Markwayne Mullin at DHS confirmation hearing for alleged "freaking snake" comment

Story by Kerry Breen • 35m

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul fiercely criticized Senator Markwayne Mullin during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday, calling him a "man with anger issues" after Mullin previously called Paul a "freaking snake" and that Mullin said he understood why a neighbor attacked Paul in 2017.

Mullin is appearing before the Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs after President Trump nominated him to replace Kristi Noem as the Secretary of Homeland Security. Mr. Trump said earlier in March that Noem would leave the position at the end of the month. ...............................

In Mullin's opening remarks, he addressed Paul's comments directly, but he did not apologize.

"I said I could understand, because of the behavior you were having, that I can understand why your neighbor did what he did," Mullin said. "As far as my terms and snake in the grass, sir, I work around this room to try to fix problems. I worked with many people in this room. Seems like you fight Republicans more than you work with us. I did address those remarks. I did explain your gimmicks by the amendment you put forth." ...............................

Good lord, Rand Paul is playing the video that should have ended the tenure of Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

In a sane world, his nomination would be COOKED, as we're shown his violent, unfit temper.

But this world is INSANE.

1. Holy Sh*t, "Mullin said he understood why a neighbor attacked Paul in 2017"

Seriously?

[Jilly_in_VA]

6. Well, I do too

but I wouldn't have said it out loud in a hearing on my possible employment, FFS. The man has no couth and the manners of a mad dog. Just like Shitler.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Yes, that's what i meant. ;/nt

[chowder66]

2. These people are not befitting of the offices they hold or seek to hold. They just lower the bar.

3. He's a barely literate goober

The epitome of maga. An unqualified buffoon with no business anywhere near government. He’s proven that many times. Seriously Oklahoma, is this your best and brightest?

[Captain Zero]

4. I'm not sure even Indiana could catch up

with this guy.

[generalbetrayus]

17. Oklahoma's state motto: Oklahoma - We're the Mississippi

of the Plains states.

5. "Trump loves watching Mullin on TV and often praises him, which was a factor in this decision (nominating him)."

- Kaitlan Collins (CNN news anchor). Trump loves Markwayne's violent temper, particularly when he attacks his "enemies."

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. He also said he "regretted" calling Alex Pretti a "deranged individual".

Sure ya do, buddy. Sure ya do, now that it could threaten your future employment. But the words are out of your mouth now, and people have LONG memories. This guy has a loud mouth and no manners whatsoever. Even if he's confirmed, one or the other will get him out of there in six months. He's just as crude as his former employment would suggest. Dumb Okie.

9. trump scoured the earth to find someone worse than Noem.

Mission: Accomplished

[Bayard]

16. Out of control temper

Just who you want managing ICE employees who have out of control tempers. This will end even worse than Noem.

[nwliberalkiwi]

10. Stab In The Back

Local NPR said that some Democratic Senators will vote for confirmation---WTF is wrong with the Democrats!!! This seems like the MO of the Democrats. I've been a several decades long Democrat, but I'm seriously thinking of becoming an Independent!!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. This is why we can't have nice things

[Katinfl]

15. This is what infuriates me the most about the Dems.

We all know if the situation were reversed, they would not get a single republican vote. Yet they turn around and vote for people absolutely not qualified. Then they regret it.

[mdbl]

11. The GOP Senate is not qualified to confirm candidates

They are too stupid. Otherwise the really stupid candidates put in by a really stupid president wouldn't get confirmed.

[SergeStorms]

12. Not only that......

but who wants to see "plumber's butt" in the DHS? Besides Krusty Gnome, that is.

[Katinfl]

14. Does not make any difference what he said to Paul.

Paul will vote to confirm.

[Mysterian]

18. Senators should ask Mullin

if he would be willing to discuss his "secret mission" to a war zone in a closed session. Just to watch that lying motherfucker stolen valor asshole squirm.

[JustKay]

19. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.....
