"Tapper included Kent's post from Saturday evening, which shared a post from Drop Site News that said Tasnim News, a media outlet tied to Iran's theocratic regime, was reporting the Trump administration had lost hope about bringing home the soldier and had pivoted to attempting to kill him."
"Kent shared the post with a caption saying he was praying for the rescue of our downed pilot & the safe return of our Special Operators going in to get him back. And that's exactly what happened, with President Donald Trump announcing about four hours later WE GOT HIM!"
"Kent was irritated that Tapper pointed out he shared the fake Iranian state media story and fired back at the anchor an hour later."
"Tapper's purpose, like the entire corporate media, is to promote this foolish war & attack anyone who points out how this war isn't in our nation's interest, Kent said."
Joe Kent, a former counterterrorism official, engaged in a social media exchange with Jake Tapper after Tapper criticized Kent for sharing an Iranian state media report. The report falsely claimed the U.S. was attempting to kill a downed Air Force crew member. Kent expressed his support for the pilot's rescue, which was successfully executed by U.S. forces shortly after. Tapper pointed out the inaccuracy of Kent's shared information, leading to Kent's rebuttal that criticized mainstream media's portrayal of the situation.
