Here are five extreme moments that demonstrate that:
“Sir, this is a time, this is a place, if you want to run your mouth we can be two consenting adults and finish it here,” Mullin said.
“You want to do it now?” Mullin asked. “Stand your butt up then.”
Senator Bernie Sanders was eventually able to deescalate the situation, shouting “You’re a United States senator, sit down,” boomed Sanders. “This is a hearing. God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress.” Mullin later posted a picture of himself cleaning his guns on X.

2. He admitted to giving President Trump “cover” from Epstein files scrutiny.
Last summer, Mullin and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego each put forth a resolution on the Epstein files that they claimed was transparent. While Gallego called for the DOJ to release all files in full without caveat, Mullin called on the department to release “all credible information” related specifically to Epstein’s sealed legal proceedings.

4. Mullin called the U.S. operation in Iran a “war”—then took it back and called it a “misspoke”
“This is war, and we’re taking out the threat,” he said earlier this week, when asked if more top Iranian officials were at risk from future strikes after the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. “And if you’re part of the threat, then you’re a target,” Mullin said.
“We haven’t declared war,” Mullin said, directly contradicting the first three words he said seconds ago. “That was a misspoke.”

5. Mullin confused who the U.S. president is twice
Mullin called Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth the president twice while trying to wax poetic about war on Fox News.
“And fortunately, you have President Hegseth—or I say President Hegseth—Secretary Hegseth, that has got a great relationship with President Trump, and President Hegseth’s been there. He’s done that.”
