Podcast host Joshua Haymes voices range of extreme views and says liberalism a greater threat to US than neo-Nazism

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has repeatedly endorsed the Reformation Red Pill podcast, and has appeared on four episodes. But the former pastor who hosts the show, and who attends Hegseth’s theocratic church, has voiced a range of extreme positions in recent months on issues including Ice raids, capital punishment, the racist “great replacement” theory, adultery and neo-Nazism.

The revelations come on top of recent media reports focused on Hegseth also boosting a video of Douglas Wilson and other Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) pastors arguing that women should lose the vote in the United States. They also follow previous revelations about Hegseth’s links to or apparent sympathies for Christian nationalist positions.

    I cannot tell you how many people, most especially people from the Enlightened Center, who said it was being so very mean and how people like me should mind my tone when I talked of Gilead states in the immediate aftermath of the corrupted conservatives on the corrupted “supreme” court overturning 50 years of law.

    They said the same thing about the risks of letting the cons back into power, including Taco. That it was ridiculous and that he was only trying to help America, and same for his supporters.

    BULL.

    SHIT.
