Mullin: my term limits pledge didn't matter because "my life experience changed"

Congressman Markwayne Mullin, now running for U.S. Senate after Jim Inhofe announced his retirement, famously broke - a term limits pledge in 2018 when he ran for his fourth term in the U.S. House (he's now finishing up his fifth).

Reporter Reese Gorman of The Frontier caught up with Mullin at a recent event, and asked a good question:

I asked Mullin about him breaking his own self-imposed term limit pledge and now running for Senate, here’s his response: pic.twitter.com/5NmgwyGCvk

Mullin has had four years to come up with an answer for why he broke his word. "My life experience changed" is apparently the best he's got. Such a lame excuse, and very confidance building for his future commitments.

Some of the reactions to this clip were spot on:

Possibly the worst answer I’ve ever heard as to why someone would break a term limits pledge

Essentially, I was all for term limits before I found out what a cool gig politics is. Now, you would have to take this job from my cold, dead hands. https://t.co/cPRvqSPR5M

Watch MarQwayne not answer the question, tell us he didn’t know a thing about politics and something about a suit and his wedding. And today, he still doesn’t know what he is doing. So by golly, he’s going to keep on lying and running for office! @RepMullin https://t.co/gwYHcySDHM

Liar @MarkwayneMullin @RepMullin offers two excuses why it's totally OK he broke his word to voters:
-it's OK he lied cuz most voters don't care according to him
-it's OK he lied cuz he had no idea what he was talking about when he made the promise

Remember this answer any time you hear Mullin give his word, or pledge, or say he'll do any thing. His life experience might change afterwards, so don't count on him keeping with it.
