Pete Hegseth’s spokeswoman got testy when forced to answer questions over whether the defense secretary believed she—and other women—should be allowed to vote. Hegseth—known for his ultra-Christian views—last Friday shared a video of a pastor supporting repealing the 19th Amendment.

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality, has faced scrutiny for his association with Wilson—and Wilson’s anti–women’s suffrage views—since he was nominated to lead the Department of Defense. (Wilson also once wrote that “slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races.”)

The defense secretary shared a CNN report on a church he has attended in which elders said only heads of household — usually men — should vote.
