What a disgrace. O'Brien was threatened with violence publicly by Markwayne in a highly publicized interaction a few months ago. Now he's his biggest supporter. He is willingly letting himself be used by the far right Rs as a prop.
Are the Teamsters okay with this? How does the R party, let alone the wing of it that MW represents help their cause of workers' rights? Yeah, that was a rhetorical question.
