Pastor argues that women gave up their right to vote when they got married
Toby Sumpter, a Christian nationalist at Doug Wilson's church, has made the astonishing remarks in a discussion panel.


The post said: "He defends repealing the 19th Amendment by arguing that women effectively give up their right to vote by getting married

Sumpter concluded: "So when you get married, what you are saying is I'm choosing this man to be by representative."

His comments were slammed by others who spotted the @rightwingwatch post on social media platform BlueSky.
