"Hegseth accused the legacy Trump-hating press of a politically motivated animus that blinded it to the brilliance of our American warriors."
"The sermon Hegseth described as attending bears similarities to one delivered only days earlier at Christ Kirk DC, a Washington branch of the openly Christian nationalist Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches."
"CREC leaders advance a theocratic program that would restrict the vote, criminalise LGBTQ+ expression and apply biblical law through the courts."
"Hegseth's cabinet tenure continues to underscore the growing influence of CREC inside the US military and the Trump administration."
Pete Hegseth compared the US press corps to Pharisees during a briefing on the Iran war, expressing disdain for what he perceives as their politically motivated animus. His worldview aligns with the Christian nationalist Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), which promotes a theocratic agenda. Sermons from CREC leaders advocate for restricting voting rights and criminalizing LGBTQ+ expression. Hegseth's cabinet role highlights the growing influence of CREC within the military and the Trump administration, as evidenced by his rhetoric regarding the Iran war.
