Why is Pete Hegseth reposting a video of a "pastor" whose church believes women shouldn't be allowed to vote?

Because that's who Hegseth is, what he believes.

Nobody in their right mind would think a TV anchor belongs in government, except possibly as a spokesperson.

How many has Trump installed?

Well we are well past the point where the people in this current administration say the quiet things out loud.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Eh, the Emirates have princes (Emirs), not kings. And the UAE has a president chosen by their Supreme Council. And the UAE is hardly the standard of quality living

[FreyaRed]

I would ask him If women shouldn't be allowed to vote, maybe such second class citizen like women shouldn't pay income tax and other taxes either?

[Tamera952]

lol…. Pete is a angry alcoholic as*hole and in WAY over his ugly head.

[DrPepper12]

Cuz he's a drunken wife beating ignorant paranoid 4th rate Fox News sycophantic Christo-fascist?

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah but look at that suit and haircut! And he's an expert on electronic communications security!

[msc545]

Everyone suspected that Pete was an asshole. He just proved it.

[beefcakebradybatson]

He wouldn't be in Trump's Cabinet if he weren't an a**hole !!!

[4ngelic]

because he most likely thinks that and wants to get the message out

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Both men and women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Democracy is pure trash. With a king is how a nation should be governed not what the common man or woman has to say.

[Sirenboobzilla]

How would said king come to power?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Sirenboobzilla: Let the people choose once.

Then from their his son and grandkids will inherit the kingdom.

[Sirenboobzilla]

That scenario, historically, tends to end badly

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Sirenboobzilla: Democracy is a new concept. In the history of the world there has always been one king in authority, not divided power or the general public choosing as people don't know what the they are doing.

[Sirenboobzilla]

A monarchy doesn't guarantee anything. Throughout history, countless monarchies have been overthrown and the monarch killed.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" Lord Acton

The countries that exist today with active monarchies have democracy built into them where the people elect their officials while the monarch sits at the head. It ensures that a monarch's powers are in the best interests of the people. A form of checks and balances, as it were. Similar to here in the USA. Without that, you get North Korea

[Sirenboobzilla]

Oh, and Russia

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Sirenboobzilla: Your first mistake is to assume a king will be like that dude from North Korea which isn't the case as he is the exception not the rule.

People love to visit and live in Dubai which has a king and nobody complains and brag on much they like it over there.

A nation divided becomes a weak nation. There can only be 1 leader of a nation, having divided power of authority is highly stupid.

Giving power to the people to vote people into power when 99% of the population doesn't understand economics in depths, doesn't understand Healthcare nor energy in depths among all the other things is highly stupid.

[Pohjolan]

Maybe he thinks that women are even more stupid than niggers?

[beefcakebradybatson]

He's a reactionary, misogynistic POS !!!

[slatyb]

Because he believes it too.

[Dargil]

So what do you think that means?
