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.

#ConvictedFelon and #Hatemonger #DonaldTrump refers to #CNN's #AndersonCooper by a #woman's #firstname.
As the #GOP #presidential #nominee focuses his #closingmessage on a #hypermasculine #appeal to #men, he has repeatedly referred to the #openly #gay #journalist as "Allison Cooper."
The #hypermasculine #farright: how #whitenationalists tell themselves they are ‘#protecting’ #women and #children when they #riot.
“Protecting” women and children is central to #nationalist #rhetoric, and #transphobic #hatespeech.
#Sports provides valuable #lifelessons: Let #trans #Americans #play
Those #opposed to #trans #particiaption in #sports want you to imagine #hypermasculine #boys competing against #helpless #girls. A #caricature of a #trans girls that is nothing like the reality of who trans girls and women are.
