Joe Kent was a frigging crank well before he set foot in the political theatre. The Trump movement never should have embraced people like him or MTG or whatever other crazies the dog drug in. It's not his "new wife" that made his beliefs intolerable, they were always intolerable. Separately, there's massive evidence that he's played footsie with a myriad of white nationalist influencers going back to the time he first showed up in politics (which is why he lost NOT ONE BUT TWO races in a Congressional District Trump won in both 2020 and 2024).
He departed from the Administration (presuming it wasn't because of an actual investigation) because he knows his political career is limited but that there's a lot of money in being an anti-Semitic fringe "right wing" influencer or podcast host or personality or whatever. Just ask Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. There was a certain person who warned you all about these types of people long ago.
I just looked up Spanish flu (politically incorrect name) and the estimated death toll was 50 million worldwide from 1918-20. It started during the end of WW1 and spread rapidly among the troops and elsewhere. What is interesting is the age group hit hardest was 20-40 yr olds. Something about the immune response to the virus. It died out as people got immunity and the virus mutated to a less deadly form.
