"We are losing our country right before our eyes," one social media user wrote.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared a video about Christian domination in the age of Donald Trump — and his since sparked controversy.

Late Thursday, Hegseth posted to his X platform, “All of Christ for All of Life,” sharing a report from CNN that profiled Douglas Wilson, a self-described Christian nationalist pastor who has built an international network of dozens of churches, schools and a college since the 1970s.

Wilson’s vision of a Christian society includes “women as an individual shouldn’t be able to vote.” His fellow pastors agreed — with one claiming, “in my ideal society, we would vote as a households.”

      Yeah the dude whose cheated on all of his wives constantly, stole money from two separate charities he ran, and would regularly take his charity employees out to the strip club where he’d get shit faced drunk and pressure his employees to have sex with him is definitely the type of guy who should be lecturing us all about Christ.

      Fun fact: He’s failed at every job hes ever had except at Fox News where he was sleeping with his producer to get more air time. Seems on point that he only got his position by sleeping his way to the top.

      In a May blog post titled, “A Mission to Babylon” announcing the new church in Washington, Wilson wrote there would be “many strategic opportunities with numerous evangelicals who will be present both in and around the Trump administration.”

      “We’re not planting the church so that we can get to meet senators and important people. What we’re doing is planting a church so that the important people in DC will be reminded that God is the important one. What matters is His favor,” Wilson told CNN. “We’ve got a number of people that are connected to us that are there, and we wanted to have a church service available for them.”

      He’s absolutely planting the church so that can get to meet senators and important people.

      Even before the BtB I knew he was a garbage fire of a human.

      His accomplishments in scumbaggery are impressive though… getting fired from THREE conservative veterans organizations, including one founded, due to graft and sexual coercion?
