Another anti-Semitic political puke.

Kent enlisted in the 75th Ranger Regiment and applied for the Special Forces before the September 11 attacks. He served eleven combat tours, primarily in Iraq, and retired in 2018, becoming a paramilitary officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In January 2019, Kent’s wife Shannon was killed in a suicide bombing in Manbij, Syria. He became involved in political advocacy after Shannon’s death.
We’ve been at this for weeks now....why wait until now?

Explain that.
Well, the world can always use another bartender
Amen. Joe Kent is a good man.
This guy might be just the first among a flood of departures from this administration over this fiasco.
I’ll be surprised if Tulsi Gabbard is still there after Memorial Day.
