“The President is doing exactly what he said. He made promises in the campaign. He’s kept his promises. He’s putting America back on track where they need to go, and this cabinet is the one that’s helping to deliver those promises for the people.”
Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joined CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper to discuss the recent promotion of President Trump’s National Security Advisor, Michael Waltz. The Senator congratulated Waltz on his nomination to Ambassador to the United Nations and noted his willingness to keep serving this country says a lot about his character and lifetime of service. Additionally, he pointed out media bias against the cabinet and referenced strong U.S. military recruitment numbers as evidence of America’s confidence in the Commander in Chief, President Trump, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

On Waltz’ nomination to the Ambassador to the United Nations:
“The fact that he’s going from an appointed position to a cabinet position, will tell you how much he wanted to keep Mike around.”
On the confidence in President Trump and his defense team:
“The President and Secretary Hegseth, they work every day together, and they are making a difference. You see that in retention. You see that in recruiting numbers. Inside the DOD, we’re hitting retention numbers that we haven’t seen in years, and we’re seeing recruiting numbers pass anything that ever came into the Biden administration.”
On the media bias surrounding the president’s cabinet:
“One thing this cabinet is use to is heat. The media reports, what 100% of the news on Pete Hegseth is negative? 97% on the President is negative. I think 89% negative news on Bobby Kennedy. And I would say that would probably run parallel with Mike Waltz too. So, the negative press that the media and the bias media is going to give them, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t affect their job. You see what they’re doing. They’re doing a great job. The President is doing exactly what he said. He made promises in the campaign. He’s kept his promises. He’s putting America back on track where they need to go, and this cabinet is the one that’s helping to deliver those promises for the people.”
