Pastor Doug Wilson says women should not be allowed to vote

newsJul 7, 202617116

NPR profiled Pastor Doug Wilson in a Newsmakers piece headlined "The pastor who wants to repeal voting rights for women is becoming more mainstream," reporting that Wilson told NPR he wants to repeal women's right to vote and to criminalize homosexuality. NPR reported Wilson advocates a Christian theocracy in which non-Christians cannot hold public office. The profile notes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Wilson to preach at the Pentagon in February as part of Hegseth’s monthly Christian worship service. NPR framed those developments as evidence of Wilson gaining influence and moving toward the mainstream. The piece documents Wilson's specific policy goals and highlights his recent access to a senior Defense Department official, prompting public criticism of the decision to give him airtime.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Pastor Doug Wilson to preach at the Pentagon in February. Wilson told NPR he wants to repeal women's right to vote because it is a good idea. He also wants a Christian theocracy in which non-Christians cannot hold public office.

Yo Doug Wilson is a Christofascist scumbag. Sorry to see NPR normalize this scumbag’s POV just like they normalize a criminal pedophile ridden Presidency/Oligarchy, totally corrupt SCOTUS and absolutely traitorous GOP. @npr.org

He is such a horrible horrible human. Kudos to Leila for her ability to make it through that interview without reaching over and slapping his face. I was yelling at the radio listening to it.

Doug Wilson is a piece of shit that needs to be deported to Iran or Russia where he can live with his “fluffy unicorns” that cunt doesn’t deserve to breath American Air. Fuck Doug Wilson

Imagine the monumental amount of self-possession Leila Fadel must have had to refrain for putting this wholly reprehensible dangerous mistake of a human out of our misery.

This is why I am so energetically against organized religion: People who are fully indoctrinated in their cult calmly explaining why they want the rules of their fairy tales to dictate the actual lives of normal people.

@bradleyperry.bsky.social

it's crazy that this fringe lunatic is being given a voice. He wants to turn this country into a Christian Theocracy. No voting for women or non christians. Non Christians can't hold office. Etc. Insane that members of Trump's administration are part of this church.

NPR’s morning show is giving a platform to a guy named Doug Wilson who describes in procedural detail how the US can become a Christian nation in which only Christian men vote. WHY? Why give them air time? THE Feds already removed their funding?? #christianNationalism

Holy shit. @npr.org is interviewing Doug wilson, the Christo fascist who controls hegseth, and who wants America run as a Christian country. It is insane that NPR would even give this guy the platform for his outrageous, racist, sexist weirdo beliefs.

Hey @NPR, Hegseth platforming Doug Wilson doesn't mean you need to; should be one more reason NOT to platform a rw Christian nationalist extremist. Insulting that Leila Fadel had to lower herself in "discourse" with an avowed islamophobic misogynist. Platform scholars not carnival barkers.

@npr.org I did not need to wake up to Pastor Doug Wilson telling Leila Fadel that I should not have a right to vote- with no real pushback. As a “Newsmaker”. This is how the media helped get us the historically unpopular president we have. Platforming anti-democratic extremists as “newsmakers”.
