Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Mullin's Homeland Security Role

0:00On March 27, Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Mark Wayne Mullin on a recent episode of his late-night show. The comedian called out Mullin's new role as Secretary of Homeland Security, pointing to his earlier jobs as a plumber and mixed martial arts fighter. As proof, he lacks the right experience. Kimmel suggested it was a stretch for someone with that background to handle national security threats. The appointment came after President Donald Trump shook up his cabinet. He removed Christie Knowham from the Homeland Security Post and named her special envoy for the shield of the Americas instead. Mullin, a former senator from Oklahoma, stepped right into the vacancy. Plenty of people pushed back against Kimmel's routine. Trump himself fired off criticism and several media figures jumped in to defend Mullin. They argued the host overlooked the nominee's real-world skills and political track record. So far, no further comments from Kimmel, but the clip has spread widely online. Supporters say Mullin's hands on past a makes him tougher and more practical for the job.
