markwayne mullin Draws The Line—Refuses To Hold The Door Open For Man He Says ‘Didn’t Even Say Thanks’ During Tense Capitol Hallway Standoff
AITA for letting the door slam in a lobbyist’s face, or is common courtesy dead in D.C.? Senator markwayne mullin is going viral after a Capitol Hill staffer leaked audio of him refusing to hold the door for a well-known energy lobbyist, reportedly muttering, “You didn’t even say ‘bless you’ when I sneezed last week, Paul.” Critics say the move is petty, but Mullin’s office insists it’s a principled stand against ‘performative politeness.’ TL;DR: Politician uses hallway etiquette to own the libs (or the lobbyists—same thing).
