The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was seen holding a pink stress ball during a contentious House Appropriations Committee hearing, which did little to ease the tense exchanges with lawmakers.
- The hearing featured a heated exchange between Mullin and Rep. Rosa DeLauro over the handling of separated children, with both interrupting and accusing each other amid rising tensions.
- Mullin has a history of confrontational behavior, including a Senate confirmation hearing where he was criticized for anger issues and past aggressive incidents with colleagues and union leaders.
- The pink stress ball Mullin frequently uses is described by experts as a tool for managing early-stage irritation, though its use during intense anger episodes is less effective; Mullin has carried the ball since middle school, referring to it as his "pacifier."
- Mullin’s use of the stress ball has attracted media attention, including from Fox News host Sean Hannity, highlighting its unusual presence during official proceedings.
