Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the former Fox "News" host who now oversees about 3 million military service members and civilian employees, promoted a video advocating the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees women the right to vote.

The video featured Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson who preaches that "women shouldn't be able to vote." Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Evangelical Churches.

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.

In his repost of the interview on the platform X, Hegseth added, "All of Christ for All of Life."

Huh.

Well, I'm old enough to remember a few years ago when republicans said women were hysterical for predicting that the right wing would overturn Roe v Wade, which they've done.

Now republicans are working hard to remove access to birth control, which again they had previously claimed would never happen (yet it's happening).

Now, if you don't believe that republicans will work to take away a woman's right to vote then you just haven't been paying close enough attention.

Oh, and Trump is a pedophile. Release the Epstein files.
