Our Generation’s War: An Interview With Joe Kent
IM1776.com, Article, Sept 2, 2022


Joe's Explanation of his Operation Chaos Bernie Sanders Vote:

LifePac talked with Joe about his Bernie vote and we've posted his quoted explanation below.  Joe also told us about growing up listening to Rush Limbaugh from about age 11 or 12, as that was common family fare in his home.  Joe's mother from at least that time was an engaged pro life activist.  A note for clarification: Joe says that he participated in Operation Chaos from its beginning, targeting Hillary in 2008, and subsequently engaged in Operation Chaos several more times through the years. He was out of the country in the military during those years, so it was his way to be politically involved while away.

Quote from Joe to LifePac: "
Here is my explanation of the Bernie issue - Thanks for reaching out. My opponents are coming after me because they know I can win and they're spreading misinformation about my voting history. I worked for Trump in 2020 & I did everything I could to help him win including registering as a Democrat to vote for Bernie so he could have the weakest opponent in the general election. This strategy is something that Rush Limbaugh came up with – he called it “Operation Chaos” and he encouraged conservatives to do it. I have never voted for a democrat in a general election (when a democrat was running against a Republican). In 2020 there was no Republican primary for President (Trump was the nominee & incumbent). I registered as a democrat to vote for the democrat who would be easy for Trump to beat in the general election, that was Bernie. While I was a registered democrat I was working for the Trump 2020 campaign & speaking out on behalf of Trump’s foreign policy & treatment of our military families. I grew up in Portland and left Federal Service in 2019 after my wife, Shannon Kent, was killed in Syria. I bought a house in Yacolt WA in July 2020 & voted for Trump in the general election. Trump’s 2020 campaign vetting team was aware of my voter registration & the reasons why when I was vetted for the re election team. When I was offered a job in a 2nd Trump admin I was vetted again, and once more before I received the Trump endorsement. Here are a few media events I did with Trump’s team in 2020 (while a registered dem) - Please note the dates, all of these media events & articles were while I was a registered dem (for the above listed reasons) and working for the Trump team- "

Trump (Not Bernie) Team:
Opposition campaigns have used these recent, post military pictures of Joe on pro Trump news shows, out of context, to imply Joe's a long haired liberal; a grossly malicious act.
