Mullin: my term limits pledge didn't matter because "my life experience changed"

Congressman Markwayne Mullin, now running for U.S. Senate after Jim Inhofe announced his retirement, famously made - and broke - a term limits pledge in 2018 when he ran for his fourth term in the U.S. House (he's now finishing up his fifth). Reporter Reese Gorman of The Frontier caught up with Mullin at a recent event, and asked a good question: I asked Mullin about him breaking his own self-imposed term limit pledge and now running for Senate, here’s his response: pic.twitter.com/5NmgwyGCvk — Reese Gorman (@reesejgorman) March 5, 2022 Mullin has had four years to come up with an answer for why he broke his word. "My life experience changed" is apparently the best he's got. How reassuring. Some of the reactions to this clip were spot on: Possibly the worst answer I’ve ever heard as to why someone would break a term limits pledge Cc: @USTermLimits https://t.co/8ITTsM4zxg — Chris Wilson (@WilsonWPA) March 5, 2022 Essentially, I was all for term limits before I found out what a cool gig politics is. Now, you would have to take this job from my cold, dead hands. https://t.co/cPRvqSPR5M — Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) March 5, 2022 Good Lord. MarkWayne Mullin is really bad at this. #OKSen https://t.co/DmtnCw3bK3 — Abigail Prescott (@RaisingCamelot) March 5, 2022 Watch MarQwayne not answer the question, tell us he didn’t know a thing about politics and something about a suit and his wedding. And today, he still doesn’t know what he is doing. So by golly, he’s going to keep on lying and running for office! @RepMullin https://t.co/gwYHcySDHM — RaiseVibration (@imahobapeace) March 5, 2022 Liar @MarkwayneMullin @RepMullin offers two excuses why it's totally OK he broke his word to voters: -it's OK he lied cuz most voters don't care according to him -it's OK he lied cuz he had no idea what he was talking about when he made the promise 🙄#OKSen #Oklahoma #GOPLies https://t.co/pGlIasjFK1 — Mathew Helman -- go @JCisnerosTX & @JamieforOregon (@MatHelman) March 5, 2022 Remember this answer any time you hear Mullin give his word, or pledge, or say he'll do any thing. His life experience might change afterwards, so don't count on him keeping with it.Read more » by Jamison Faught - March 22, 2022 at 04:00PM
