Markwayne Mullin is a US Senator from Oklahoma. According to Wikipedia:
- Mullin is the first Native American U.S. senator since Ben Nighthorse Campbell retired in 2005.
- His first name is a tribute to two of his paternal uncles, Mark and Wayne; his mother put both names on his birth certificate, intending to later shorten his name to one of the two, but ultimately never did.
- He is the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor's degree.
- At the end of 2021, Mullin's reported assets increased to a range of $31.6 million to $75.6 million, compared to a range of $7.3 million to $29.9 million at the end of 2020. The increase was from the sale of his plumbing-related companies to HomeTown Services, a multi-state residential heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical company.
That's all pretty cool. Good for him. Sen. Mullin is also a major Trumpist and not afraid to go on TV to say ridiculous things. Like this, in support of Trump sending the National Guard to confront the LA protestors:
"A foreign flag, while you're attacking law enforcement?! It's pretty bad."
Pretty bad indeed! Who would dare fly a foreign flag while attacking law enforcement?
I assume anyone arrested at the LA protests will get pardoned. Free the 6/9ers!
Zed - talking points memo clearly laid this out for you. Waynegarth ChrisMullin is just toeing the party line. Cover of the NY Post should have told ya…

i do quite enjoy the 'confederacy of dunces' tag. markwaynegroh is a particularly odious member of the maga species. dude tried to fight teamsters' president sean o'brien in a senate hearing in 2023.
ReplyDeleteBut Sean and Rump were buddies last year!
ReplyDeleteLet's just pray this isn't all prelude to a shitty incident that spawns the basis for Neil Young's "Ohio II."
ReplyDeletehell, i'd be willing to bet that stephen miller's hoping for/counting on that kind of incident.
ReplyDeleteThe double standards at play are truly staggering.
ReplyDeleteThe right's justifications for its actions are becoming so facially farcical that someday soon they will tip into truth. Can't you envision a Republican Congressman saying "We have to do this to stop all the brown people!" at some point in the next 12 months?
ReplyDeleteI can envision that, a real "is you is or is you ain't my constituency?" type of moment.
ReplyDeleteshit, charlie kirk and matt walsh said this week that america should be closed to immigration from third world countries. that's way beyond racist-curious.
