U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supports a woman's right to vote, the Pentagon said on Thursday, days after he reposted a video on X of a pastor advocating repealing the right guaranteed by the U.

The man who oversees the nation’s military has reposted a video on X, formerly Twitter, about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote and should “submit” to their husbands.

A Department of Defense official faced pressure Thursday to reaffirm Secretary Pete Hegseth's commitment to women's right to vote after the Pentagon chief reposted a video of a pastor in the secretary's church saying the opposite.
