20. "Walsh" and "Wilson" reference explained

I know who Rogan is (unfortunately) but had to scan the article for the other two. No complaints — it’s one of the hazards of snipping quotes.

In December, the head of Hegseth’s church’s denomination, Doug Wilson, celebrated the secretary as a counterweight to “men with a My-Little-Pony fetish.” Last year the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh applauded Hegseth for supposedly sticking it to “nagging” women who insist that gender does not disqualify them to serve in the military.

In other words, fellow self-deluded tough-guy impersonators. What a noxious crew.
