The background and controversial statements of Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host considered by Donald Trump for the position of Secretary of Defense, have come to light. Hegseth claimed that he hadn't washed his hands in ten years, later stating that it was a joke. Additionally, there is an incident in his past where he accidentally injured a drummer with an axe during a live broadcast. Trump had previously considered Hegseth for the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2016, and now he plans to elevate him to the most authoritative position in the U.S. military, second only to the president.

The controversial statements made by Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host considered by Donald Trump for the new Secretary of Defense, have resurfaced from 2019.

Hegseth, 44, sparked significant reactions on social media with his words on the Fox & Friends Sunday program: "I haven't washed my hands in 10 years. Germs are not real, I can't see them." In response to the backlash, Hegseth claimed it was a joke.

A graduate of Princeton University, Hegseth served as an infantry captain in the National Guard. The former soldier, who served actively in Afghanistan and Iraq, was also present at Guantanamo. Hegseth has been hosting on Fox News since 2014 and became close friends with Trump during his time in the media.

Trump had previously considered Hegseth for the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2016. Now, he plans to elevate him to the most authoritative position in the U.S. military after the president.

Meanwhile, some past incidents involving Hegseth have also become a topic of discussion. One of these was the incident where he accidentally injured a West Point drummer with an axe during a live broadcast.
