Why #PeteHegseth nomination is a milestone for the #rightwing Christian movement he follows
by Liam Adams, January 13, 2025
Key points:
- Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who's President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Defense secretary, is a devotee to rightwing Christian movement led by controversial Idaho pastor #DougWilson.
- The Wilson-led denomination, called the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, has grown significantly but hasn't previously gained influence within Trump's inner circle.
- For this Wilson-led movement, Hegseth's nomination is a milestone for political clout and an especially promising potential appointment given its #hypermasculine and militaristic sensibilities.
