Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security, faced fellow senators on Wednesday at a heated confirmation hearing. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., the chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, used his opening statement to confront Mullin for reportedly calling him a “freaking snake” and saying he “completely” understands why a neighbor assaulted Paul in 2017. #DHS #randpaul #markwaynemullin #senate
