'Stand your butt up': Fistfight nearly breaks out during Senate hearing until Bernie Sanders steps in

So this was at the bottom of the article where McConnell weighs in “this is why congress shouldn’t run for 5 weeks straight, things get weird.” Wtf, what about everyone else in the world that works 52 weeks straight. Just another example of how out of touch some representatives are.

What the fuck is going on in America.

Can you please not elect the school yard bully who possibly has an acquired brain injury from the time they were a cage fighter?

"Sir, this is a time; this is a place. You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here."

• Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stopped the altercation from happening, yelling at Mullin: “Stop it! No, no, sit down! You know, you’re a United States senator."

Markwayne was upset about a fuckin tweet. Shame on Oklahoma for voting him in. This is what you get from a MMA fighter, he tries to fight people. 😂

Can we please just have adults represent us. This buffoonery is embarrassing.

"Then stand your butt up then," said Mullin.

"You stand your butt up," said O'Brien.

It's kind of funny to me that these grown men were about to have a fight in the middle of a congressional hearing over a mean tweet, but saying "ass" isn't appropriate.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. That's where that country is headed.

I'm oddly disappointed the sentence didn't end with "with a steel chair"

Sanders bringing back The People's Elbow.

So much little dick, snowflake, peaked in middle school energy coming from this guy, it's just absolutely sad.

Wtf is happening

I'm sorry... Markwayne?

What kind of stupid fucking name is that.

You guys remember this country fought a war against itself, right?

MMA fighters are all loose cannons. You don't just decide that your life's calling is to knock the piss out of another man by any means necessary. That's psycho shit. So is threatening violence on a union president. If only Republicans understood that hatred isn't a political ideology and doesn't cash checks.

These republiQans lost they damned minds.

The creators of Idiocracy did not have the imagination for this.

The senator has two first names... in his first name.

What are people expecting here?

I love how Bernie was the one that broke it up.

Yet Mullin cowardly hides under a row of seats during Jan 6.

Uduslly this type of toxic masculinity screams closet case to me.

Teamsters boss is right, the senator is a clown. Saying stupid things to get in the news.

Mullin needs to go back to his crappy plumbing company. Wasn't he the one hiding while his suposed buddies invaded the place a couple of years ago?

Idiocracy was supposed to be an absurd comedy, not a suggestion!

Should be immediate loss of position when you threaten to fight anyone in congress

Mullin might benefit from a little historical research on the activities of the Teamsters' union.

Permanently Deleted

I’m so embarrassed for Oklahoma

Abe Lincoln would have wrecked them

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”

That cannot be his real name

yeah, but Teamsters don't show up to a fight without preparing, including having already dug the other guys grave.

Stay classy Oklahoma.

Not a good idea to try to get psychical with the teamsters.

Someone's overcompensating. It would have been interesting to see Mullin and O'Brien side by side:

The title makes it seem like Sanders ripped his shirt off and beat some ass. Which I would like to see, actually.

fuckin neanderthals

'nearly'

yawn

Best country in the world!

MMA. oh man I used to work with a Muay Thai guy. Body builder, ate nothing but protein. Suspected a lot of roids. They stand there and kick each other in the head. smh

"You're cruisin' for a bruisin' BUDDY!"

Goddamn I love Sean O'Brien

And the US takes another step towards devolving into an African third world nation...

With a name like that, had better make sure he isn't married to his cousin.

I'm just saying (somewhat jokingly) banana republic. Please decent US people, stop this shit. it's causing so much anxiety over the pond. I just can't anymore.
