The top Republican on the Senate committee considering Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to run the Department of Homeland Security criticized his “machismo” at the confirmation hearing on March 18. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) used his opening statement to launch a withering critique of Mullin (R-Oklahoma) for saying he understood why Paul’s neighbor violently attacked him in 2017. He then played a video compilation that included a fiery 2023 exchange between Mullin and the leader of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Sean O’Brien. “I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force?” Paul said.
