Former national security adviser John Bolton on Wednesday applauded the resignation of Joe Kent, one of the nation’s top counterterrorism officials, who stepped down in opposition of the ongoing U.S. military operation in Iran.
Bolton then suggested that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard should follow her former top aide’s lead.
“I’m glad he resigned. I hope Tulsi Gabbard resigns soon afterward. If you don’t believe in the administration’s policy, you should resign,” he said during an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe.”
“There is division within the top ranks of the administration. This is proof of it,” he continued, highlighting the internal GOP rift that was exposed by Kent’s exit.
Kent became the first senior Trump administration official to voluntarily leave his post in objection to the Middle East conflict, saying he could not “in good conscience” support the military operation.
