Incoming Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin once bragged to a religious group that he hit his children to discipline them.
Mullin, a father of six who spent a year as a professional MMA fighter before becoming a senator, discussed his use of corporal punishment during a 2023 meeting with the "City Elders." The group, according to Mullin, is an activist group that tries to place "Godly people" into local positions of power.
