Fox & Friends host hasn't washed hands in 10 years: 'Germs are not a real thing -- I can't see them"

You can't make up this level of ignorance. tRump will probably make an official science adviser.

Fox & Friends host says he hasn’t washed hands in 10 years: ‘Germs are not a real thing — I can’t see them’

Fox News host Pete Hegseth explained on Sunday that he doesn’t wash his hands because “germs are not a real thing.”

Following a commercial break, Fox & Friends co-host Jedediah Bila revealed that Hegseth had been munching on day-old pizza that was left on the set.

“Pizza Hut lasts for a long time,” Hegseth replied, defending himself. “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.”

“I inoculate myself,” he continued. “Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore, they’re not real.”


Germs aren't real--but "I inoculate myself."

Expose him to a little high energy gamma radiation, because you can't see that so it must not be real, and see what happens.

you can save a ton of money by eating at B- restaurants, getting your surgeries at hospitals with low scores for hand washing, buying used underwear at flea markets, etc.

it's not written down, but we definitely pass the word along when we see other guys at work not wash their hands (especially when they come out of the stall), so we know to not shake hands or borrow pens from them or whatever. It is part of being in a society is not getting your germs on other people.
