Joe Kovacs helped Trump target a former official in a March 17 article:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday reacted to the resignation of the director of the National Counterterrorism Center who objects to Operation Epic Fury against Iran by saying: “It’s a good thing he’s out” and that he’s “very weak on security.”
Joe Kent, who says it was “an honor” to serve Trump, announced on X: “After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.”
“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. 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.”
Kent was serving under Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence.
In his resignation letter, he cited a “misinformation campaign” by high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of U.S. media that undermined Trump’s America First platform.
[…]Jacqui Heinrich of Fox News reported: “Senior admin official says Joe Kent was ‘a known leaker’ – and was cut out of POTUS intelligence briefings months ago. He has not been part of any Iran planning discussions or briefings at all. Official says also the White House told DNI Gabbard Kent should be fired for suspected leaks, but she never did.”
During an Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin on Tuesday, Trump said of Kent’s resignation: “I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security.”
[…]White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the president about Kent, saying: “There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that ‘Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.’
She says evidence of Iran’s imminent threat “was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum. Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.”
Kovacs failed to note that Leavitt didn’t actually disprove anything Kent said.
Kovacs served up more regime propaganda in an April 20 article:
President Donald Trump on Monday pushed back against speculation he initiated Operation Epic Fury against Iran at the behest of Israel, while blasting media coverage of the U.S. military action he believes can lead to a “great and prosperous future” for the Islamic Republic.
“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged.
“Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing – And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!”
Kovacs offered no evidence to back up Trump’s claims.
