Senator MarkWayne Mullin suggested dueling as a legitimate way for sitting U.S. senators to settle disputes, citing historical precedent including the brutal caning of Senator Charles Sumner, who was beaten unconscious on the Senate floor while another man held a gun on anyone who tried to intervene. Rand Paul pushed back hard, pointing out that dueling has been illegal for over 170 years and that citing the Sumner caning as precedent is a genuinely dangerous position for a sitting senator to take.
The confrontation escalated into a direct, on-the-record Senate hearing exchange where Rand Paul laid out in painful detail how Mullin had publicly applauded the violent assault on Paul by his neighbor, an attack that left Paul with six broken ribs, a damaged lung requiring partial removal, and a week in the hospital. Paul called Mullin out face to face, demanding he either correct the record or repeat the claim that the assault was justified, right there in the hearing room. Mullin stayed silent. Paul also questioned whether a man with documented anger issues and a pattern of glorifying political violence is the right person to oversee 250,000 Department of Homeland Security employees including ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Hawk breaks down the political theater, the historical context, and what it says about MAGA tough-guy culture when the answer to a policy disagreement is a flintlock pistol at 20 paces.
