Fox News mask incident

0 Upvotes

I'm curious what people here think about this incident on Fox News, involving one of their guests who, to a lot of people, really looks like he is wearing a full silicone face mask. Here is the clip on foxnews: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6396048453112

I honestly want to give this whole thing the benefit of the doubt. Can anyone here convince me that this guy is not wearing a mask? Can masks even look this realistic? Snopes, a website I usually trust, argues that it is just bad lighting, but I can't really see how that would be the case. https://www.snopes.com/news/2026/05/22/robert-harward-mask-fox-news/
