Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn’t believe women should be allowed to vote.

Doug Wilson, senior pastor of Christ Church in Idaho, said during the interview with CNN that, “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,” he continued.

In the CNN interview, Wilson also defended previous comments where he had said there was mutual affection between slaves and their masters. He also said that sodomy should be recriminalized. The Supreme Court invalidated sodomy laws in 2003.

    Can you please not just attack someone randomly by building up a straw-man and interpreting way more in their comment than they actually said?

      They pumped themselves up(“mark my words”) on an obvious observation of the present as if they made some clever prediction of the future. This is a thing trope when it comes to US politics; people are always saying “just wait it’s gunna get worse!” and then very few ever do anything with their supposed powers of clairvoyance.
