He is too friendly with Beltway Journ-O-Listers like Jake Tapper and Candy Crowley, who have clearly been revealed to be Democrat operatives. He defends them even when they’re indefensible.
Like a lot of people he gets sucked into that world and completely loses touch with what people are thinking out here in flyover country.
Hugh had Jennifer Rubin on his show as a regular...the one RINO journalist who above anyone else absolutely has to be a leftist plant.
Personally, I think he’s positioning himself as the new George Will, once the bowtied one is put out to pasture. Very pally with all the beltway types.
