Religious Liberty Firm Supports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Prayer Service
Washington, D.C.—Today, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth led a prayer service in the Pentagon’s auditorium. Secretary Hegseth indicated that he plans that the prayer service become a monthly event. The following statement may be attributed to Erin Smith, Associate Counsel at First Liberty Institute:
Secretary Hegseth’s exercise of his religious faith is protected just like it was for the Navy SEALs we represented against the prior administration when it tried to kick them out for their faith objection to Covid requirements. We commend Secretary Hegseth for standing up for the Constitution and against censorship.
