Markwayne Mullin

Forward Blue -  After firing Kristi Noem, Trump is nominating Markwayne Mullin to run DHS. A department with 240,000 employees, including FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection.

Mullin has no national security experience. No law enforcement leadership background. No record of managing anything close to this scale.

The Senate confirmation process was designed to evaluate whether a nominee can actually do the job. Mullin cannot.

Remember when federal agents shot and killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this year? Mullin's answer was to block any new restrictions on federal agents. He called it "handcuffing" them.
