Here we go again, Christian nationalist blames women for America’s issues and questions their right to vote
This pastor wants to #RepealThe19th.
A pastor with a growing online following has declared that “the majority of women are not capable of responsible voting” and called for the repeal of the constitutional amendment that has guaranteed women the right to vote in the United States since 1920. This latest move comes from Dale Partridge, the lead pastor at King’s Way Bible Church in Prescott, Arizona.
According to IB Times, Partridge made these eyebrow-raising remarks in a video published on April 3, 2026, by Right Wing Watch. The clip, which also got shared all over X, shows Partridge stating that “one of America’s biggest threats is white liberal women.” He asserts that this belief is what drives his very public call for the country to repeal the 19th Amendment.
These comments are just the latest in what’s been a months-long campaign by Partridge. In March, he announced he’s got a book coming out, titled 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment. He’s publicly stated his goal of seeing women’s suffrage overturned within the next decade. Moreover, by replying to critics with comments like, “Thanks for the publicity,” he clearly leaning into the controversy.
Partridge’s consistent push for an anti-suffrage campaign is alarming in this day and age
Partridge has been expressing these kinds of views publicly since at least late 2025. Back in November 2024, he posted on X that “in a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction.”
In that same month, he also wrote that “nearly every legalised moral atrocity in the last 100 years was made possible by the female vote.” He then directly posted that the country should repeal the 19th Amendment. He tried to frame his argument as concern, not hostility.
He said, “I think we should repeal the 19th Amendment because I love America and American women and want to protect our nation from their suicidal empathy.” That post, which you can still find on his X account, racked up over 150,000 views. It’s a prime example of how he tries to couch extreme views in language that sounds almost caring.
In January 2026, Partridge released a video where he called white liberal women “the epitome of stupid,” according to the Roys Report, a Christian accountability publication that has been tracking his statements since 2024. In March, Partridge appeared on pastor Joel Webbon’s program alongside Calvin Robinson, formally announced his forthcoming book and laid out his timeline.
He stated his ambition to build enough public support over “the next 10, 15 years” for “a Supreme Court case repealing the 19th.” Robinson, who was with him, responded by calling the project “some good Christian sexism,” and Partridge actually agreed with that assessment. The full exchange was reported by Right Wing Watch on March 18, 2026.
Here’s where things get a bit tricky for Partridge’s grand plan
His stated legal strategy contains a fundamental error. The 19th Amendment is part of the United States Constitution. It was ratified on August 18, 1920, after Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it, hitting the three-fourths threshold required under Article V.
The Supreme Court cannot just repeal or invalidate a constitutional amendment. The court’s authority under judicial review extends to statutory law and executive action, not to provisions of the Constitution itself. Repealing the 19th Amendment would actually require a proposal passed by two-thirds of both chambers of Congress, followed by ratification by legislatures in three-quarters of all 50 states. That means 38 states would need to approve its removal.
Concerned Women for America, a conservative Christian advocacy group, described Partridge’s proposal in a March 2026 commentary as “lazy, provocative and politically illiterate.” They went on to call a successful repeal “a political impossibility.”
The only constitutional amendment ever repealed in American history was the 18th, which established Prohibition. Its repeal through the 21st Amendment in 1933 took 14 years and required a special ratifying convention process.
Partridge seemed unaware of this procedural distinction in his March 2026 remarks. He said, “If we can repeal Roe v. Wade, then I think we can overturn the 19th Amendment.” But Roe v. Wade was a Supreme Court decision, not a constitutional amendment. Its reversal in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022 carried no constitutional amendment process.
Before becoming a Christian nationalist, Dale was a businessman
Dale Partridge was born on April 10, 1985, and grew up in Southern California. Before he got into ministry, he actually built and sold several businesses, even delivered a TED Talk in 2015, and founded a philanthropic company called Sevenly. He became the lead pastor at King’s Way Bible Church in Prescott, Arizona, in 2023.
He’s married to Veronica, a Mexican American woman, and they have four children. In January 2026, he stated that interracial marriage is not the “ideal,” including his own.
His views on women’s suffrage definitely place him within a wider online movement. The hashtag #RepealThe19th has been circulating persistently on X, and the argument has spread from anonymous accounts into the stated positions of identifiable figures, including pastors, podcasters, and far-right commentators.
This isn’t just one guy; it’s a whole community. The Brennan Center for Justice notes that even after the 19th Amendment’s ratification, millions of women of color faced discriminatory barriers to voting for decades. This reality, the center says, illustrates why the protection has needed active enforcement rather than a rollback.
