Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joined Fox News’ Hannity to discuss recent Houthi strikes, successes of the Trump administration, and hypocrisy from the Left. Highlights below.
Sen. Mullin’s full interview can be found here.
On the Houthi strikes:
“It’s very rare that you see a group of powerful people like the President has around him in his cabinet, and people that are advising him, to have an open conversation. They have disagreements, but they work it out. They come up with a conclusion in a very short period of time, and they decide to literally deliver lethal strikes to the Houthis, to who which President Biden and his administration just sat on their hands. Let’s keep in mind, this is the same group that attacked our Navy 174 times since 2023 and the Biden administration couldn’t even make a decision to even aggressively go after them. And here in this conversation, you had cabinet members, you had advisors for President Trump that spoke just like they do to the American people on this chat, and delivered a blow that needed to take place.”
“So, I think it one, it’s revealing, and it’s great that they did it. It should have never happened, like you said, but what’s really the story here, Sean is they’re trying to distract themselves from the disastrous decisions that the Democrat Party is having.”
On hypocrisy from the Democrat Party:
“Keep in mind the NBC and CBS polling that you just referred to has the Democrat party’s favorabilities in the 20s. Chuck Schumer is fighting for his job here on the hill, and they’re taking this nothing story and trying to blow it out of proportion. And every time something like this happens, they call on the Republicans to resign, but yet we heard nothing on them calling on a vegetable, that was ruling the country for four years, to resign.
On the Biden Administration’s appeasement of adversaries:
“This current administration is… bringing back peace through strength. They’re going after our adversaries in an aggressive way. They’re taking the fight straight to them, where the Biden administration tried to appease them, tried to talk nice to them, and did nothing when criminals were coming across our southern border, and they knew that.”
On President Trump’s successes:
“What President Trump is trying to do is restore law and order in our streets and abroad, and he’s doing that aggressively in a faster pace than what we’ve seen. We’ve seen American citizens be released from prison with us having to give nothing to them just because they respect President Trump. Our southern border is down, and illegal crossings are down by over 90%, and we’re going aggressively after our enemies.”
On President Trump delivering on his promises:
“Keep in mind that Houthis, as I said, have been attacking us since 2023 and the Biden administration has done nothing. President Trump doesn’t just speak false words of trying to be tough. He delivers on his promises, promises made, promises kept, and he’s going to continue to deliver on those promises, regardless of what the distraction the Democrat Party wants to throw at us.”
