Fox News host Pete Hegseth, an informal Trump adviser who was once considered to run the Veterans Affairs administration, on Thursday called upon healthy Americans to have some courage and leave their homes to get infected by the coronavirus in order to help attain herd immunity.
Broadcasting from what appeared to be his home, Hegsethserving as the female-centric Fox News panel show Outnumbereds lone male hostweighed in on President Donald Trump using the term warriors to describe the American people as he pushes for the countrys economy to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic and the possibility of a surge in deaths.
Saying he didnt necessarily love the warrior talk because he thinks of that word describing guys and gals that risk their life voluntarily to go to the most dangerous places in the world, Hegseth went on to applaud that kind of ethos and that spirit to put freedom before fear.
After warning that there was a lot of misinformation out there from experts about coronavirus, Hegsethwho proudly declared last year that he hadnt washed his hands in 10 yearsthen said the public needs to get out and mingle.

(12,712 posts)How many propagandists have done this so far? It seems like they are practicing stochastic terrorism, which is what I would call information that puts people both in harms way and may also be lethal.
Let's all join in: You get out there and let's see you report from remote locations and mingle with crowds. No need to be a hypocrite and it's easy. I would like to see a "a day in the life" segments where you go around being brave, show courage and set an example. Are you chicken? Naw, not you. Start creating that herd immunity and get back to me on how it goes, Bucko! I will be looking forward to it.
