WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he’s proud to be part of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, an archconservative network of Christian congregations. Hegseth recently made headlines when he shared a CNN video on social media about CREC, showing its pastors arguing women should not have the right to vote.

After Hegseth boosted Doug Wilson’s CNN interview slamming women voting and gay sex, the Christian nationalist told the Associated Press he's "grateful" to Hegseth and yes, he's against the 19th Amendment.
