Pete’s Prayer Meeting: Evangelical War Strategy Edition
In today's White House soap opera, the press secretary laid it out: 'the goal of this meeting for the president is to walk away with a better understanding of how we can end this war.' Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth proudly reppin’ the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches—basically the Deluxe Christian Nationalist Club. Co-founder Pastor Doug Wilson, notorious for mixing patriarchy with theology and stirring more controversy than a TikTok conspiracy, gave a thumbs up to Hegseth’s video tagged 'All of Christ for All of Life.' Clearly, faith and foreign policy are shaking hands like long-lost frenemies.
