Hegseth Spiritual Advisor Says Mormons Shouldn't Vote or Hold Office... SERIOUSLY?!?!

Pastor Doug Wilson, a prominent Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, told the Salt Lake Tribune that in his ideal Christian republic, only “Orthodox Christians” should hold public office — and he’s unsure whether Latter-day Saints should even be allowed to vote. In this episode, we break down: Doug Wilson’s comments on Mormons voting and holding office His vision for a “Christian Republic” Why this rhetoric is gaining traction in certain circles How the Salt Lake Tribune framed the story What this means for religious freedom and political participation When prominent voices start openly questioning whether members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should have the right to vote, it’s worth paying attention. #ChristianNationalism #DougWilson #ReligiousFreedom #LDS Chapter Markers / Timestamps 00:00 - Intro: Doug Wilson on Mormons Voting & Holding Office 02:29 - Who Is Doug Wilson?
