Bernie Sanders Stops Near-Brawl At Senate Hearing

The gloves have been off as a fistfight practically broke out between GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters Normal President, Sean O’Brien, on Capital Hill Tuesday … leading to a stern scolding from Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Tensions erupted when ex-MMA fighter Mullin learn out tweets by O’Brien following a earlier heated congressional listening to, by which he was labeled a “clown and fraud,” amongst numerous different insults.

Along with his damning gaze firmly on his opponent, Mullin warns of a “time and place to run his mouth” … and as “two consenting adults,” they may “finish it here.”

The duo urges one another to “stand their butt up” to duke it out leaving an agitated Sanders to maintain the peace and remind Mullin of his duties as a United States senator.

“God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress,” Sanders says, clearly pissed concerning the showdown that was about to unfold.

Unrelenting, Mullin goes on to taunt his rival for “going quiet” … just for O’Brien to hit again by likening him to a 12-year-old for difficult him to a cage match. Ouch.
