Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) accuses Homeland Security Secretary Nominee Markwayne Mullin of applauding political violence in his opening statement during Mullin's confirmation hearing. "You told the media I was a freakin' snake and that you completely understood why I was assaulted," Paul says, referencing a 2017 incident in which a neighbor attacked him and broke his ribs. Paul questions whether Mullin is the right person to lead an agency "that struggles to accept limits to the proper use of force."
