Markwayne Mullin has been confirmed as the new Department of Homeland Security Secretary. His confirmation has brought an old video back into public attention, in which he talks about his approach to disciplining his children. The video is from an October 2023 meeting.
According to HuffPost, Mullin, a father of six and former MMA fighter, spoke at a meeting with City Elders, a group he described as working to get “Godly people” elected to local positions. He talked about how he was raised “by the fear of a belt” and said he “deserved” the physical punishment he received from his father. He said this taught him “respect.”
