Joe Kent Resigns as NCTC Director Citing Opposition to War; Then Trump Posts This Screenshot of Kent's Old Tweet

Jim H?ft : Mar 18, 2026  The Gateway Pundit

Kent repeatedly acknowledged Iran as a serious and active threat until his abrupt resignation narrative flipped the script.

He also said that the Trump administration had been misled into war by a "misinformation campaign."

President Trump posted a brutal screenshot of Kent's own words from January 8, 2020, right after Trump took out terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani. In that old tweet, Kent demanded:

"@realDonaldTrump We should not sit and wait for the next attack, wipe Iran's ballistic capability out and get our troops out of Iraq – they are only targets now. No US WIA/KIA is a tribute to the professionalism of our military and intel professionals not Iranian restraint."

That single post directly contradicts Kent's current claim. In 2020, Kent was calling for Trump to "wipe out" Iranian capabilities. Today, he claims Iran is "no threat." What changed?

The Gateway Pundit dug through Joe Kent's entire X history on Iran, and the flip-flopping is staggering.

"Iran is poised to attack, Biden & the DC war machine has given them plenty of options to harm us by leaving our troops deployed in small bases in Iraq, Syria & Jordan. Biden also gave Iran the funding for its proxies to attack us & Israel. The solution isn't billions more in foreign aid & adding more US troops to the region, it's cutting off Iran's access to funding, depriving them of targets."...
