      Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said 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 remarks 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.

        Jfc.

        But we should read the fucking article if we’re going to quote it.

        Next sent sentence:

        Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

        Maybe he was covering his ass, maybe it was a joke. But this is like the last thing on an incredibly long list of things to try and go after for.
