Trump nominates ex-WA congressional candidate Joe Kent for director job
President Donald Trump has nominated former Washington Republican congressional candidate Joe Kent to be the next director of the National Counter Terrorism Center.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social Monday afternoon.
“As a soldier, Green Beret, and CIA Officer, Joe has hunted down terrorists and criminals his entire adult life,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump also noted that Kent’s first wife, Shannon, was killed in action.
“Above all, Joe knows the terrible cost of terrorism, losing his wonderful wife, Shannon, a Great American Hero, who was killed in the fight against ISIS, Trump wrote.
Shannon Kent was one of four Americans who died in a January 2019 suicide attack in Syria.
Kent responded to the nomination with a short post on X Monday evening, thanking the president and saying he is honored to serve the U.S. again.
“It’s an honor to serve our nation again, time to keep our nation safe & strong,” Kent wrote.
Wow! POTUS appointed Joe Kent, who IMO was probably gypped outta a win for the US house of rep. TWICE in WA state, to a high position in his admin.
SERVES THE DEMS RIGHT. THEY CHEATED TO KEEP HIM POWERLESS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
