Soon-to-be Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin boasted about spanking his children as a form of discipline in a video that has resurfaced as he was confirmed to replace Kristi Noem.
Mullin, a father of six and former MMA fighter, made the comments during an October 2023 meeting of the City Elders, a group he said aims to get “Godly people” elected to school boards, city councils and other positions.
He also recalled threatening his daughter’s boyfriend, whom he described as a “good kid,” saying to him: “If I ever see you kiss her in front of me, I’m dragging your face across the asphalt.”
“And that’s a true story; I told him that,” Mullin added.
