BBC Canada

His remarks came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

...

Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

"We live in a society where people walk around with bottles of Purell (a hand sanitiser) in their pockets, and they sanitise 19,000 times a day as if that's going to save their life," he said.

"I take care of myself and all that, but I don't obsess over everything all the time."

Or else he'd be a pariah - well, more of a pariah to some. Ludicrous assertion from a small-minded man.

Not that I would, because turds like him don’t wash their hands after taking a dump and spread their invisible essence all over the planet.
