Markwayne Mullin Hiring Family And Flying On Government Bang Jets Like A Common Kristi Noem

Scabrous dick weasel Markwayne Mullin was confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security two months ago for exactly one reason: to make everyone forget the incompetence and grifting and fuck-plane-buying that marked the reign of the pustulent puppy murderer Kristi Noem. He was also possibly confirmed because his Senate colleagues couldn’t wait to get him out of the chamber so they wouldn’t have to see or hear him every day. Given his history of trying to start fistfights with hearing witnesses, who could blame them?

It could theoretically be disappointing to the Trump administration that old Two Names Mullin is now being accused of behavior similar to Noem’s. And no, we don’t mean banging Corey Lewandowski, so get that right out of your filthy minds.

What Mullin has been accused of doing that is similar is trying to hire a romantic partner to DHS with little to no obvious qualifications for the job. It’s just that that partner is his wife, Christie. Currently, Christie Mullin is the chair of rural policy at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank the Daily Mail hilariously describes as nonpartisan. Mullin seems to think that if his wife is on the DHS payroll, he wouldn’t have to pay for her plane tickets when she flies with him on DHS jets.

Mullin’s estimated net worth is around $60 million, just in case you were concerned that having to reimburse the government the cost of an Oklahoma-to-DC plane ticket occasionally was going to put his family in the poor house.

Mullin has also reportedly talked about bringing his wife on as a Special Government Employee, which would pay her around $65-70 an hour and limit her to working 130 days a year. This is the exact employment designation Noem gave Lewandowski when he came onboard with the exact same limit of working days, which the frying-pan-faced lothario flouted in all sorts of creative ways.
