House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a blistering response Tuesday after National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent abruptly resigned while claiming Iran "posed no imminent threat" to the United States – a stunning contradiction to intelligence briefings that paint a far different picture.
"I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information, but he wasn't in those briefings clearly," Johnson told reporters, exposing what appears to be another case of Deep State sabotage within the Trump administration.
The resignation comes at a critical moment as President Trump works to restore American strength on the world stage after four years of Biden's disastrous foreign policy that emboldened Iran and its terrorist proxies across the Middle East.
Another Biden Holdover Undermines America First
Kent's departure raises serious questions about how many Obama-Biden loyalists are still embedded within our intelligence agencies, working to undermine President Trump's efforts to protect American lives. While Johnson and other Republican leaders have access to classified briefings showing Iran's escalating threats, Kent apparently chose to ignore this intelligence.
This isn't the first time we've seen intelligence officials contradict the administration's assessment of foreign threats. Remember how the "intelligence community" spent years pushing the Russia hoax while ignoring real threats from China and Iran?
"The American people deserve intelligence officials who put America first, not bureaucrats who seem more interested in protecting our enemies than our citizens."
Johnson's forceful response sends a clear message: the days of unelected bureaucrats undermining our national security are over. President Trump and his allies in Congress have access to the real intelligence, and they're not going to let Deep State operatives gaslight the American people about genuine threats.
With Marco Rubio now leading the State Department and other Trump loyalists in key positions, patriots can expect a serious housecleaning of agencies that have been compromised by left-wing ideologues more concerned with protecting Iran than protecting Americans.
How many more Biden holdovers need to be rooted out before our intelligence agencies start putting America first again?
