Gold Star wife slams Joe Kent's hypocrisy

Gold Star wife here.

When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine.

You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

Good for her.

[mass55th]

Wow!! Her comment gave me chills.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Gutfeld suggested he’s not all there. Perhaps she died engaging in the act of sex with another man in a war zone. Just sayin’.

Trump said Kent was always weak on security . Then why did he choose him ???

[Milagros]

Thanks

[Milagros]

He chose him before he saw his weakness

[Ultra Sonic 007]

He chose him before he saw his weakness

This sort of excuse-making on behalf of Trump's personnel decision is long past its expiration date.

[JZelle]

It never should’ve gotten to this point.

He sure had a grudge he wasn't 'in the room.'

Questions over access, motive and past ties.

Against that backdrop, questions have also emerged about Kent’s access to intelligence and the motivations behind his position as well as his past political associations.

A senior administration official told Fox News Kent was “a known leaker” who had been cut out of presidential intelligence briefings months earlier and excluded from Iran-related planning – raising doubts about whether he had access to the information he was disputing.

“He has a history of white supremacism,” Jake Wallis Simons, host of the Brink podcast and a columnist with The Telegraph, told Iran International, adding that Kent’s background should be considered when evaluating his position.

Open-source reporting reviewed by Iran International shows Kent faced criticism during his political campaigns over engagement with white nationalist figures.

According to The Forward, he sought support from white nationalist Nick Fuentes and made comments describing American culture as “anti-white,” though Kent has said he disagrees with some of those views.

Stephen F. Hayes of The Dispatch reported that Kent’s former campaign manager acknowledged in texts that he had sent racist and antisemitic messages, and that a senior adviser attended a conference hosted by Fuentes.

Warren Kinsella, a former special assistant to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, said opposition to the war in some cases reflects ideology rather than security realities.

“Kent is an example of that,” Kinsella said. “The war is defensible on any number of grounds… the fact that Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. This was the right thing to do.”

He added that Kent’s past associations had long raised concerns.

He said it because he was told Kent is a leaker.

[sushiman]

Trump gave a serious national security job to someone he always thought was “always very weak on security.” Why didn’t he fire him before he resigned ?

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

I don’t think decisions to make war should be based on who’s spouse was killed or otherwise impacted. This isn’t Troy circa 1200 BC.

[Romans Nine]

That gonna leave a mark…….

[Fury]

Your post is another example of the growing anti-military personnel sentiment by more and more posters.

A disgusting comment.

So what? I’ve never known anyone who always made the right decision and neither have you! Compared to his Marxist/Democrat adversaries however, he’s a freaking genius. So, stop your whining you’re making an ass of yourself!

[Alberta's Child]

Imagine a draft dodger calling out the guy with 11 combat tours for being “weak on security.”

I don’t think the day is far off when there’s nobody left to defend Trump on this website except a bunch of Special Olympians.

Please be advised that Joe Kent is a loser who couldn’t hold a seat in a district Trump won.

Disgusting? He’s a loser isn’t he? At least I’m not lying.
