Sen. Mullin and Teamsters President O'Brien's Heated Exchange Sparks Controversy

Despite the confrontation, both parties express willingness for a peaceful meeting in the future.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Teamsters President Sean O'Brien had a heated exchange during a Senate committee hearing, with Mullin challenging O'Brien to a fight.
O'Brien responded to the confrontation by saying it was 'bizarre' and that Mullin seemed to be confused about whether he wanted to date him, fight him, bite him, or shoot him.
Despite the confrontation, O'Brien said he would be willing to meet with Mullin in a more peaceful setting, though he would 'wear his football equipment' to protect himself.
Mullin defended his actions, saying he doesn't like bullies and felt obligated to stand up to O'Brien.
Mullin, a former MMA fighter, and O'Brien, a former high school football player, both made references to their athletic pasts during the exchange.
