The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, recently shared a video in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote, prompting one progressive evangelical organization to express concern.
Hegseth reposted a CNN segment on X on Thursday that focuses on pastor Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the Idaho-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), In the segment, he raises the idea of women not voting.
“I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” Wilson said.
Another pastor interview by CNN for its segment, Toby Sumpter, said: “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.”
A congregant interviewed for the segment remarked that she considers her husband as the head their household, and added: “I do submit to him.”
Hegseth reposted the nearly seven-minute report with the caption: “All of Christ for All of Life.”
Later in the video, Wilson says he does not believe women should hold leadership positions in the military or be able to fill high-profile combat roles.
