Noem replaced by MarkWayne Mullin at DHS


To be fair to Mullin, he was advancing toward and went to the door to try to block the rioters out of entering the chamber.

“… Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), one of the dozens of lawmakers inside the House chamber, first leapt into action, helping an officer barricade the door on the House floor that leads to Statuary Hall. Texas freshman Reps. Troy Nehls, Tony Gonzales, Pat Fallon and Ronny Jackson, a Navy veteran, also soon joined Mullin in preparing to defend the chamber.

… As the rioters began pounding on the back door of the chamber that opened towards Statuary Hall, Mullin, a former professional mixed martial arts fighter, helped a sergeant-at-arms block the entrance with a desk.

“The idea was just to try to delay. I honestly didn’t believe we were going to keep them out of the chamber. I was 100 percent convinced that we were going to pile up at the door,” said Mullin. “It is all about time.”…”
