GOP lawmaker draws backlash for telling Democrat to 'shut up' during heated ObamaCare debate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) drew backlash from some of his fellow committee members this week after telling a Democratic colleague to "shut up" during a heated discussion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The heated exchange began after Mullin remarked at a meeting that employees at his plumbing company told him their coverage under the Obama-era health care law “sucks."

Mullin called out New Mexico Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D) during a discussion of the health care law, asking what Luján has proposed to resolve bipartisan efforts to change the ACA.

Luján interrupted to ask whether Mullin would yield his time to allow him to answer the question. Mullin declined, saying Luján could "shut up now."

1. If your employees complain

about thier Health CAre Coverage who's fault do you think it is Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).
The employer picks the plan.

2. I doubt he's got that many "employees," but, maybe.

Just a thug thinking he's tough.

5. What a mouthpiece....poor me bully....from 2017 Wikipedia.....

In April 2017, Mullin drew criticism when he was recorded during a town hall meeting telling his constituents that it was "bullcrap" that taxpayers pay his salary. He said, "I pay for myself. I paid enough taxes before I got here and continue to through my company to pay my own salary. This is a service. No one here pays me to go."

According to the January 2012 Congressional Research Service, the salary of a U.S. representative is $174,000 per year, and benefits include allowances, cost-of-living adjustments, enrollment in a pension, health benefits, personnel, mail and office expenses, and a travel allowance.
