ICE Barbie Replacement Melts Down in Heated Confrontation

[Zorro]

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s appearance on Capitol Hill devolved into a yelling match, prompting the Republican chairman to angrily admonish the top Trump official.

Mullin, who served as a member of Congress before being tapped to replace Kristi Noem in the Trump Cabinet, was testifying before a House Appropriations Committee subcommittee when he got in a combative exchange with Democratic Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro.

The Connecticut congresswoman was speaking about how it was the first Trump administration’s policy to separate children from their families at the U.S. border when Mullin interrupted her remarks from the witness chair to make a snide remark about the Biden administration.

“Let me just say this to you, sir, again it is my time,” DeLauro said. “3,900 children were separated from their families—"

The congresswoman tried to continue, but Mullin cut in again to lob further accusations against the Biden administration.

1. Say what you will about Noem (and I've said plenty)

but she maintained her composure and was more compliant with Senate rules than Mullin. Mullin was downright rude and had to be warned by the R leader for breaking the hearing rules according to what I read on Aaron Rupar's bluesky. But he's a male, so his little temper tantrum is seen as a sign of strength.

2. He literally had to have a stress ball to squeeze so he wouldn't act out again

Look at the video. He has assaulted other Congress members before.

3. Markwayne Mullin.... a he-man, a big man, someone you have to look up to. He has a box.

4. Short Ice Barbie is a joke.

He is just another trump appointee totally unqualified for the position. But he knows how to run his mouth, and how to be loud, which are two qualities trump likes.
