"So, today, Markwayne Mullin, I'll give you a chance. Tell it to my face. Tell the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken, and a damaged lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it."
"There's a difference between right and wrong. Every one knows this is wrong and few have spoken up. Rand Paul had to have part of his lung removed after he was assaulted. Unreal we would promote someone who advertises violence as the answer when they have a political disagreement."
"As far as my terms snake in the grass, sir, I work around this room to try to fix problems. I've worked with many people in this room. Seems like you fight Republicans more than you work with us."
Rep. Nancy Mace attacked Markwayne Mullin's nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security, sharing Sen. Rand Paul's concerns about Mullin's past conduct. Paul, who was assaulted by his neighbor in 2017 and suffered six broken ribs and lung damage, confronted Mullin during his confirmation hearing about previously calling him a "freaking snake" and mocking the attack. Mullin did not apologize, instead defending his character and claiming he addresses disagreements directly rather than behind people's backs. Mace condemned Mullin's response, arguing that promoting someone who "advertises violence as the answer" to political disagreements is fundamentally wrong, and criticized the lack of Republican opposition to his nomination.
