Original Note:
Pete did actually say this: https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1094741186483548160?s=20 (clip from the show) … And it was understood to be in jest, both from the context in that show and from other commentators at the time https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1094962526771707909?s=20 He later confirmed that this was a joke and not intended to be taken seriously. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/02/11/fox-news-host-pete-hegseth-wash-hands-10-years/2835616002/
