"I think it's disrespectful and wrong to assume that the United States and the president, especially this president, whatever you think of him, does not act on his own agency and on behalf of the United States of America. I'm saying that he acts. He does not get coerced by other nations, like Israel."
"I think it's fair to debate the merits of the war and you guys do that every day and we all do that and whether it was imminent or not but I think what jumps off the page here about this resignation letter which I think we have to just call out here is that Kent writes it is clear we started this war due to pressure from Israel."
Sara Eisen guest hosted on The View and defended President Trump while discussing Joe Kent's resignation as director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent resigned in protest of Trump's Iran strikes, claiming Iran posed no imminent threat and suggesting Israel influenced the decision. Eisen challenged Kent's accusations, arguing it is disrespectful to assume the U.S. president lacks independent agency and acts under pressure from other nations. She contended Trump makes decisions for American interests rather than being coerced by Israel. Her defense prompted reactions from other hosts including Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar, who expressed skepticism about her characterization of Trump's autonomy.
