Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to explain why he called out Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders during a Wednesday hearing in which former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was grilled about the company’s treatment of union organizing.
“He’s demonizing all CEOs for being millionaires. He talks about equality. And here’s a guy that has been nothing but in public office. He draws a pension from being a mayor, a lifelong pension, to the point to where when he passes away, his wife’s able to get the full pension too, every month. He’s been in office up here for 27, 28 years. And since that time, he’s been able to accumulate a wealth of over $8 million. And his wife’s a social worker, a professional social worker. So the last time I checked, both of them have done nothing but made money off of taxpayers, which is perfectly okay. That’s a public service. And I respect that. And I respect the ability that he’s able to be wealthy, too. But his hypocrisy runs wild. And he demonizes people. And when he was asked about being a millionaire, he goes, well, if you want to be a millionaire, quote, write a bestseller and you can become a millionaire. And I was like, so why are CEOs that are millionaires corrupt, that creates jobs, that hires the union members that you’re so pro towards? Why are they corrupt and yet a best seller that’s a millionaire that’s never created a job in his life isn’t? Explain that to me”
Senator Mullin also talks about what we can do to ensure schools throughout the country are not soft targets for potential mass shooters. Listen to the podcast to hear what else he had to say!
