Fox News host Pete Hegseth surprised viewers by leading an on-air prayer during a Sunday segment. Inviting his co-hosts and audience to join, Hegseth bowed his head and began the prayer, supported by a Bible app.
Acknowledging the Lenten season, Hegseth read a prayer from the Hallow app, expressing gratitude and seeking divine guidance. Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy chimed in with an “Amen.”
While some praised the initiative, others criticized it as insincere, calling it a political stunt. However, expressions of faith on Fox News aren’t unprecedented, with previous instances of hosts discussing spirituality on air.
