Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Rand Paul confronted fellow Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin during a confirmation hearing Wednesday, challenging the Oklahoma Republican over past remarks suggesting he understood why Paul had been assaulted by a neighbor in 2017.
"Tell me to my face why you think I deserved to be assaulted from behind. Have six ribs broken and a damaged lung," Paul said during Mullin's nomination hearing to lead the Department of Homeland Security. "Tell it to me today. Tell the world why you believe I deserve to be assaulted."
