Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin is set to replace Kristi Noem as the new DHS Secretary, announced by President Donald Trump. Mullin's appointment has raised concerns due to his conservative views on immigration and strict border security.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has already sounded the alarm, labeling Mullin as 'unstable' and pointing out his stance on discussions about race.
Mullin has faced blame for defending a racist video of former president Barack Obama posted from Trump's Truth Social profile. He was accused of trying to grab a sign from Al Green's hands during a protest, with the words 'Black People Aren’t Apes'.
Newsom criticized Mullin's actions, stating that he 'literally tried to fight union workers during a hearing' and 'said 'I don’t want reality' at a Senate hearing about race.'
