Sen. Murray Speaks Out Against Conspiracy Theorist Joe Kent to Lead National Counterterrorism Center

Published | Video Starts at 03:19

He said no classified information was discussed. That was the answer he gave at his Senate confirmation hearing. Now it's obvious that answer was a complete lie. Last week, The Pentagon's watchdog confirmed there was classified information in that signal chat. So was Kent being intentionally dishonest, or does he not understand what classified information is? Either way, it is completely disqualifying, which, as I think I've made clear, is pretty much the pattern here. (03:19–03:27)
