'I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing': Fox News host Pete Hegseth admits to never washing his hands
Fox & Friends Sunday co-host Pete Hegseth, who was once floated as a possible replacement for David Shulkin to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, made a somewhat startling statement on Sunday’s show about never washing his hands.
“My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air. I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don’t really wash my hands ever,” Hegseth said. “I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore they’re not real.”
Hegseth’s co-host Jedediah Bila, who was sitting next to him, jokingly replied, “Someone help me.” And she wasn’t the only who seemed a little grossed out. Viewers on Twitter chimed in with comments as well.
Some, however, pointed out that Hegseth was likely just stirring the pot.
And Hegseth himself did have a response to all the reaction on Twitter:
“Look it,” Hegseth said, holding up his hands. “These hands look pretty clean to me, you know.”
