That's CRAZY!' Rand Paul Twists the Knife Into Unfit' Markwayne Mullin During Scorched Earth Fox News Hit

"Nobody really in the modern age that I know of other than Markwayne Mullin is justifying political scien-, political violence as, Oh well, we need a manly way to settle our differences and sometimes people just need to be punched in the mouth.' That, to me, is bizarre and I think makes him unfit to lead federal law enforcement."

"I think his anger issues that he has as an individual, and his celebration of the violence that happened to me, but also his justification of the violence when he's engaged in-, he was ready to have a fistfight in a committee. When they asked him, after he had cooled off days later, would he reject any of that? Does he regret any of it? And he said, no, he had no regrets."

"An apology might have had a chance, but he's had several chances. I talked to him privately and he referred to it that we had political differences. But if I wished violence on his family, that wouldn't be acceptable. And if he thinks that's acceptable where I had six ribs broken, my lung damaged, part of my lung removed, two pneumonias."

Senator Rand Paul publicly opposed Markwayne Mullin's nomination as DHS secretary, citing Mullin's lack of remorse for comments supporting the 2017 assault that injured Paul. During a confirmation hearing and subsequent Fox News appearance, Paul detailed how Mullin refused to apologize or express regret despite multiple opportunities. Paul emphasized that Mullin justified political violence by referencing historical examples and suggested physical confrontation was an acceptable way to resolve differences. Paul distinguished between legitimate political disagreement and endorsing violence, noting that Mullin's stance—celebrating an attack that broke six of Paul's ribs and damaged his lung—disqualifies him from leading federal law enforcement.
