Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to explain why he’s decided to challenge Teamsters CEO Sean O’Brien to an MMA-style fight for charity.
“Sean O’Brien is a union Teamster thug boss. I mean, he is truly a thug by all means. He says that the union is a militant organization. I mean, these are his quotes. He thinks the mob mentality should return to the Teamsters. He and five other members of his union direct line underneath him have been indicted for extortion. They’ve threatened all types of people. They slash tires of vehicles. I mean, just a real absolute thug. And during a hearing, we got a little sideways. I don’t like bullies. I never have like bullies. I grew up with a speech impediment and I had to learn how to fight pretty quick because I couldn’t argue with you. And so bullies have a special place in my heart. And this guy popped off at the mouth and he said, any time, any place cowboy. So I’ve ignored him since March. And I finally said, enough’s enough. MMA fight, September 30th, Tulsa, Oklahoma. And so, proceeds will go to go to charity. He’s got three days to respond. And I’m not trying to do it for anything other than, this bully needs to be taught a lesson.”
Senator Mullin also talks about a bill he’s co-sponsoring which is aimed at cutting back on electric vehicle mandates. Listen to the podcast to hear what else he had to say!
