Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday rebuked former counterterrorism director Joe Kent after he resigned Tuesday in protest of the Iran war, saying administration officials who disagree with President Donald Trump should step aside rather than publicly break ranks.

“Now I know Joe Kent a little bit. I like Joe Kent. You heard the president of the United States say yesterday that he likes Joe Kent too. But it’s one thing to have a disagreement of opinion,” Vance said on Wednesday as he visited a manufacturing plant in Auburn Hills, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit.
