Instead of calling Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense, based on what his former colleagues said about him yesterday, it might be time to rename him the Secretary of Filth.
Hegsteh, you may recall, was a Fox News host before being tapped to head the Defense Department, and his name came up on the Fox afternoon show “Outnumbered” when host Joe Concha dropped a banana on the floor but still ate it, leading co-host, Rachel Campos-Duffy to say that he was “definitely auditioning for the Pete Hegseth seat.”
Mention of Hegseth led host Ainsley Earhardt to say that the Defense chief had once dropped a bagel slathered with cream cheese on the floor when he worked at the network.
“He would drop it, it would land upside down, the cream cheese on the floor, and he would pick it up.”
“I’m like, ‘Wait, is there any hair on there?’ It was so gross, and he would just pop it in his mouth.”
As if trying to make excuses for Hegseth, Earhardt then added, “He’s tough, he’s like an Army guy, you know, he’s tough.”
No, Ainsley. That’s not tough. It’s freaking gross and unsanitary.
That was the overall consensus on social media, too.
He didn't have to worry about the germs because the alcohol on his breath would kill the germs for him.
