You’re unrepentant,” said Paul, noting Mullin’s “machismo,” “anger,” and “low-impulse control.”

“You think that’s great and to be extolled?” he added. “I mean, the sheer lack of any kind of awareness that you’re going to be leading thousands of men and women who will be using use of force. Do you think justifying that kind of violence sets a good example for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol?”

  1. Great use of the word extolled.

  2. You just listed all of the reasons that he's a perfect fit for current DHS leadership. Trump and co want an unhinged, violet thug with no formal experience.
