    Mullin has been going on a media tour in the wake of the near-altercation. During an interview with Sean Hannity, the Fox News host reminisced to Mullin about his rough and tumble youth. ā€œI donā€™t think there was a single day that we were playing sports where we didnā€™t drop the gloves or, you know, have a brief interlude of, you know, throwing fists and it would be all be over,ā€

    ā€œEmotionally stunted manchildā€ would have been more succinct.

      He didnā€™t go a day without fighting as a kid? Wtf is wrong with him. Thatā€™s psychotic. I had maybe 2 or 3 fights during my entire childhood lol. Maybe heā€™s just an asshole

        Heā€™s lying, and playing that ā€œback in my day we werenā€™t snowflakes like those liberals are todayā€ card that plays well with fox news audiences.

        Doesnā€™t have to be remotely true, just has to paint a picture that confirms the bias.

        Of course when push came to shove to actually confront someone to protect people he hid like a little bitch behind the chairsā€¦

        ā€¦and now he was waiting for someone to hold him back from his bravado - it ended up being Bernie who couldnā€™t hold back a feisty kitten if he tried.

        But itā€™s ok this guy learned how to act tough convincingly in wrestling - so he went on the media circus.
