Markwayne Mullin
RAs a kid from Westville, it has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve the people of Oklahoma for the past thirteen years in both the House and Senate. I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day. President Trump ran on restoring law and order, and he quickly delivered the most secure U.S. border in American history. I look forward to supporting @POTUS’ mission to safeguard the American people and defend the homeland.
🚨 UPDATE: War Powers Resolution vote is scheduled at 4pm ET today. Barack Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in at least 7 countries in 2016 without a word from Congress. I won’t hamstring President Trump. Unlike many before him, @POTUS is the ‘peace through strength’ President. He has earned our trust just 4.5 days into this mission. As Democrat Senator John Fetterman rightfully acknowledged, the President must notify Congress within 48 hours of military action. He did that. If Congress does not declare war, the President must terminate the use of armed forces within 60-90 days. 106 hours into this conflict, President Trump is well within his authority as Commander in Chief. I’ll vote NO on Democrat Tim Kaine’s resolution.
Good time to clarify: There are TWO "Mullin" names in Congress. Myself in the U.S. Senate, and a California Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Same last name-- very different records.
Apparently, the "moderate" Democrat thinks: “God is non-binary," Jesus Christ was a "radical feminist," "white skin gives every white American immunity from the virus," and our U.S. border should be like "a welcome mat." Oh, and they're for "trans" abortion.
MULLIN: “I don’t remember you saying ANYTHING in 2016 when Barack Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in Syria, Pakistan, Libya—to name a few.” “President Trump is doing his job as Commander in Chief… but there is no way on God’s green earth you can give @POTUS any credit.” 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/T6DLVcRF7N
Senators are headed to the classified White House briefing on targeted military combat operations in Iran. It's worth noting: @SecRubio has briefed Congress more times as a cabinet official than he received in four years in the Gang of 8 under Joe Biden.
Your weekly reminder that the same Democrats calling on @SecRubio to resign... unanimously voted to confirm him 99-0 (@VP had departed the Senate).
The U.S. Senate must pass the SAVE America Act. I'm a co-sponsor of the bill, and I'll be a YES vote.
Angry liberals who can’t rely on facts or reason love to say anything President Trump does is “illegal” or “racist.” …Including taking out an Islamic terrorist who kills Americans. Here’s what the law actually says about @POTUS’ authority— and how it applies to Iran. https://t.co/U5R2zM4KOk
Appeasement never works. https://t.co/MpwTbPPOGi
Our men and women in uniform are serving our country with honor, bravery, and selfless sacrifice. To the parents and families of our beloved U.S. service members in harm’s way during Operation Epic Fury— we are praying for you and with you. Freedom is not free.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39 NIV
MULLIN: “If this was about regime change, we could’ve done that during the 12 Day War. We wanted diplomacy to work up until the last hour… we gave him many chances. The truth is, the Ayatollah was never going to give up on his dream of having a nuclear Iran.” https://t.co/pwlPnVkLOM
MULLIN: “We are not at war with Iran. What we’re doing is being very proactive on a threat to the United States… after 9/11 we made a promise— never again would we be caught flat footed.” https://t.co/QvZbo82Dss
Biden’s foreign policy was to apologize, appease, and send a pile of cash to the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. Those days are over. Tonight, we’re praying for the U.S. military personnel in the region, and the Iranian people fighting for freedom. https://t.co/3xPEcyGCLt
Some people noticed this moment during the State of the Union this week. https://t.co/O1PD5fKItm
The previous administration weaponized COVID to divide us and silence free speech--that's exactly why people like @SecKennedy and @CaseyMeansMD are here to listen to our citizens instead of censoring them, restore transparency, and Make America Healthy Again.
CNN may not like it, but rebuilding is possible. The Ayatollah’s ‘death to America’ regime is a threat to the United States. We always bet on diplomacy, but if @POTUS decides to strike Iran— I’ll support his decision as Commander in Chief. https://t.co/kMeGedl4zV
MULLIN: “ACA is unaffordable.” BERNIE SANDERS: “You’re attacking me.” MULLIN: “If I cared about your opinion, I would ask you, but I don’t—you’re part of the problem—because you’ve been sitting here longer than I’ve even been alive!” 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/Ug6ogSwYPr
We met @TeamUSA’s men’s ice hockey team last night. Just awesome.🥇🇺🇸🔥 https://t.co/EW1iliCJtL
Last night’s State of the Union was a victory for common sense— and a true celebration of America. My thoughts: https://t.co/CEHgMz7kt3
“Stand up if you agree: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” - @POTUS
$18 trillion in new investments. Amazing.
Starting off on @SquawkCNBC ahead of @POTUS’ State of the Union tonight: https://t.co/cPYPDz9F8O
America cannot allow a nuclear Iranian regime. It’s a matter of national security. President Trump may speak to this critical issue tonight during his speech. https://t.co/fUO1b88QVM
