New DHS Head Boasts About Spanking Children
As incoming Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin faces confirmation, resurfaced comments reveal his endorsement of physical discipline for his children. In a video from October 2023, Mullin, a father of six and former MMA fighter, spoke to a group aiming to elect “Godly people” to local office. He recounted spanking his children and threatening his daughter’s boyfriend, stating, “If I ever see you kiss her in front of me, I’m dragging your face across the asphalt.” Mullin also shared anecdotes about physically disciplining his daughters, noting they would forgive him shortly after, and described his son’s self-punishing reactions to discipline.
