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.
