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.

      I don’t really care about his anti-democratic opinions. It’s not his choice to make, whether women vote, or not. Just like I don’t care if he likes vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Nor do I think he should have any say in ice cream availability.
