• Foreign influence over U.S. policy undermines constitutional sovereignty and creates echo chambers in Washington.
• National intelligence reports suggested Iran was not an imminent threat to American soil prior to military escalation.

Kent expressed alarm regarding the level of access granted to foreign officials which allows them to punch well above their weight class in D.C.

"We give them more access than they should have, than any foreign country should have," Kent stated.

Reports from the State Department recently acknowledged that U.S. military involvement was conducted in the collective self-defense of an ally, rather than a direct response to a strike on the American homeland.

Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
