During a Senate Homeland Security hearing, Sen. Markwayne Mullin said his comments should have been retracted. Photo: Evan Vucci/Reuters

https://m.wsj.net/video/20260318/d22c425b-cd6c-4c6c-b5f6-4e914b043a05/1/hls/manifest-hd-wifi.m3u8

During a Senate Homeland Security hearing, Sen. Markwayne Mullin said his comments should have been retracted.

Mullin Expresses Regret for Calling Alex Pretti a ‘Deranged Individual’ 

After DHS officers shot and killed two American citizens this past January, you joined top administrative officials in publicly blaming and disparaging the victims. Following the killing of Renee Goode, Secretary Noem called her a domestic terrorist. You, sir, you called Alex Pretti, quote, "A deranged individual that came into cause max damage." Could we expect those kinds of quick responses, if you are confirmed as secretary, would you be basically, well, you did, you responded as Secretary Noem. Are we're gonna just expect that same behavior all over again?

No, Senator, I have a deep amount of respect for you. We've had our differences, but I do respect you. I think, I said this privately when we had a conversation. Those words probably should have been retracted. I shouldn't have said that, and as secretary I wouldn't. The investigation is ongoing, and there is, like I said, there's sometimes I'm gonna make a mistake and I own it. That one, I went out there too fast. I was responding immediately without the facts. That's my fault. That won't happen to secretary.

So, you regret that statement?

Hon. Mullin: I already said that, yes, sir.

Would you wanna apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?

Well, sir, I just said I regret those statements.

Sen. Peters: Is that the same as an apology?

I haven't seen the investigation. We'll let the investigation go through, and if I'm proven wrong, then I will absolutely.
