Badger

Relentless, scrappy fighter who never backs down from confrontation.

Markwayne Mullin, the Oklahoma senator and former MMA fighter, embodies the badger's fearless, combative nature — famously challenging Teamsters president Sean O'Brien to a fistfight on the Senate floor in 2023. Badgers are tenacious, territorial, and unafraid to punch above their weight, mirroring Mullin's blue-collar toughness and willingness to get physical even in professional settings. Like the badger, he projects a no-nonsense, aggressive energy that his supporters see as strength and his critics see as recklessness.
