Hugh Hewitt: 'There Are No Gotcha Questions'

Talk radio host Hugh Hewitt has said in the wake of last week's controversial foreign policy interview with Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump that "I deplore 'gotcha questions,'" yet he's repeatedly defended asking them in the past and even says on his website that there's no such thing as a "gotcha question."

Hewitt reminds me of the used car salesman trying to sell you a car and in every other sentence he says that you can trust him because he really wants to give you a good deal. You then get the feeling he wants to fleece you.

In Hewitt's Trump interview he kept saying that he was not trying to ask gotcha questions and you could not help conclude that is what he was doing. He would not stop mentioning gotcha questions.

Then after the Trump interview he brought in Fiorina and he kept asking her if she thought he was asking gotcha questions. That is like asking the thief if he has ever stolen anything. This was Fiorina's opportunity to pile on Trump and she did with great finesse.

So the entire interview was about asking gotcha questions, all the while saying that this is not about gotcha questions. Makes me laugh. Hewitt and Megyn Kelly must have compared notes.

I wouldn’t put it past him to tell Carley’s people when setting up the interview what he was going to ask - just to make Trump look bad (ane gain points with the GOPe.}

He is just like a prick

The way the show that included Trump was handled including Fiorina afterwords was so transparently FAKE, a play following a script. Hewitt is a great fan of Shakespeare... And he put on a show.

Hugh has already said that regarding a clearly gotcha question.

Obama would never be asked such a question, because he is on a first name basis with terrorists and American haters.

Huge Halfwit is another pious Liberal fake.
His record clearly shows that he is lying about ‘gotcha’ questions and is so biased that he should not even be on a fair panel, much less a moderator.

Trump doesn’t know how to fold hotel towels, but he knows how to run an empire of hotels.

Trump set up Hewitt. Basically prevents Hewitt from asking Gotcha Questions...or at the very least makes Hewitt's questions suspicious re: are they gotcha or aren't they.

Trump is a master strategist.

Eggzactly.
