We need to remain active and engaged. What George Orwell foresaw could be come reality. While I am unaware of Joe Kent having any ties to Christian Nationalist, this modus operandi, is taken straight from that group. If you are unaware of Christian Nationalism, see the following https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/24/us/white-christian-nationalism-blake-cec/index.html. It is scarry to see how reason and judgment are abandoned to advance an agenda. As many readers will recognize, the Christian right is going out of their way to support their "water boy" Trump. I see this response by JK as part of that support and belief that they must hasten the end of days. JK has no role in politics, leadership requires allegiance to the Constitution (and its flaws), not to a person.

Kent is an ideological extremist and is willing to make evidence free assertions at will. Best ignore anything Kent says. It is time you never get back. The degeneration of the Republican party is a sad spectacle. There is no chance they will ever again nominate a candidate the likes of Dan Evens or Slade Gorton.

During my career, I held a high-level clearance and was required to follow stringent rules for every classified program. These included management of documents and many other factors. I can verify that anyone with a clearance who did what Trump did (and no, I won't say "allegedly did") would be enjoying "3 hots and a cot" at Leavenworth. Mr. Kent's support of Trump's actions is disgusting. Thank you, Andre, for a fine summation of this situation. Let's hope the chief orc's "base" comes to their senses - or better yet, that the GOP finds an upstanding, honest citizen to nominate. The thought of Mr. Kent being a member of congress chills my blood.
