AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) lashed out against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) over Obamacare during a Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday for President Trump's surgeon general pick, Casey Means, leading to a brief but tense exchange between the lawmakers.
Mullin used much of his time railing against a "broken" health care system, which he blamed on the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a law Sanders has supported, even while arguing it didn't go far enough.
