Fox News host admits on air that he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years

A good amount of people abandon their New Year's resolutions by February, but Fox News' Pete Hegseth? He's just getting started.

On Sunday morning's episode of Fox & Friends, Hegseth, for some reason, came *clean* about his resolution on air, and the result was both unexpected and absolutely disgusting.

"My 2019 resolution is to say things on-air that I say off-air. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years," Hegseth admitted, without being asked.

While his co-hosts burst out into laughter, Hegseth went on to explain his decision to steer clear of soap and water.

"Really. I don't really wash my hands," he said while rubbing his germ-covered palms together. "I inoculate myself."

As one of his co-workers yelled, "SOMEONE HELP ME," Hegseth proceeded to explain his scientific analysis of germs.

"Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they are not real."

Ah, an extremely ignorant approach. Sounds a little like Donald Trump effortlessly dismissing climate change.

In a statement to Mashable, a Fox News spokesperson said that Pete was joking.

In any event, people online were not on board.
