Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised a video featuring pastor Doug Wilson, who espouses Christian nationalist ideas. Wilson asserts women should not vote and underscores the traditional family structure where wives submit to husbands. He has previously made contentious remarks regarding slavery and sodomy. Hegseth, affiliated with Wilson's church, appreciates his teachings. An expert on Christian nationalism notes that Wilson's followers aim to impose their views on a wider scale, seeking to make their interpretations of family roles and gender enforceable national norms.
"Women are the kind of people that people come out of. The wife and mother, who is the chief executive of the home, is entrusted with three or four or five eternal souls."
"It's not just they have these personal Christian beliefs about the role of women in the family. It's that they want to enforce those for everybody."
