Fox News has issued a statement after one of its guests went viral for supposedly wearing a “creepy full-face mask” during his appearance on the network.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, social media users erupted on Thursday night after a Fox News segment featuring retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward went viral because he appeared to be wearing a “creepy full-face mask.”
Harward is a retired U.S. Navy Vice Admiral and decorated Navy SEAL. He has served as Deputy Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), led special operations across multiple theaters, and is fluent in Farsi, having lived in Tehran as a teenager.
The topic of the interview was President Donald Trump’s hardline approach to Iran, including crushing sanctions, potential military options, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the strategy of forcing the regime to capitulate without another nuclear deal.
Harward told viewers that Trump “has time on his hands” and can deliver a decisive strike. He stressed the importance of sustained economic pressure and naval strength over rushed negotiations.
But the clip did not go viral for what he was saying. Instead, social media was captivated by Harward’s neck, which had a dark line or what appeared to be a “separation” below the jawline and at the collar.
Immediately, people began insisting it was the edge of a hyper-realistic silicone full-face mask.
