    Looking at his Wikipedia page it seems like this has been an on going thing with these 2.

    On March 8, 2023, Mullin accused Teamsters president Sean O’Brien of “intimidation” during a Senate HELP Committee hearing on the PRO Act, claiming that O’Brien was forcing union members to pay dues and alleging that union leaders had attempted to unionize his plumbing business

    On June 26, 2023, Mullin challenged O’Brien to a fight for charity via Twitter in response to an earlier tweet from O’Brien.

    On November 14, 2023, when O’Brien again appeared before the committee, Mullin challenged him to fight, saying, “you want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here” and demanding that O’Brien “stand [his] butt up”.
