GOP Senators "privately admit" they have MDS! (Markwayne Derangement Syndrome). WE LOVE YOU MARKY!

While Republican senators are prepared to approve Mullin’s nomination, that doesn’t mean they want to discuss the spat publicly.

"It was pretty vicious, but I'll tell you what I saw was Rand kept his cool," a senior Republican told Raw Story on background because he was afraid to share his actual thoughts publicly. "I'm not going to comment at all.”

Still, the public brawl reverberated through the U.S. Capitol after Homeland Security Committee Chair Paul highlighted Mullin calling him a “freaking snake” after Paul’s neighbor attacked him, breaking his ribs in 2017.

"In my time in Congress, rarely have I seen such an intense exchange between two members of the same party, especially in the United States Senate. Clearly, both of them are very strong-willed, very confident in their point of view and perspective and their memory," Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), one of six of Mullin’s home state colleagues in Congress, told Raw Story. "It was just fascinating."
