Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently posted a video on the social media platform X that showed Christian pastors speaking against women’s right to vote. The post drew attention to Hegseth’s strong personal connections to a Christian nationalist movement and its leader, Doug Wilson.
AP News found a video of a nearly seven-minute CNN report about Wilson, who helped start the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), shared by Hegseth. In the video, one pastor from Wilson’s church argued that women’s voting rights should be taken out of the Constitution.
