The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, highlighted a video featuring pastors advocating for women to forfeit their voting rights. Doug Wilson, a prominent Christian nationalist pastor, expressed desires for the U.S. to embody Christian values, while Toby Sumpter suggested voting should reflect household discussions, traditionally guided by husbands. Hegseth's endorsement of their views has garnered criticism from progressive evangelicals who deem these views as extremist. The Pentagon noted Hegseth's ties to Wilson's church and expressed appreciation for Wilson's teachings, intensifying concerns over gender roles and political influence within evangelical circles.
Pastor Doug Wilson stated, 'In my ideal society, we would vote as households. I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote, but I would cast the vote having discussed it with my household.'
Wilson expressed, 'I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,' highlighting his vision for a theocratic influence in governance.
Hegseth reposted a segment with the caption: 'All of Christ for All of Life,' promoting a vision aligned with his Christian nationalist beliefs as discussed in the CNN report.
A congregant commented, 'I do submit to him,' emphasizing a traditional view of gender roles within the household as reflected in her voting beliefs.
