The guy hates barbecue.
Perfect for Texas.
They've found their candidate.
The Democrats understand Texans.
Yeah, so look, Joe Kent, I don't know him.
He was a failed candidate for Congress.
He ran for Congress and lost, and he got himself appointed to be in the DNI office, in the Director of National Intelligence office.
And this week, he ostentatiously, he loudly resigned from the Trump administration.
And as you noted, the media was thrilled because he was resigning to attack President Trump, and there's nothing that the media likes better than a Republican attacking Donald Trump.
And so Joe Kent tweeted out, after much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.
Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.
And it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under POTUS and Tulsi Gabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
All right.
So you hear that and you think, OK, the guy's an isolationist and he hates Israel.
Where is he going to go to the surprise of nobody the next day he was on Tucker Carlson?
Like it's literally, oh, you hate Israel?
Yeah.
