Mullin: I promise I'll stop talking sh*t about innocent U.S. citizens ICE shoots in cold blood so it's OK to confirm me.

Sen. Gary Peters, the ranking member of the committee, pressed Mullin over his comments following the killing of Pretti, a Minneapolis nurse who was shot by federal agents during a protest in January.

After Pretti's death, Mullin echoed initial statements from Noem and White House deputy chief Stephen Miller, calling Pretti "a deranged individual that came in to cause max damage."

Noem later walked back her comments, claiming she did not have all of the facts at the time.

"I think I said this privately when we had a conversation. Those words probably should have been retracted. I shouldn't have said that," Mullin said to Peters, adding he was "responding immediately without the facts."

"That's my fault. That won't happen as secretary," Mullin said.

Mullin knows exactly WHO and WHAT he is. So does Trump. That's why he chose him. Mullin's just trying to skate through the hearings and snag the gig.
