John Podhoretz, editor of the neoconservative Commentary, had a late night freak out on X (formerly Twitter) after The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam offered some mild criticism of Senator Tom Cotton‘s (R-AR) attempted defense of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong. Notably, Waltz and Wong — both firmly in the neocon camp — are suspected of having inadvertently added The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg to a high-level Trump administration Signal chat coordinating the public response to military strikes against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
“Shouldn’t you self-deport?” Podhoretz—son of prominent neoconservative Norman Podhoretz—wrote on X in response to Kassam. The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief had merely noted to Sen. Cotton that his defense of Waltz and Wong “…makes you look worse, not him look better.”
Consequently, responding to Podhoretz’s criticism, Kassam wrote: “Oh look the Israel First neocons are upset about Waltz being criticised. Wow you sure are making him look super trustworthy and MAGA.”
Notably, Cotton has recently been the center of controversy regarding the release of the JFK assassination files. The National Pulse reported earlier this month that Tucker Carlson claims the Arkansas Senator blocked at least one national security appointment over the individual’s enthusiasm for releasing the assassination documents.
Even more troubling, Cotton serves on the board of the International Republican Institute (IRI)—a nonprofit founded in 1983 and chaired for 25 years by the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ)—which has received over $130 million in federal grants, either directly from government programs like those run by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) or funneled to it via far-left, open-borders organizations like the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM). The IRI has deep ties to the intelligence community and was intimately involved in the Russia hoax attacks on President Donald J. Trump.
