Besides the fact that he’s an adulterous, self-dealing hypocrite, there are even better reasons you should never shake hands with Fox News host Pete Hegseth: He said he never washes them because “germs are not a real thing.”
On Fox & Friends yesterday, Hegseth defended eating day-old pizza left on the set, apparently unrefrigerated, by suggesting he has immunized himself from illness by never washing his hands.
HEGSETH: I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. I don’t really wash my hands ever.
[…]
I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore, they’re not real.
[…]
I can’t get sick. … These hands look pretty clean to me.
