Anyone who says politics is boring is apparently not paying attention to politics today. In a Senate hearing, Senator Markwayne Mullin challenged Sean O'Brien of the Teamsters to an all out battle.
Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin @SenMullin just stood up and tried to fight labor leader Sean O'Brien @TeamsterSOB at a Senate Help Committee hearing after reading his tweet where O'Brien says he'd take him "any time, any place." pic.twitter.com/8oiPSNZJV8

A little backstory is necessary. The two had apparently exchanged heated messages on Twitter (where else?) and O'Brien claimed Mullin had not built his business 'alone'. Mullin corrected O'Brien and clarified he and his wife were responsible for their success. Mullin went onto to share a tweet when O'Brien had seemingly challenged him to a rumble. Mullin was ready for it and made it very clear by standing up.
Since Bernie decided to be a killjoy, I say @SenMullin and @TeamsterSOB settle this on the next @roughnrowdy.

Leave it to Bernie to be a wet blanket.
Markwayne Mullin is one of the last people on earth I’d challenge to a fight… https://t.co/VTH4triaZl pic.twitter.com/LRJDB2zaXV

Maybe, the government should Pay-Per-View it all and help pay down the national debt.

Bernie wants them to get off his lawn!
Politicians should be able to fight to the death https://t.co/QJuRhU7yEb

Maybe not to the death, but there are certainly some folks who might act better if someone gave them a fat lip occasionally.
Bernie Sanders ruins everything

Capitalism, primaries and the thunderdome we just had built in the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/NxZrfNqwh2
When Bernie Sanders has to be the voice of reason, you know there is a problem.

Yeah, but it was about to be a beating. https://t.co/e9SiNRUjRZ
The other day I asked my daughter if she saw many fights at her high school.

“No, that’s more middle school,” she said.

Touche.
Today, former House Speaker pushed another Member. A Senator almost fought a witness. Decorum on the Hill is not what it used to be.

Think about congressional history (yes, besides the killing!), during HUAC, organized crime, assassinations - yet this didn't happen. #Sad https://t.co/0bA4Sv6PEL
Honestly, American history is full of violent incidents in government.
this makes me hate bernie even more, he prevented a kino fight during a senate hearing. it would have been a return to classic American politics. https://t.co/u9y2J2U8m4

Sigh. Socialists are always stealing all the good things. Heh.
