@jackhutton This part is just….WTF?

ā€œKathleen Trott, later told Politico that Mullin had behaved badly on the trip.
ā€œWe get on this bus, and it’s a couple-hour bus ride and people were kind of leaning on their spouse’s shoulder and falling asleep. And this idiot starts walking up and down the bus with his camera and anyone who fell asleep, he would put his finger in their nose and take a picture,ā€ Trott told the outlet in 2023.ā€

@grammasaurus EXACTLY ..Glad you pulled that part. what a sociopath!!
@grammasaurus @jackhutton what a prize entry for the Congressional record.
@Nazani @grammasaurus -- you know, really... you really do wish someone would ask Mullin directly about this.. highlight this behavior.. put it 'in the record'.. Its so weird.. and juvenile.. and this guy will head up the important DHS agency? No..

@jackhutton @Nazani The entire cabinet is made up of people with the emotional maturity of middle schoolers preoccupied with trying to get noticed.

How embarrassing….
