Defense secretary raises eyebrows by posting clip of evangelical pastor advocating for repeal of 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted suffrage in 1920

The Pentagon clarified on Thursday that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth thinks women should have the right to vote, despite his sharing of CNN reporting which featured religious leaders he supports saying they would back the repealing of the 19th Amendment.

Pete Hegseth’s spokeswoman got testy when forced to answer questions over whether the defense secretary believed she—and other women—should be allowed to vote. Hegseth—known for his ultra-Christian views—last Friday shared a video of a pastor supporting repealing the 19th Amendment.
