Trump official's resignation leads to outrage across MAGA base

Joe Kent, head of the National Counterterrorism Center and a Trump appointee, resigned Tuesday morning in protest over the U.S. military operation against Iran.

Kent's resignation sparked fierce backlash from MAGA loyalists on social media.

A Gold Star wife defended the war as retaliation for decades-long Iranian targeting of Americans, rejecting characterizations of it as "Israel's war." MAGA commentator Jon Murray criticized Kent for implying Trump lacks agency to resist pressure from Israel.
