    The other guy was called to Congress by Congress I believe. Basically he was summoned or asked to be their to testify. TBH I dont know the circumstances of his presence but often you can’t ‘refuse’ to show up.

    So from the perspective of a citizen being summoned to testify before a Senate committee, then being challenged to a physical fight from a Senator while he is there… its absolutely unequivocally Mullin’s fault. Imagine going to court for a speeding ticket and the judge challenges you to a fist fight. You can’t not show up and now you have to deal with somone trying to physically assault you?!?

    GTFO. Mullin is a clown.

      He was not challenged to a physical fight. He was the challenger. He challenged the senator to a physical fight. Then while in Congress, his challenge was accepted.

      They’re both clowns.

        No, he fucking tweeted. Mullin is clearly in the wrong and the obvious instigator. It’s like you’ve not even watched the fucking video

          Yes, that’s correct, the instigator tweeted a challenge to a fist fight to the senator “anytime, anywhere”, which the senator accepted.

          Both idiots are clearly in the wrong here but people here are only interested in defending their favorite tribe, and don’t care about any sort of rational discussion.
