In Tuesday’s Senate hearing, a heated exchange almost escalated into a physical altercation between Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma and Teamsters union boss Sean O’Brien.

The situation intensified when Mullin read out a past tweet of O’Brien’s, mocking Mullin’s claims of being self-made and branding him a fraud. Mullin addressed O’Brien directly during the hearing, suggesting they could settle their differences then and there.

“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,” Mullin said.

“I’d love to do it now,” O’Brien shot back.

The escalation was quickly halted by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who intervened to maintain order. Sanders instructed Mullin to sit down and reminded him of his position as a United States Senator.

The fight proposal was made following O’Brien’s challenge to Mullin for a fight in June on X. In his message, he labeled Mullin as a “clown” and “fraud”, concluding with, “You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy.”
