Rand Paul blocked Katie Britt from introducing Markwayne Mullin at today’s hearing. Britt and Mullin are friends. Sen. Paul has a history with Mullin. They don’t get along.
At the McGrath Breakfast Group event in Tulsa on February 14, the anger reached a breaking point. Sen. Markwayne Mullin called Rand Paul a “freaking snake,” and that he understood completely why his neighbor did what he did. He made the comments because Paul constantly voted no to end the shutdown last November.
Paul doesn’t think Mullin has the temperament for the job of Secretary of Homeland Security. Paul thought Mullin should apologize to him for the comments he made. He thinks Mullin has anger issues.
Rand Paul and Markwayne Mullin spar during Mullin’s confirmation hearing:
Mullin: “I’m not apologizing for pointing out your character.”
Paul: “Good, good…You want the American public and the people up here that may or may not vote for you to know that you supported the… pic.twitter.com/n6WELvpres

He brought up Mullin, calling out Teamster’s union president Sean O’Brien as an example of his anger issues.
Rand Paul questioned whether DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin’s “anger issues” were a proper example for ICE and Border Patrol agents.

Mullin addressed the issue.

He needs to be primaried and gone.
Tom Homan says that Markwayne Mullin is the right man for the job. That carries a lot of weight with me.
Evidence has been offered that the candidate has a temper, and can be caustic. The question becomes: do those outweigh his good qualities? Obviously Trump thinks they do.
Rand Paul is a Snake. I can relate to that comment, as being a truth. I don’t know to much about Mullin, but Paul’s integrity is of a null. Rand Paul is a Snake.
Let’s see! No real name by commentator, just a hate Rand Paul moniker.
The comment if full of hate and name calling. No evidence is offered!!!
This is a site for discerning readers. Take your hate elsewhere.
He fell far and away from his fathers level of integrity. Voted constantly against most of trumps and MAGA initiatives. Voted with Dems on keeping the government shut down.
Proven Points Proven, wheres your points proven?. You don’t have any point.
He acts like McCain did when he was alive.
