Hugh Hewitt quits The Washington Post after storming off newspaper’s live show
CNN ^ | Fri November 1, 2024 | Liam Reilly

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from his contributing columnist role at The Washington Post on Friday after storming off the newspaper’s live show over a disagreement with his colleagues.

Hewitt’s resignation came after an appearance on “First Look,” the Post’s live show hosted by Jonathan Capehart, alongside Ruth Marcus, an associate editor and columnist at the Post, during a discussion over former President Donald Trump legal efforts in battleground states.

“Is it me, or does it seem like, this week, Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania by suing Bucks County for alleged irregularities?” Capehart asked Marcus and Hewitt.

“No election can be fair in Donald Trump’s mind unless Donald Trump wins it,” Marcus said before Hewitt interjected.

“I’ve just got to say we are newspeople even though we’re with the opinion section. It’s got to be reported — Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home,” Hewitt said. “So, that lawsuit was by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful.”

Hewitt was referencing a recent successful bid by the Trump campaign and RNC to extend mail-in voting in the Philadelphia suburb. On Wednesday morning, the campaign filed a lawsuit claiming the county had illegally turned away “many” voters before Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline to apply in person. A Pennsylvania judge sided with the trio on the same day.

It had to be pretty bad for Hugh Hewitt, CINO, to leave the interview.

HS debate students could run circles around Hewitt's twisted logic. His repeated lies are disproven by reliable online searches & The Washington Post should've canned him years ago. He's a weak writer w/on-camera bluster that works at FOX or..

from "the comments"

Whoopsie. All those lefties Hugh has been shtuping are about to feast.

In December 2016, during the time the actual Electoral College Electors voted, in some States each Elector had a police escort due to the threats from the Marxists. Hussein, Billary and company had an entire post-election campaign to force the Electors to change their votes.

The above, like most democRAT crimes, was flushed down the memory hole.

NNBC news had something on tonight about “2020 election deniers are now working as poll watchers”, as if there was something wrong with that. The more voting irregularities that are brought to daylight BEFORE election day, the better chances there will be at least some reduction in cheating. IMHO

What that host said to him was offensive as hell. Hewitt just spoke some facts, and the. The host made it personal.

Good for him for walking off.

I remember how much he used to drool over Mittens. He even wrote a book called, “A Mormon in the White House”.

He's a practicing Christian, and that makes him inherently more conservative than anything Romney. He did something that will give him new enemies. A good time to give him encouragement.
