    It appears the GOP senator was butt hurt over something the witness posted on twitter several months ago, and challenged him to a fight...

    He read the twitter messages at the hearing and said ....

    Edited to four quotes ...

    "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."

    ...

    "I'd love to do it right now," O'Brien said.

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

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

    Republicans continue to be a yuge embarrassment to America.

    Glad there was an adult present to prevent that from escalating. Sounds like things are getting a little chippy here in the fourth quarter.

    McCarthy accused of shoving Republican who helped oust him: 'Cheap shot from behind'

    In an on-camera interview from the Capitol Hill outdoor steps after the alleged incident, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., alleged McCarthy came up and took a "cheap shot from behind."

    "You don't expect that sort of thing from an adult, certainly not one who was once third in line for the White House," Burchett said.

    Burchett told reporters that McCarthy's actions seemed "deliberate."

    "I'll take a polygraph test. And have Kevin take a polygraph test," he said. "It was deliberate. It was just a cheap shot by a bully."

    Let the record reflect that neither Rep. Boebert or Rep. Taylor-Greene appear to have had any direct role in either incident. It would be natural to presume as much but it would be inaccurate.

    So, one dude calls a senator out on twitter a few months and belittles him and challenges him to a fight. Then when they are faced to face the senator that was called out says now's the time?
    I think that should be a lesson for the keyboard warriors!! Go and read the exchange from twitter and I don't know how you can't support the senator other than shouldn't have done it at the hearing, or maybe should have and made this public like the keyboard dude did.

    LOL ... yeah ... it's the "confronting a witness at a Senate Hearing and trying to start a fist fight with him in the chamber" part that's a problem ... you got it right, there.

    If they want to fight somewhere else, cool... apparently the other guy even offered to fight him for charity in the past, so do that.... But you got to have thicker skin than to start reading 5-month-old twitter posts at a hearing and challenging someone to a fight -- talk about living rent free. Totally unfit to govern and an embarrassment to the country. Should be expelled.
