'I'm Done!': Conservative Columnist Quits Washington Post After Live Stream Meltdown
HuffPost
Hugh Hewitt took out his headset and stormed off the Post's live show after a question on Trump's rhetoric.
Hugh Hewitt, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post, revealed that he quit the newspaper Friday after feuding with Jonathan Capehart in a live stream over Donald Trump’s election rhetoric.
“I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m done,” said Hewitt, who tossed his headset aside and stormed off the Post’s “First Look” live show hosted by Capehart.
He continued, “This is the most unfair election ad I have ever been a part of. You guys are working. That’s fine. I’m done.”
Hewitt’s reaction arrived after Capehart asked him and Ruth Marcus, an associate editor and columnist for the Post, whether Trump was “laying the groundwork for contesting” the election following the GOP nominee’s recent Truth Social claim that Pennsylvania election officials were “cheating.”
Hewitt, who revealed that he voted for Trump last month, interrupted Marcus as she predicted the former president would “rev up his supporters to contest elections” this year and hit courts to make “whatever arguments he can no matter how farfetched.”
