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, Mr 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," added Mr Hegseth.

So how often do people here genuinely wash their hands?

I'd say every time I use the loo, before/during/after cooking and also if I've touched something that leaves my hands feeling grubby (Like if I've been holding on to a hand rail on the tube or something)

before and after going to the loo. and theres always a bottle of hand sanitiser in the glove box, the general public are horrid disease ridden things.

After toilet and when grubby or when touching raw meat

Apart from that I think it's healthy to expose your immune system to some little nasties as it keeps it active and in shape

I imagine people who try to get rid of every bacteria don't have very strong immune systems and feel illness much worse than more "dirty" people

i wash my hands a lot, probably 8-10 times a day.

Bathroom trips and when cooking. But they get cleaned by default when I shower, so even if he doesn't wash his hands in-and-of-itself, they will get cleaned whenever he bathes.

I wash my hands:
- every time after I go to the toilet.
- before I cook.
- during/after cooking depending what I'm handling.

My hands are always dry, and cracked in winter.
I think I wash my hands too much.
But I touch my eyes a lot so it's probably for the best.

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

Applying this logic, I assume Mr. Hegseth will be leaving his house through the second floor window from now on. After all, you cant see gravity with the naked eye.

 

[adam cool dude]

This thread is worthless without pictures of his hands.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Strange from a man who works for a corporation who washes their hands of many a topic.

 

[PiKe]

I really want him to lick his hands live on-air.

"FOX News host dies of unknown disease"

 

[Yaayuh!]

Applying this logic, I assume Mr. Hegseth will be leaving his house through the second floor window from now on. After all, you cant see gravity with the naked eye.

 

[Brizzles]

depends which hand really

 

[200sols]

People wash too much anyway, but this is extreme.

Pretty sure he has, deliberately or inadvertently, cleaned his hands whilst bathing/showering.

 

[StriderX]

He's a fox news host, and is likely lying to garner hits with this, much like his maligned viewers who are also habitual liars. Probably a family values man as well, who cheats/beats his wife. Almost certainly takes a host of hard drugs, but is anti drug obviously.

But they get cleaned by default when I shower, so even if he doesn't wash his hands in-and-of-itself, they will get cleaned whenever he bathes.

Not if he wears gloves

Or worse, doesn't even shower

Hello . . .
Hello . . .
Hi, is that MumsNet? I think we may have a crossed line.

 

[IronWarrior]

He's lying and joking surely, but as someone from Fox News, he should had known better, that will haunt him forever and the disinformation will be shared by the crazy left forever but it reminds me of Bre Payton who died at 26 because she was against vaccines.

 

[Sankari]

she was against anti-vaccines.

wut.

 

[UberTiger]

I only wash my hands after posting on here. I always feel so dirty after associating with you filthy lot.
