Kimmel: Mullin ‘Unqualified’ to Be DHS Chief Because He Used to Be a Plumber
25th March 2026
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has a Hollywood elitist problem. In his Tuesday monologue, Kimmel discussed the news that Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin has become the new Secretary of Homeland Security, but according to Kimmel, Mullin is not qualified for the job because in his pre-congressional life, he was a plumber.
Kimmel began with what has become common for the late night comedians: a jab at Mullin’s name, “Trump’s got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon—Mullin. Maybe melon’s better. He’s the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.”
What was Kimmel before he became a late-night propagandist? Oh, that’s right: a comedian. Nevcr did anything constructive, Never did anything challenging. Never got elected to anything. Pretty much a drone.
