Things got predictably entertaining and bizarre when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and far-left Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) got in a massive, live on TV feud during a hearing on Thursday, June 25. The shouting match that resulted consisted of Rep. DeLauro pointing at Mullin and screaming at him, demanding the chairman of the committee do something about him.
Particularly, the woke and purple-haired DeLauro shrilly screeched that Chairman Mark Amodei (R-NV) needed to “put him in his place” as he clashed with her regarding Trump Administration border policies. Such came during a House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.
For example, at one point during the hearing, DeLauro insisted that the Trump Administration had instituted a policy that meant that “3,900 children were separated from their family.” Interrupting her, DHS Secretary Mullin snapped, “450,000 kids were lost under the Biden administration, and you didn’t say a word about that.”
That set her off. Pointing and yelling at him, the angry Democrat declared, “Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, do not interrupt.” Secretary Mullin punched back rather than sitting and taking it. He said, snapping at her, “Don’t you point your finger at me.”
The angry Democrat kept it up, angrily declaring, “I will point my finger at you.” Secretary Mullin, snapping back rather than taking it yet again, noted, “Don’t be a hypocrite. You should be as upset about the 450,000 kids that were lost [under President Joe Biden].”
DeLauro then bizarrely interjected, “I am upset.” But Secretary Mullin didn’t relent. Instead, he pressed further, and snapped that she hadn’t said a single thing about the nearly half-million children that went missing under the Biden Administration, saying, “You didn’t say a word about it. For four years you never said a word.”
At that point, the Chairman of the Subcommittee chimed in and said, trying to disrupt the angry back and forth. He said, “Mr. Secretary.” That’s when the angry representative said, trying to get Amodei to chime in, “Could you put him in place?” Amodei, at that point, turned back to DeLauro fired back at her. He said, “Well, don’t yell at me.”

At that point, Mullin chimed in to get a jab at Rep. DeLauro. “You should be put in your place,” he said. The chairman, getting annoyed with the situation, said, “We are going to have something resembling order here.” He then added, turning to Mullin, “If you would like to respond later on there are methods to do that but it’s not a who can talk louder into the mic.”
Mullin fired off about DeLauro anyway, saying, “I will not sit here and listen to her lie and accuse something this ridiculous.” DeLauro, snapping back at him and keeping the fight up, said, “Do not accuse me of lying, do not.” Mullin bluntly told her, “Then don’t.”
DeLauro then went back to rambling, saying, “There is concern for children across the board. We care deeply about what is happening to children. I went to the border and I watched children in those fenced in places years ago and what was happening to them. So, I have a long history, Mr. Secretary, in this area. 3,900 kids were separated.”
