9 OUTLETS
Markwayne Mullin's Senate Confirmation Hearing

At his Senate confirmation hearing for Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin faced questions from Rand Paul about past remarks concerning violence against Paul. Mullin defended his remarks and did not apologize. Left-leaning outlets frame the hearing as scrutiny of Mullin’s remarks about violence and past confrontations, with articles also questioning his temperament. Center outlets emphasize his dispute with Paul, his comments about dueling, and critical reactions, including a call for senators to reject his nomination. Right-leaning outlets split between arguing his refusal to apologize makes him unfit and defending his account of an emotional moment at the hearing.
