The confirmation hearing for Donald Trump’s pick to replace Kristi Noem as the head of the Department of Homeland Security got off to a heated start when Sen. Rand Paul accused Sen. Markwayne Mullin of applauding his violent assault.
The Kentucky senator sparked the fierce back-and-forth when he challenged Mullin to “tell it to my face” during his opening statement as chair of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
“You told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood if I had been assaulted,” Paul slammed Mullin. “I was shocked. It would justify and celebrate this violent assault.”
