Hugh Hewitt: Famous WaPo Columnist Quits Live On Air

"I'm done. This is the most unfair election ad I have ever been a part of."

Hugh Hewitt is…was an occasional columnist for WaPo – The Washington Post. When he was on air with two other WaPo personalities, he became frustrated and “stormed” off the set and quit.

Hugh Hewitt is a popular conservative who endeavors to be balanced – but WaPo has been a giant leftist biased publication for years. They are primarily left wing so after one of the men began to lecture Hewitt and claim his facts were wrong. It was the final straw.

“Hewitt quit after a clip of him went viral earlier on Friday when he walked off the Washington Post’s online show, “First Look,” with liberal columnists Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus on its “Washington Post Live” platform. It came during a discussion of former President Trump’s rhetoric around election integrity.

“Does it seem like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania?” Capehart asked Marcus. “By suing Bucks County for alleged irregularities, and this is on top of his continual assertion that if he loses, it’s because of cheating.”

Marcus said Trump had been preparing to blame an election loss on cheating for months.

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

As Marcus went on, Hewitt tried to interject, but Capehart snapped, “Let Ruth finish, Hugh.”

“Well, I’ve just got to say, we’re news people, even though it’s the opinion section,” Hewitt said. “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. So that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful. The Supreme Court ruled that [Virginia Gov.] Glenn Youngkin was successful.” Fox Digital

That statement triggered Capehart, who responded by saying he didn’t appreciate being lectured by someone “saying lots of things that aren’t based in fact.” Note that Capehart never provided what those facts were. Typical Leftist.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Hugh Hewitt then stated: “I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m done. I’m done. This is the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of. You guys are working. That’s fine. I’m done.”

The Washington Post just lost a decent columnist due to their rabid leftist stance.
