House Republican lashes out at constituent for saying his salary was paid by taxpayers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As a U.S. representative, Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) earns a salary of $174,000 per year. He seems to be confused about where that money comes from, however.

During a town hall event earlier this week, the third term congressman said the notion taxpayers pay his salary is “bullcrap.”

“You said you pay for me to do this — bullcrap, I pay for myself,” Mullin, who reportedly owns multiple companies under the umbrella of Mullin Plumbing, said. “I pay enough taxes where before I ever got there, and continue to for my company and pay my own salary.”

As the town hall attendees began to express outrage, Mullin continued: “This is a service. No one pays me to go. I do it as an honor, as a service.”

1. The mask is off

Republicans everywhere showing their true colors. Get a good look Republican voters, that right there is every single one of the people you vote for. Right and ready to fuck you because they got theirs. Next time vote Democratic.I mean what do have to lose? Probably nothing because that's just what all your previous votes have gotten you.

2. Everyone I've ever known from Oklahoma

has been lovely.

I don't understand why they elect the worst politicians in the country. It's like they never went to school.

And before you jump on Texas officeholders, we have some terrific ones in amongst the Gohmerts and Farentholds.

I can't think of any terrific ones from Oklahoma.
