Fox host says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years'

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has confessed on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

"I inoculate myself," added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

His confession came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

"My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air," Hegseth added.

His comments were met with both support and concern on social media.

Germs aside, what about general cleaning off of the hands. Hand washing is unavoidable, even if you think germs are harmless. If he makes a pb&j sandwich and gets jelly on his hands, what does he do? Is he walking around with gloves on at all times? Is he licking his hands "clean"?

Surely you are washing hands when taking a shower, so never say never... :perplexed:

Sounds like the boy who hasn't properly washed his penis in 20 years. I don't understand why and so consistently, but hey....after the poop stick and don't wash legs thread, anything is possible.

ETA:

He likely doesn't go out of his way to wash them before meals or during the day, etc. After he gets out of the shower, thats it. Maybe after number 2....maybe.

I was so shocked when I saw this

But he said he was joking (and he probably was) and this was aimed at germaphobes

I feel like there is probably some truth in this joke though. Like he definitely doesn’t wash his hands long or often enough.

Like the people that rinse their hands but use no soap :nono:

This doesn't shock me. Spend enough time in their spaces and you'll learn all kinds of stuff.

We have the hygiene Olympics and they have...the opposite, it seems.
Unfortunately, I work on the floor with two black women who are not into handwashing after using the restroom. One lady will blow up the restroom, walk out the stall and walk straight out the door. I call her Shaniqua -itty Hands. The other woman is my coworker who just wets her fingertips after using the restroom. One day, I told her hands were still dirty and to go back and wash her hands. She laughed and she asked me if I wanted her to spend all day washing her hands...and kept walking back to her desk. I no longer eat the food that she brings me.

Don't people learn to wash their hands as children? Do they become allergic to water as adults? Yes, I expect you to wash your entire hand (s) with soap and water after you use the bathroom. It doesn't kill every germ but it reduces them. Think about how many things your hands touch a day- do you really believe that they are not filled with germs? Do these people have no home training?

I don't remember what I was looking for but I came across an statement from someone who said that they only wash their face in the shower- every two days :confused:. I don't know if she removes her makeup each day but it seems to me that a face should be washed at least once a day.
