US EditionRand Paul confronts Markwayne Mullin over ‘snake’ remark; says he has ‘anger issues’
Sen. Rand Paul accused Sen. Markwayne Mullin of condoning political violence and lacking the temperament to lead Homeland Security, citing Mullin's refusal to apologize and past aggressive behavior.
- On March 18, 2026, Sen. Rand Paul confronted Sen. Markwayne Mullin at Mullin's confirmation hearing, pressing him over remarks that he understood why a neighbor attacked Paul in 2017.
- The dispute traces back to Mullin's February remark that he 'understood completely why his neighbor did what he did', which Paul tied to the 2017 assault that broke six ribs and damaged his lung.
- During his opening remarks, Mullin declined to apologize and said 'I can set it aside' to Paul, asking for a chance to earn his respect.
- The committee is set to vote on Thursday on Mullin's nomination, and even if Paul opposes, Sen. John Fetterman has pledged support, making advancement to the full Senate likely.
- Paul warned that Mullin, President Trump's nominee to replace Kristi Noem, should not oversee ICE and Border Patrol due to his 'anger issues' during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
