Joe Kent hasn’t been straightforward with the people of WA-03 and doesn’t deserve anyone’s vote. It’s been apparent that he seems oblivious to the right wing terrorism of the Proud Boys, “Patriot” “Prayer,” and those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
However, like his hero, Donald Trump, Kent seems to have ... um... money issues. A recent article in the Daily Beast, titled “Mystery Surrounds Company Paying MAGA Candidate’s Salary,” indicates that Kent’s claims of where he gets his income are highly suspect.
If these claims are correct, it is possible that Kent may have violated federal election laws.
Kent, like Trump, needs to come clean about his income. If we can’t trust him about this, why trust him about anything? But to most people, his associations with far right wing violent groups should exclude him.
