Cultist Markwayne Mullin Wins OK GOP Senate Runoff

August 24, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin won Tuesday’s GOP primary runoff for one of Oklahoma’s U.S. Senate seats, making him a likely favorite to win the seat U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe is leaving early after nearly 30 years in office.

Mullin, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, defeated former Speaker of the Oklahoma House and banking executive T.W. Shannon after the two advanced from a 13-candidate Republican primary field in June. Because Inhofe is retiring early, Mullin will serve the remaining four years left on Inhofe’s term.

Mullin, who topped the primary field with nearly 44 percent of the vote, earned former President Donald Trump’s endorsement shortly after the primary.

Mullin last appeared on JMG when he introduced a bill to expunge Trump’s second impeachment for inciting the Capitol riot. Mullin, a former MMA fighter, appeared on JMG in September 2021 when he threatened US Embassy staff who objected to his mission to personally rescue five US citizens in Afghanistan.
