They’re just going to deny anything is wrong, sweep deaths under the rug and carry on with absolutely nonsensical “gut feel” reactions to real problems. Hell, didn’t Hegseth say he doesn’t even believe in germs and so he doesn’t wash his hands.

This is pretty clearly a joke: "Really, I don't really wash my hands ever. Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they not real. I can't get sick."

  • And the Fox news hosts laughed at him! That's a good thing I suppose!

    But seriously: God am I glad I don't watch all these kinds of shows. I'd be much more sad than I already am about the state of America.

    • > laughed at him

      While you may be unfamiliar, the typical response when one finds a joke humorous is to laugh with someone, as seen here.

  • Interesting, I didn’t know the context. They’re not blameless though, with all the conspiracies they’re in bed with it’s hard to tell what’s a joke anymore.
