BREAKING:
Today Trump fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary, and replaced her with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK).
Mullin has no homeland security experience. What he DOES have: violent threats, recent media disasters, absolute Trump loyalty.
This is alarming. Thread 🧵
#Noem #Mullin #Trump #DHS
Lmfao this isn't gonna be Bovino for Homan thing where the latter is just as evil but he's better at hiding it
Mullin is one of the dumbest pro-Trump sycophants out there, he will absolutely do insanely illegal and unethical shit while bragging about it

Only Trump would replace an unhinged dog killer with Mullin, who makes a stiff motel bedspread look intelligent
💯 I agree except I think Mullin is worse, because he's a better liar.
Filing deadline in OK is April 3. If Rand Paul wanted to do something awesome he’d wait until after April 3 to hold a hearing. That way either Mullin doesn’t file for reelection & also risks not being confirmed, or hedges & files for reelection, clears the primary, & could leave Repubs w no nominee
Mr. Mullin may be the penultimate moron in the U.S. Senate, out-thinking only the husk that is Senator Tuberville, but helped by enough lip filler and hair extensions, he can be augmented with the intimate advice and constant companionship of Cory Lewandowski, a committed consigliere to DHS.
Here's Sen Markwayne Mullin who Trump just picked to head Dept of Homeland Security babbling "we are not at war" and then claiming Iran started the war. Mullin never served in military -he ran his family's plumbing business and started a steakhouse. Would you trust him to keep your family safe?!

So Corey Lewandowski, er… I mean Kristi Noem… has been taken to the gravel pit, but fret not. Two-First-Names Mullin is ready to protect the motherland. If he ever faces a terror threat, he will pretend to hide to lure them close, then get in their face and tell them to stand their butts up! 🤷♂️
A Mullin appointment will continue Kristi Noem's ways, & I can also speak to his cruelty to healthcare that I have witnessed personally since 2018. He's absolutely devoid of any compassion for healthcare access & that says what you NEED to know.🤬
If Mullin’s nomination hits turbulence, Trump can just remind senators that he can keep on Noem until her successor is confirmed. No senator wants that.
John Fetterman reminding us that he is a Democrat in Name Only. "“I’m not sure how many fellow Democrats will vote to support our colleague Senator Mullin as the next DHS Secretary, but I am AYE.”
The Republican Senate Caucus learning they'll have to dump money into ANOTHER Senate race in a terrible general electoral environment for them cause Mullin kissed Trump's ass the hardest:
Maybe not discussed much but with Sen. Mullin leaving, until he is replaced,
the GOP margin the House is now 52R-47D, and they have just just a two vote margin (counting VP Vance too as tie breaker). Lose three votes and the vote fails.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
“NBC's Kristen Welker asked Mullin what should happen to babies born in the United States whose parents are deported, given that the children are U.S. citizens under current law.
'Well, they should go where their parents are,’ said Mullin, of Oklahoma.”
“When Tapper pressed Mullin on whether Good’s actions warranted her being killed, the senator said yes, repeatedly insisting that her vehicle was being used in a so-called ‘lethal manner.’”
Tapper said footage “appears to show Ross firing at the side of Good’s car … Mullin dismissed the footage.”
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK-02) 1-8-18 (Member of Energy/Commmerce Sub-Health Committee) Q: Where does Rep. stand on CHIP? A: Wants CHIP Reauthorized. Q: Would Rep. sign clean CHIP bill? A:Supports CHIP bill w/off-sets. Supported every repeal of healthcare. Doesn't believe an ACA fix such as Collins proposal would be approved in the House. Feels focus should be on DACA and infrastructure. Was a no on Medicare extension deal.
My meeting with Congressman Markwayne Mullin on 1-8-18. I ALWAYS take notes. SHARE EVERYWHERE! A Mullin appointment will be devastating to us ALL!
Once I stopped laughing that Trump replaced Noem with one of the three dumbest senators, I started thinking about FEMA. Will he continue its destruction? Last year we got really lucky on the natural disaster front. I doubt this year will be the same. Will Mullin focus on ICE alone or save FEMA?
Dude is constantly letting the brain damage talk.
That’s the same excuse the Senate used when they confirmed Rubio 99-0. “He’s one of us!”
I see Fetter-Manchin is at it again 🙃
fetterman needs to find somewhere else to be.
*adds another post-it onto the skewer of post-its listing reasons why one shouldn't trust Fetterman*
Here is Trump's new pick to be Secty of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin getting so rattled in a Senate hearing by union leader Sean O'Brien that he threatens to fight him. Imagine how much Mullin would freak out in a real crisis?!!
Any senator who votes for Mullin cannot be trusted.
Replacing Noem with Mullin is like replacing Aileen Wuornos with John Wayne Gacy.
correct
there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard
Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.
Kristi Noem will not be missed, but don't get it twisted.
Her replacement, Senator Mullin, is the same guy who bought between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in oil companies and a defense contractor before Trump's invasion of Venezuela.
He's just another corrupt yes-man.
