Revealed: Trump Pentagon nominee endorsed extremist Christian doctrine on podcast
Briefly

Recently uncovered podcasts featuring Pete Hegseth reveal his endorsement of sphere sovereignty, a doctrine linked to Christian reconstructionism. Hegseth criticizes concepts like democracy, feminism, and critical race theory, labeling them as dangerous. He expresses contempt for public education, portraying it as a vehicle for detrimental social changes. Notably, he aligns with the call for a society governed by Old Testament laws. Julie Ingersoll, an expert in religious studies, helps underscore the duplicitous stance of some proponents who claim to support separation of church and state while advocating for a overarching theocratic authority.
Hegseth endorses the theocratic doctrine of sphere sovereignty, advocating for Old Testament law's supremacy and endorses authoritarian views on governance.
His commentary on public schools reveals a disdain for perceived liberal ideologies, branding them as tools for societal decay and moral corruption.
