"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver handed it to Congress for their inability to function reasonably after working five weeks in a row.
He listed off the several fights started by Republicans this week, either by calling a colleague a Smurf, elbowing someone in the back, and even challenging a Teamster to a fight.
While most late-night hosts have had their go at the Republicans, unable to control their emotions, Oliver was able to talk about some things that were ignored by cable news.
Playing a clip of new Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) challenging Teamster president Sean O'Brien to a fight, he pointed to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) yelling at Mullin to "sit down."
"Now, that voice was Bernie Sanders and respectfully, Bernie, shut up!" Oliver exclaimed. "I mean, it is nice to hear you call for a ceasefire a lot of us thought you'd forgotten how to do that."
The audience gasped and joined in a collective "ohhhhhhhhhh." It was not, however, a boo.
"But shut up!" Oliver continued. "I want to see anabolic Jim Halpert get his ass handed to him because do you know who Sean O'Brien is? He's a fourth-generation Boston Teamster. He basically came out of the womb with brass knuckles. I want to see Sen. Anger Management get his john rocked by Bing Town's Mr. Clean. That's what I want!"

He went on to show O'Brien mimicking Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), who has sometimes been compared to the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn for his loud and pinched voice that echoes Capitol halls like an overly dramatic Tennessee Williams character played by a high school girl.
"It's so childish it's actually brilliant," Oliver continued. "O'Brien has the demeanor of a mob boss, the body of a fire hydrant, and the insults of a five-year-old. And amazingly, it still wasn't over."
The host then showed the clip of Mullin revealing to a podcaster that he's "not above biting."
"Wait. You don't care where you bite?" Oliver questioned. "There's simply no other way to interpret that than Mullin is going to bite him in the d--k and how is that tough-guy behavior? 'Watch out he bites' is not what you say about a senator that everyone respects. It's what you say about a three-year-old named Dylan after he's had two Capri Suns."
But the thing that annoyed him the most came from Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) staffer who claimed: "Today's another example of why Congress shouldn't be in session for five weeks straight. Weird things happen."
"To which I'd say, totally but also, did you know that most people, and this is true, work ten times that many weeks in a row and manage not to physically or emotionally assault their colleagues?" Oliver asked.
