WA-03: House GOP Candidate's Ukraine Posts Echo Kremlin-Touted Propaganda Channel
In late May, Joe Kent, the GOP candidate for Congress in a crucial Washington toss-up district, posed a question on X (formerly Twitter):
“Ukraine is out of men, so their only option is to get NATO involved. What happens when Russia kills French troops in Ukraine?”
Enough foreign nationals have signed up to fight for the embattled European nation that there’s now an international legion in Ukraine. But no French combat troops ― or troops from any NATO country ― have been deployed there.
So why would Kent, a former Special Forces operator and foreign policy adviser in the Trump administration, ask such a question?
