GOP lawmaker reveals backstory after nearly coming to blows with union boss at Senate hearing
Fox News
Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin spoke out against Teamsters Union President Sean O'Brien after the two had a confrontation in a Senate hearing.
Mullin read a tweet from earlier this year in which O'Brien called him a "greedy CEO" with a "tough guy act." The lawmaker previously started and grew a plumbing business in Oklahoma but has been critical of how unions operate and argues they put their leaders' salaries above the wellness of workers. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Mullin told O'Brien he wished he was in his plumbing truck when he and his wife ran a two-person plumbing operation at first. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
"Any place, any time, cowboy," he read from O'Brien's tweet. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
