Senator Markwayne Mullin had a major meltdown Wednesday as senators from both sides of the aisle questioned him about a supposedly classified mission he traveled on as member of Congress—and in doing so, may have threatened his speedy confirmation vote.
It seems the only thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on is that Mullin’s claims about a classified mission stink to high heaven. During Mullin’s Senate confirmation hearing, Senators Gary Peters and Rand Paul pressed the Oklahoma Republican on his claims about having received combat experience abroad, even though he never enlisted in the U.S. military.
Mullin claimed that he couldn’t disclose any information about the mission unless the senators sought special clearance—but he wouldn’t say from whom or what agency.
Right, because the spook agencies like to send sitting congressmen on classified missions for which they have had no training.
He's just another fucking poseur, a stolen-valor dude who is saying "it's classified" to cover up his lies. Mullen's a loudmouthd pussy who relies on his physical size to bully people.
I have to hand it to Trump: It was a hard task to find a nominee for DHS Secretary who was less-qualified than Kristi Noem, but Trump pulled it off.
