Jamie Herrera Beutler of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Kent is a retired Green Beret and Gold Star husband running against RINO and incompetent Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler in the 3rd District of the State of Washington. Joe served his country proudly for many years and understands the tremendous cost of America\u2019s wars in the Middle East, and elsewhere,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIn Congress, Joe will be a warrior for the America First agenda, unlike Jamie Herrera Beutler who vote, despite the facts, against the Republican Party and for the Democrats\u2019 impeachment Scam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Kent is strong on Crime and the Border, loves our Military and our Vets, and will protect our Second Amendment, which is under siege. I met Joe at Dover Air Force Base on the evening his wife was being brought back from the Middle East, where she had been killed in combat. It was a very sad moment in Joe\u2019s life, but I was incredibly impressed with him and told him that he should someday run for office-we need his voice and leadership in Washington D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow he is running and Joe Kent has my Complete and Total Endorsement,\u201d the former president said. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/28\/trump-mitch-mcconnell-endorsement-regret-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>(RELATED: Trump Says He Regrets Endorsing Mitch McConnell)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.3162790697674\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Thank you very much President Trump!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m honored &amp; ready to take our country back!<\/p>\n<p>Join our movement \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fD86UYnk1p\">https:\/\/t.co\/fD86UYnk1p<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9fdqOWxN4F\">pic.twitter.com\/9fdqOWxN4F<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Kent for WA-3 (@joekent16jan19) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joekent16jan19\/status\/1433157755762839552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kent served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army and later earned a position in the Ranger Regiment and the Special Forces, <a href=\"https:\/\/joekentforcongress.com\/about-joe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to Kent\u2019s campaign website.

However, this time my fight was to defend America First policies. Now one asked me to do this. I sought out every opportunity and any media outlet that would give me a platform to use my twenty-year expertise physically fighting these wars to articulate how correct President Trump was,\u201d Kent wrote on the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefending Trump\u2019s policies gave me a taste of the savage fight we face against a hostile mainstream media and deeply entrenched political class. I eagerly sought out the opportunity to defend President Trump when The Atlantic, a well-known publication, printed slanderous accusations against the President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kent referred to The Atlantic\u2019s Sept. 3, 2020, piece titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2020\/09\/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers\/615997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump: Americans Who Died In War Are \u2018Losers\u2019 And \u2018S<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2020\/09\/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers\/615997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uckers&#8217;\u201d<\/a> after the former president refused to visit a French cemetery for American soldiers in 2018.
