Good news.
The Democrats who crossed over:
- John Fetterman (PA)
- Martin Heinrich (NM)
RAND PAUL (R-KY) voted against
The chamber ERUPTED in applause!
Great news about Mullin.
Next step: Trump should call John Thune into the Oval Office for a little chat about pushing the Save Act through.
I’ve always thought Rand Paul would be there if we really needed him, but more and more I am starting to hate him.
Rand Paul may as well switch parties.
Only because there isn’t an Asshole Party. (He could be the charter member though)>
So now we are one Republican senator short, who is going to take his place and how long before he is seated.
Too bad, we shouldn’t even have a George Bush’s II Homeland Security.

Markwayne Mullin, a Republican Congressman (now Senator) from Oklahoma who was present during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, has defended the actions of the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.
Key Statements and Perspective:

Witnessed the Event: Mullin was in close proximity when Babbitt was shot while attempting to climb through a broken window into a secured area.
Comforted the Officer: According to reports, Mullin comforted the officer afterward, stating he gave him a hug and said, “Sir, you did what you had to do”.

Emotionally Distraught: Mullin recounted that the officer was “physically and emotionally distraught” following the incident.

Something in the kentucky water. Makes me shy away from moving there, bur Indiana and Ohio do not appear any better.
Another man who could easily by his underwear at the Big & Tall Men’s Store. WTG.
GREAT
Mullen is not on our side. He is not to be trusted to uphold the laws He is clueless as to what we’re facing. He will throw MAGA under the bus to please the Uniparty
I don’t recall the details, but I do recall that he has turned in MAGA at least once in a big way.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is facing renewed scrutiny after a resurfaced video shows him defending Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the January 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Yep. He’s only 99% MAGA. We need purity. Throw him to the wolves.
Jeeesh.
EC
Mullin has not one minute of serving in any type of law enforcement. Never served in the military, never was a cop. He’s also a RINO that has voted for Thune to be senate leader. And yes he said Ashley Babbitt was at fault and her murderer was a hero. Trump needs to get away from picking one of his friends with no experience for his cabinet. He’s always did it and it comes back to bite him in the ass.
Not interested.
