Markwayne Mullin

“You've got to build a relationship. You can't just deal with people when it's business. If it is, then you always have to assume that they have an angle when they come at you.”

“When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle this process and the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. America doesn't cower behind political correctness. It defiantly and courageously moves forward, with its history as a reminder of where we have been.”

“You've got to respect people; you've got to understand where they come from. We know where people in Oklahoma come from - that's why we get along.”

“Oklahoma has a respect for our neighbors. That's the Oklahoma standard.”

“My wife is the most loving person that you can ever imagine.”

“The idea of having to match a pair of socks to your tie or to your pants just doesn't make any sense to me... With boots, you don't have to worry about it. Nobody sees your socks.”

“As an American, you have the right to protest me or another individual or a group, but I believe that protesting the United States for the mistakes it has made - when it gave you the freedom to do so in the first place - is disrespectful.”

“The politicians said Dr. Tom Coburn couldn't deliver babies when he got elected to the U.S. Senate.”

“Native Americans have faced centuries of atrocities to their people, their land, and their culture - all under various presidents who took an oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

“We've all lost our temper at some time. Unfortunately, not all of us have done it in a public setting.”

“A person gets pushed down; they think they're being 'body-slammed.' There's really not any certain thing - that came from more fake wrestling - you know, 'the body slam,' being picked up in the air and thrown to the ground. It's all in someone's interpretation of what someone thinks a 'body slam' really is.”

“Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the average American family of four will receive a $1,182 tax cut. Imagine what you could do with $1,182 more in your pocket!”

“America is - and will always be - a success story. We have African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and members of other ethnic groups elected to positions inside our governments.”

“I'm working alongside the White House and other members in the House to lessen the tax burden that currently weighs on so many Oklahomans.”

“I know if you get mad, and in a world with all the competitors I've been around in my life, either from fighting or wrestling or other sports, you have to learn to breathe.”

“I'm paying more taxes inside my company and personally than I'll ever receive from Congress.”

“Apparently it's acceptable for members of Congress to own stock in companies we regulate in Congress, but somehow, our plumbing company crosses some line.”

“I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.”

“In an imperfect world, full of imperfect leaders, there are countless statues that may not live up to our American values.”

“You live this life being selfish, you're not going to enjoy it like you will when you open your heart and your home up.”
