Markwayne Mullin's CNN Fumble and Conservative Backlash

At 28:55 · chapter starts 25:40

Megyn Kelly plays the clip of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on CNN with Jake Tapper, in which Mullin outlined Haitian TPS holders' 'choices': they can apply for permanent residency, apply for a visa, or return home with a government-provided plane ticket and $2,100. The reaction from Megyn Kelly and Mike Davis is immediate and forceful: this is not what conservatives voted for. Davis says he went public on X and also made his dissatisfaction known privately 'to all the right people' in Trump World, and that Mullin 'got the memo pretty quickly.' The segment crystallizes a key tension in Trump's immigration coalition: the president promised deportations, but a DHS secretary with Senate-style political instincts defaulted to a softer, more palatable CNN message. Davis predicts Mullin will not survive if he continues to show 'Senate weakness' in the Trump administration, particularly after the anticipated birthright citizenship ruling that will further inflame the issue.

Markwayne Mullin's CNN Fumble on Haitian Deportations

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on CNN and told Haitians they could still apply for permanent residency or a visa — not that they were being deported. The backlash from conservatives, including Mike Davis publicly on X, was immediate. Mullin has since reversed course, but the damage to his credibility on the right was done.
