A U.S. Senator and a witness came close to blows during a Senate HELP committee hearing on Nov. 14, 2023. • The episode unfolded when Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma was questioning Teamsters President Sean O'Brien. • Mullin resurfaced tweets by O’Brien from June, which were made after the two got into a heated back and forth at a previous hearing. • At one point during the exchange, Mullin stood from his seat and told O’Brien to quote stand your butt up. • Committee chairman Senator Bernie Sanders attempted to stop the altercation but it continued with several minutes of name calling. • No punches were exchanged and eventually the two appeared to finish the back and forth by agreeing to have coffee. • Info and video from NBC News Channel • Subscribe to 11Alive for exclusive content: http://bit.ly/11AliveSubscribe • Text plus to 404-885-7600 to download 11Alive+ and stream 24/7 on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. • 11Alive is Where Atlanta Speaks.
