Joe Kent has been making the rounds since resigning as director of the National Counterterrorism Center over America’s involvement in the Iran conflict. He’s appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, Mark Levin’s radio show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, The Young Turks and UnHerd’s YouTube program. But it’s an interview with the Daily Caller editor-in-chief Amber Duke that earned the ire of Laura Loomer, the rabid pro-Trump, pro-Israel loyalty enforcer.

In the Caller interview, Kent claimed FBI Director Kash Patel stopped an NCC probe into Charlie Kirk’s murder by Tyler Robinson. Loomer took umbrage with Duke’s style, which she characterized as “softball” in a lengthy X screed. Loomer also mentioned Duke’s deleted high-school tweets, which include Holocaust jokes she exchanged with her Jewish then-boyfriend. Despite the fact that the information was circulated years previously by Media Matters, a left-wing nonprofit that specializes in offense archaeology, Loomer had the temerity to claim her post was “exclusive.” Loomer accused Duke of “a history of anti-Jewish behavior” and said, “At some point, people have to stop denying the stench of Jew hate that follows Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent everywhere they go.”

Duke, for her part, had apologized for and fully addressed the tweets, in a thoughtful piece for The Spectator’s “free speech” special in February 2020, her first month as our Washington editor.

But don’t let that stop Mark Levin. The boomer Fox host gleefully shared Loomer’s thread, with the caption, “The Traitor Tucker/Daily Caller connection.”

Duke told Cockburn, “The past week a lot of pro-war pundits have been suddenly ‘discovering’ that Tucker Carlson is our co-founder as if it’s some kind of secret or vast conspiracy. His name is listed on our website!”

Will Trump strike a ‘final blow’ on........
