'No, Daddy! No!': Trump's New DHS Head Boasts About Spanking His Kids In Unearthed Video

Sounds like most republicans, honestly.

Is this the guy photographed cowering from the Republican mob on Jan 6th?

100% on brand with the new Republican party. They raped kids. They hurt the most vulnerable people that can't fight back.

Not just people - CHILDREN. Who are too small and defenseless to fight back. F****** disgusting.

We've gone from shooting puppies to hitting kids. He's really getting the cream of the crop.

And hid like a b**** on Jan 6

It's also indicative of laziness and a lack of imagination. Imagine not being able to get a child - *your own* child, who looks to you for everything, to cooperate without resorting to violence. Such incompetence.

Perfect to lead DHS

You can see why he's in the child sex trafficker's administration. I expect we'll be finding out how this piece of trash was involved with the kid diddlers soon enough, since the Trump-Epstein ring seems to be the tie that binds all of these evil shitbags together.

Well MAGA is completely into that, so this kind of stuff will just be met with thunderous applause anyway.

He's also proud of being extremely stupid. He's the personification of anti-intellectualism in politics.

Why is this shit "unearthed" after he's confirmed? I can't imagine someone just randomly found this the day after he's confirmed...

Prides himself hurting his own kids you mean

Yet when a bunch of Rioters came, he hid like a b****.

Exactly why he was chosen to head DHS.

Markwayne has *absolutely* SA'd his children.

I get some little white lies about your BJJ background, but beating a Gracie is WILD.

Guys like him are why I quit Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Around 2015’ish, it started to become flooded with these bozos.

Jeezus. Frank Dux could take a lesson in bullshitting from this guy.

It took me a minute to read that correctly as "BJJ" and not just "BJ".

So he fits in great with this administration of crackpots and losers. Got it.

Learned to be a domestic abuser. Something is incredibly wrong in the heads of conservatives who agree with this shit.  They quite literally think they have "gods" right to abuse their own children. Even if you did have this fictitious right.. why the f*** would you want to exercise it, unless you just enjoy inflicting pain on others.

Yeah, I mean this definitely tracks with Mullin’s anger issues and tendency to offer violence to resolve conflicts. He was physically abused as a kid, so he thinks it’s appropriate to physical abuse his kids, and the cycle continues.

I have a theory that a lot of people who support the Trump administration have been abused by somebody important in their life, one way or another, they have a justification mindset that is crucial to supporting all of this.

“Well my father beat me, too, and I turned out alright...” If someone prick ever says something like this, they clearly didn’t turn out alright.

Hurt people hurt people.

If you hit your kids enough, they'll turn out like Markwayne Mullin. Probably the strongest argument against corporal punishment that I've ever heard.

> “deserved” the beatings he received from his father, Pretty fucked up. I won't absolve of Mullin's of his own shittiness but you can see how that belief really fucks someone up. Should absolutely not be in a position of political leadership let alone overseeing a major government department. These Republican men are truly so f****** pathetic. Complete inability regulate emotions or even be a father. They consistently fail their children and destine them to messed up life with the likelihood of abusing their family or friends high. Abusing anyone is inexcusable but abusing those who can't fight back in the name of parenting is abhorrent. To get on stage and proudly proclaim he deserved to be abused just shows how warped his worldview and attitude on power really is. That doesn't show a strong or tough man. It shows a weak, pathetic father and partner.

This is how it was for me in foster care. The stupid whipping of the belt off, the scrunching together and pulling hard to make it slap noise. And me a scared child getting black and blue welts. F*** you Mullin, seriously, f*** you.

This almost sounds like those church things where they make r*** victims apologize to their rapists.

I like the idea that the metric for "Good At Beating Kids" is all about the speed with which you can belt them And it's not like there is some Goldilocks Zone... where you might think that any form of moderation should be in there... like, it's never "he was too quick to beat his kids" but no! Faster is always better, harder is always better On the one hand, i'm sorry for him as a kid... but i'm more sorry for his kids now :/ I guess it's true... Hurt people hurt people :/

Those are minimum qualifications for this administration.

Me too and the thought of my daughter crying and telling me “No Daddy No” is heartbreaking. F*** this guy. You can teach your kids respect by earning theirs. Humiliation and pain are not cultivated parenting skills. Someone needs to beat the shit out of this guy

The badge of honor for me is that the generational trauma stopped with me. I've never raised a hand to my kids and I never will.

Nope. And the resentment has lasted a life time.

Grew up in the 80s thinking it was normal. Nope turns out that shit wasn’t ok, mom still refuses to see it as wrong. 

My first memory of my Dad is jumping out to scare him at around 3 or 4 and him clocking me across the face. He would help with schoolwork and if we didn’t learn fast enough he would hit us with rolled up newspaper and yell at us. His parents did it to him. I don’t have kids and my sister is a different type of parent so the cycle is broken, but it did give me a pretty severe panic disorder. Hitting children is so unnecessary.

My mom used to hit me over the head and now we don't talk. It sucks for everyone involved.

My mom's ex husband hit me when I was a kid. That's literally all I remember about him. That and the fact that he was always drunk and yelled at my mom.

One of the things that got my mom to realize she needed to get her shit together when I was a kid was me getting old/big enough to go "you touch me and I'm hitting back." Her "tough love" was always just stress relief. On the few occasions I legitimately did f*** up, non abusive punishment felt worse. Abuse just made me bitter and more defiant.

I vowed I'd never raise my kid the way I was. Then when my friend's kid was acting up, my first thoughts were to do something my parents would do, so I went and got a vasectomy.

It's not. My brother was even lightly kicked in the ass. My dad also said he was fine with it if we misbehaved as kids in school that the principal or teacher hit us with paddles designed to inflict maximum levels of pain like he and my older relatives were. He said as soon as we got home we would get "spanked" again. I was never one to get in trouble much. I was very timid with little self-confidence. He also said to not call him if we were ever arrested for anything at all if it were something we actually did, no matter how small. He also thinks we should bring back public hangings and someone who drove through a cemetery and made local news once should have been publicly hanged. So I don't have much to do with my folks. I chose my family.

I was hit as a kid and none of it ever changed my mind about being violent to others. The only time I ever had any amount of self-reflection was when I hurt my sister over absolutely nothing. That's when I resolved to turn it around on my own, because my parents definitely didn't teach me shit about it.

The unifying value of the American right is inflicting harm on children: * Coporeal punishment is legal in educational settings in every red state. * Capital punishment of minors was legal, at the federal level, until 2005. Although the last execution of a minor was carried out in the 1950s, a number of red states continued to carry out executions of adult convicts who had been sentenced as minors, well into the 1990s. * Adolescent pregnancies are expected to be carried to term or miscarriage, even when this endagers the life of the mother, and even when the pregnancy is the result of r*** and/or incest. * Psychological issues in adolescents are often referred to the "troubled teen" industry, which outsources and commodifies child abuse, rather than treated with proven psychiatric methods and medications. * Children murdered in schools is considered an appropriate price to pay for largely unregulated private firearms ownership. Children must be continually reminded of this danger with active shooter drills. * Electing a paedophile rapist to the highest office of the Republic and protecting him against all the accusations is acceptable price to pay for power.

Well yeah. Does it actually surprise you that Republicans love physically punishing children? The same Republicans who don't give a f*** that their god king is a pedophile rapist.

I was raised by abusive parents shouting "stop crying, this hurts me more than it does you" during the beatings. This shit has no place in a civil society. If you are a parent who can not control their own anger, and actually parent your child, not just demand fealty in an environment that changes with the parents mood today, you are part of a bigger societal problem in the USA.

Many republicans love that shit, as manliness I just tell them try it on my kid and you will be a dead man.

One of the most common things I hear from conservatives I know personally is how society is falling apart because parents can no longer "discipline" (read: physically beat/strike) their children. Conservatives *long* to hurt children.

“It hurts you more than it hurts me.” - CIA interrogator

But only for his sons. Spanking his daughter was apparently much easier for him. The guy getting angry at his daughter from her pleading not to get spanked.

A lot of people are in some weird denial about spanking being physically abusive.

I was raised like this. The phrase is “this hurts me more than it does you”. Beatings stopped short of where the law would view it as abuse and be reportable.

Unfornutely even with all the progressive social change in this country *children are still seen and legally labeled as property here*

Boomers love this "tough love" shit.

This guy screams pretendian.

Says every other white southerner. “Our family is 1/8 Cherokee … Mee Maw says so.”

My dad had an old Russian guy at work make him a paddle to beat us with. He would talk about how the holes made it swing faster and hurt more. I remember breaking it one time after I got beat with it. Didn't stop him from hitting us. Wasnt until I was about 13 or 14 when he stopped. Got sick of his shit and clocked him in the jaw. I guess when you teach your kids to use violence when settling disputes, they learn that shit.

You might be my BIL.  My dad did hit the boys harder. I once heard him joke with friends about how the paddle left polka dot patterns. I never felt that my kids needed to be hit, and all conversations with my wife have been about wtf is wrong with people.

I find this shit so weird. Of course you want your daughter’s boyfriend to be respectful to your daughter and not abuse her but making out with a boyfriend/girlfriend is a natural part of being a teenager. They’re *supposed* to be doing that. It’s literally in their DNA. Make sure they are safe and responsible but don’t try to guard your daughter’s virginity like it’s something that belongs to you. That’s weird and creepy.

''If I see you having a healthy loving relationship with my daughter I'll rip your face off'' These people are deranged.

"Nobody kisses her but me!" -him probably

Jesus f****** Christ.

As someone who known many Oklahomans, they are bottom in education for a reason

It was a huge culture shock moving to rural Oklahoma when I was younger. Many of my classmates casually talked about getting hit by their parents. Hell, I was told that a few years before I got to that school, teachers and principals would still hit kids with wooden paddles. Many Oklahomans, especially in rural Oklahoma, wear this shit as a badge of honor and it is despicable. Living here is rough when you’re not a conservative.

Depends on the state/county where it happened. Some counties (for example) have laws that say that spanking is not considered abuse, while others say that it is.
