Fox News host Pete Hegseth has launched a fiery new campaign against what he calls “the soft tyranny of dishwashers,” arguing that “real Americans” should embrace the old-fashioned method of hand-washing to build character and muscle. During a segment on *Fox & Friends*, Hegseth slammed modern appliances for “brainwashing people into thinking they need convenience,” insisting that true patriotism involves scrubbing plates with a steel wool pad. “Back in my day, we didn’t rely on fancy machines to do our dirty work—we used grit, determination, and a sponge that had been in the sink since the Reagan era,” he declared. Reports suggest his next battle will be against air conditioning, which he says has made America “too comfortable to fight for freedom.”
