"We plan on the hearing next Wednesday and the vote on Thursday, if all the paperwork is completed. They have to do an FBI background check, and they have to do some kind of Office of Ethics—so two things that are required for everybody."
"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."

Markwayne Mullin's nomination as Secretary of Homeland Security is scheduled for the following Wednesday with a vote on Thursday, contingent on completing required paperwork.
