"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. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation."
"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives."
"Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work. He spent all of his time working to subvert the chain of command and undermine the President of the United States. This isn't some principled resignation—he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned."
Joe Kent, a Trump administration official, resigned in protest over U.S. military involvement in Iran, arguing the conflict serves Israeli interests rather than American security. Kent, a veteran who lost his wife in combat, stated Iran posed no imminent threat and criticized the administration for abandoning its previous stance against Middle Eastern wars. Following his resignation announcement, White House special assistant Jake Schneider retweeted a harsh attack from former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, calling Kent a crazed egomaniac focused on undermining the president rather than producing substantive work. The post was also shared by Department of Education adviser Noah Pollak, who has ties to pro-Israel organizations.
