Fox News Host Hasn't Washed Hands for a Decade

Fox News host Pete Hegseth confessed on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because “germs are not a real thing,” the BBC reports.

“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 wonder if he's an anti-vaxxer as well.

People like that is why I no longer use serve yourself salad bars. At least restaurant workers have to wear gloves, Bubba that just took a crapper and didn't wash his hands does not.

You will be shocked by the number of men that get right off a toilet after dumping a stinking, big load and walk right out the door. That observation has no race or class, I have seen people in pricey suits do it and people that appeared to be poor. In addition, most of the men that I have observed don't wash their hands after taking a leak either.

I have for years used a paper towel to open the door when leaving a restroom. The CDC estimates that a piece of human feces weighing about the same as a paper clip contains about 1 trillion germs, in the right situation, that amount or less can seriously sicken or kill a person that get their post washed hand on human feces touching the restroom door.

that's why he doesn't worry about sanitation or biological disease.
maybe next year they'll release him to the public as an app: the iHegsseth, "it never fails to disappoint"

Remember, if you touch anything he has touched to wash YOUR hands. I shiver at the thought of him walking out of the restroom then grabbing a handful of the M&M's in the bowel for everyone.

Variations of this insanity. One is, "I didn't see it, so it didn't happen." And, "How do you know there was a mini ice age in the 1700s? Were you there?"

These are poor excuses for denying inconvenient truths.

I thought I heard a story once about how Trump used to like to go urinate in a bathroom, not wash his hands and then go shake hands with competitors or clients because it made him feel powerful to force them to unknowingly touch the hands that were just holding his junk a few minutes before.

I am not sure if it's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. And for those who say he's a germaphobe, if he indulges in golden showers and raw-dogs porn stars, he can't be that much of a germaphobe.
