ICE Barbie Replacement Melts Down in Heated Confrontation [View all]

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.

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