Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.
This is it. It's over. This is the best summary of the American Republican party there will ever be.
Moon landing deniers, flat earthers, then anti-vaxxers, and now germ skeptics?
He claims to be joking about it.
It's too late for this kind of people.
He'd probably just say "It's a computer screen!"

Literally only pretending to be retarded.
I wonder what mental gymnastics they'd pull it you brought up religion with that way of thinking in mind

Fucking baffles my mind that some people with elite school degrees can be unfathomably retarded. (But clearly we know it was either daddy's money that got them through or they just drank too much koolaid at the frat parties).
Even if he was joking...
Does this look like the place to be joking? This isn't the fucking pub. These aren't your friends.
Fucking act professional. If someone else were to say that at a job interview, their curriculum would have been burned right then and there.
he's got a point, I haven't washed my ass in 10 years. I can't smell it, whats the issue?
This brings up memories of the facepunch teeth cleaning thread 🤢
great , more news articles about people just joking around , great
doesn't baffle me one bit, I went to school with a lot of really smart people from prestigious backgrounds who had zero life skills, and I went to school with a lot of people who could rebuild an engine and wore cloths made of only the roughest materials. its just that the elites can and do pay to live in their own bubble and their children never are exposed to the real world
when you accidentally disprove god
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," Hegseth added.
why is there any level of outrage over this? it was a jokey comment in a jokey bantery situation. who actually gives a shit?
Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.
Impossible, then it'd be a party of atheists.
Reminds me of a post I saw on Reddit where this dude said he hasn't brushed his teeth in 30 years because the mouth's ecosystem takes care of everything on its own just fine
Gag
because he's a fox news host, that is pretty much it
The thing is, when a guy says he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years, and then says germs don't exist, yeah he's joking, but if he's not at least a little bit serious, what the fuck is his justification for never washing his hands then? Like the joke is clearly emblematic of a larger problem even if he doesn't actually believe germs don't exist.
There are some you can see with the naked eye if you have good enough eyesight, so its still pretty bogus. Also, incredibly nasty, good lord
he also looks like he doesn't washes anyway
I think it has more to do with Poe's law. Denial of science has become so prevalent in America that someone genuinely thinking that isn't as much of a stretch as it should be.
No, its cause he's a poor little persecuted fox presenter.
what sort of justification would he need to make a joke about not believing in germs or never washing his hands??? the whole premise is wrapped up in the "say things onair that i only say off", the whole thing is that this is essentially something you'd never say or actually do.
"Man jokes on air, more at 11"
Watching the clip you've got to be literally retarded to think the man was being serious.
we have the actual clip of him talking, we can easily deduce his intent, jumping to poe's law is either the result of being dumb or the result of willfully ignoring the truth.
not a whole lot of other people could make a clear joke like this and get a BBC article about it
Rushing to post zingers and getting high on that dank mass upvoting is quite a pastime these days, if you haven't noticed. I doubt half the people who popped in to comment will be in any way walking back their words even if it is beyond a doubt proven to them that Hegseth was joking. Shit, if there are tons of people who still refuse to step off the red-hat-bad Covington Express, there are probably way more who couldn't be bothered to give a quarter of a damn about revisiting their comments on what some right-leaning random weekend host jokingly said on air.
