oklahoma state senator Markwayne Mullin will replace Kristi Noem As the new Secretary of Homeland Security, President Donald Trump announced today in a Truth social post. He noted that the change will take effect on March 31.
Mullin’s statement puts the spotlight on his beliefs and stance. he aligns with trump immigration issues. He holds conservative views and advocates strict border security and law enforcement. In January, he publicly supported Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has sounded the alarm on Mullin, pointing out his stance on racial issues.
“Markwayne Mullin can’t remember if we were at war this week. His state has one of the highest crime rates in the country, with a murder rate 40 percent higher than California,” Newsom wrote in his X profile. “He really tried to fight union workers in the hearings and tell them ‘shut up,'” he added, adding “I don’t want reality” during a Senate hearing on race. This mercurial, unstable man is now in charge of Homeland Security. “
Mullin also recently came under fire for defending a racist video of former President Barack Obama that was posted from President Donald Trump’s Truth Society profile.
Why is Mullin getting blamed for Trump’s Obama video?
Mullin’s actions in protesting the video in Trump’s profile sparked many people’s anger against him. In February, Mullin tried to grab a sign from Al Green, who was protesting the video, that read “Black people are not apes.”
That’s because videos in Trump’s profile depicted Democrats as different animals and the Obamas as apes, sparking outrage over racist connotations.
“The real House of Representatives would condemn Markie McWayne Mullin for this. You can disagree with someone, but you can’t touch someone else. Rep. Al Green’s mark is reasonable and a check on fugitive racism. Mullin’s actions aided and abetted this behavior,” one person wrote on X.
In another instance, Mullin said “Democrats only fuel racism” because they can’t refute Trump’s record.
