Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) confronted Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) at his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Homeland Security for “never having the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified.”
He added: “Today you’ll have your chance. Tell it to my face.”
More: “I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force.”
