Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., accused independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders of displaying “wild” hypocrisy after the pair entered into a heated debate on the Senate floor Wednesday.
During a Senate HELP Committee hearing questioning Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Mullin called out Sanders for criticizing Schultz and pointed to the self-described democratic socialist’s own multi-million dollar net worth.
“If you can be a millionaire, why can’t Mr. Schultz and other CEOs be millionaires and be honest too?” Mullin asked Sanders during the hearing.
“That’s a lie,” the independent responded.
