DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin doubled down on his threat to pull CBP officers at airports in blue cities if the protests against his ICE thugs continue. Mullin made an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union this Sunday and was asked by guest host Kasie Hunt about the fact that Sean Duffy pushed back on Mullin’s proposal, telling the Associated Press, “We have people from around the world and around the country that need to be able to fly into all different kinds of places. We shouldn’t shut down air travel in a state that doesn’t agree with our politics.”
Mullin just straight up lied to Hunt in response. ” Well, Sean and I are really good friends. And his question and the way that we’re answering it are two different things, because Sean and I are very much in agreement on this.”
Hunt didn’t cut in and correct Mullin, and just allowed him to continue to rationalize why his spiteful plan to punish blue cities would supposedly be necessary.
MULLIN: What this all comes about is that when you deal with what’s been happening up in New Jersey, deal with what’s happening in Seattle — when we call for local law enforcement to come in and help — mind you, we can protect our local facility. We’re not in charge of the city and state streets.
