During a recent “expletive-laden address” at the Army War College, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasted, “We are laser-focused on our mission of warfighting.” The former Fox News host did not, however, specify exactly which war he’s eager to win.

In recent months, Hegseth has invested a considerable amount of time and energy in library books. And scrubbing Defense Department websites of articles and images about Jackie Robinson and the Navajo Code Talkers. And renaming military bases. And renaming Navy ships. And restoring racist monuments that celebrate those who fought a war against Americans. And leading a Christian prayer service in the Pentagon’s auditorium.

The beleaguered Pentagon chief doesn’t even seem especially embarrassed about his culture-war focus, boasting on Fox News last week that he’s focused of late on things like “statues” and “paintings.” How do these efforts advance the nation’s national security goals? They don’t, but Hegseth is doing it anyway.

But that’s not all he’s doing. Late last week, Hegseth also used his social media account to amplify a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote. The Associated Press reported:

In the post, Hegseth commented on an almost seven-minute-long report by CNN examining Doug Wilson, cofounder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. The report featured a pastor from Wilson’s church advocating the repeal of women’s right to vote from the Constitution, and another pastor saying that in his ideal world, people would vote as households. It also featured a female congregant saying that she submits to her husband.

While it’s important to emphasize that Hegseth didn’t explicitly endorse the idea of repealing voting rights for American women, he nevertheless thought it’d be a good idea to promote the video, alongside his own written message that read, “All of Christ for All of Life.”

What’s more, the secretary’s office didn’t make much of an effort to distance himself from the video Hegseth amplified. A Pentagon spokesperson told the AP that Hegseth is “a proud member of a church” that is affiliated with CREC and he “very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson’s writings and teachings.”

Hegseth has also spent months purging several women from leadership posts within the U.S. armed forces.

Four days into Donald Trump’s second term, 50 Senate Republicans overlooked Hegseth’s record and radicalism to confirm him to serve in one of the most important and powerful positions in the United States government. To date, none of those 50 GOP senators has expressed any regrets for their vote.
