For Pete's Sake

Many people on the far right don't believe in science, considering it more of a "faith-based system,", so it's only appropriate that "Fox News" host Pete Hegseth became their poster boy this morning when explaining on air that he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years, “Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore, they’re not real.”

Keep in mind, this is someone who viewers there trust to deliver information about the world to them. Which explains a lot about "Fox News" in a nutshell.

Note to self: don't shake hands with Pete Hegseth.

It's also worth noting that Trump was recently quoted as saying "Nancy Pelosi will never see my tax returns."  Apparently he believes in the Pete Hegseth Theory of Life, where if you don't see something it doesn't exist.

Anyway, I'm sure that at some point in the coming days Pete Hegseth will say he was "just joking," although at the same time he will continue to not wash his hands.  In the meantime, here are some other things Hegseth apparently must believe aren't real --

Gravity
Oxygen
Sunlight
Temperature
Sound
Electrons
Intelligence
Reality
