Congress has plenty of political battles, but Tuesday saw several incidents that nearly resulted in literal fights.
Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin almost got in a physical altercation with Teamster President Sean O’Brien in a health, education and labor committee hearing.
“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 told O’Brien after reading a tweet where O’Brien said he could take the senator “any time” or “any place.”
“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. Then Mullin, a former MMA fighter, rose from his chair and appeared ready to take on the union boss before committee Chairman Bernie Sanders told the pair to knock it off.
