Senator Mark Wayne Mullin, Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, is under scrutiny after video from his confirmation hearing went viral. Mullin, who has never served in the United States military, claimed to have gone on classified military missions, undergone SERE training, and experienced the "smell of war" during a 2015-2016 congressional trip.
SERE training, designed to prepare soldiers for capture and interrogation, is one of the most grueling programs in the U.S. military. The question of why a sitting member of Congress was going through that process is one Mullin has refused to answer clearly, citing the trip as "classified" and falling back on exclusions for "official duties" in his paperwork.
Journalist Aaron Rupar and commentator Charles Gaba have both flagged the hearing footage, which has spread rapidly across social media. Hawk walks through the clips in detail, noting that Mullin's language around "missions," "training," and "the smell of war" paints a picture of someone who has long leaned into a military identity he never earned.
Mullin would succeed Kristi Noem at Homeland Security, a woman who herself built a performative cowboy image complete with horses and guns for photo ops. The pattern here is hard to miss.
The moment a senator flatly asks Mullin where exactly he "smelled war," and Mullin responds that it's classified, has become the defining clip of the entire hearing.
