enjoyed the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, I approve this squabble.
No wonder half of America doesn’t bother to participate
What a beast
Poor Bernie, he is going to break that gavel.
Dana White needs to get involved in this 👊
Teamster dude would stand no chance.
what ever in the world did Bernie Sanders do to deserve this anyway?
Sean O'Brien-2
Markwayne Mullins-0
I always wonder if these events are purposely made just to spark some attention to the senate.
Bout time we solve things the old fashion way
UPS Swan Island will become fully automated “as of next year” as a part of UPS's “Network of the Future” resulting job losses yet Sean O'Brien lied on record when saying automation would not be a threat to jobs at UPS. Now O'Brien is supporting automation-driven job cuts at UPS.
I feel sorry for his wife and kids. Republican Mullin governing through fear. Imagine his behavior at home, when no one’s looking.
He beat someone in his immediate family that night for sure. 😢
Stop it. You’re being ridiculous. My understanding is that the teamster guy called him out on Twitter, so Mullen called him out on his BS to his face. Simple.
@@jims512 Ridiculous? That doesn't sound ridiculous to you? Bringing a twitter fight to a senate hearing? Republicans must not mentally age past 16 or something.
@@jims512 You’re partly right for sure. The difference? One is a member of the Senate. We can expect decorum. The party of fear and violence is going DOWN. Let’s hope soon.
