Hugh Hewitt: Watch: Hugh Hewitt Storms Out of Washington Post Live, Says ‘I’m Done,’ Resigns

Watch: Hugh Hewitt leaves the Washington Post live, says, 'I'm done,' and resigns

Political pundit and conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt stormed out of a live talk show “First Look” he was fighting on Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus. “I’m done. This is the most dishonest election ad I’ve ever been a part of,” Lewitt said, before leaving his seat as it was claimed live that Donald Trump was laying the groundwork to contest Tuesday’s election if he lost.
Hewitt then quit the Washingtonpost which has been in the news for not supporting any presidential candidate this time. It was reported that the newsroom had an endorsement ready for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was assassinated by owner Jeff Bezos.
“I did quit the Post, but I only wrote a column for them every six weeks,” Hewitt later told Fox News Digital.
The live panel discussed a lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, in which a judge agreed to a request to expand in-person voting in Bucks County. The Trump campaign said many people who were online for ballots after 5 p.m. were turned away.

“Is it just me or does it seem like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election,” Capehart asked Marcus.
When it was Hewitt’s turn to speak, he said the news needed to be reported. “Bucks County was overturned by the court and ordered to open additional days because they were breaking the law and telling people to go home,” he said.
“We are news people, even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story when we bring up part of the story. So yes, he is angry about Bucks County, but he was right and he won in court. That’s the story,” Hewitt said.
Capehart told Hewitt, “I don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, you often come here and say a lot of things that are not based on facts.”
“I’m not coming back, Jonathan, I’m done,” he said. “You guys are working, that’s fine, I’m done.”
Megyn Kelly praised Hewitt for his rebellion, writing: “BRAVO @hughhewitt! Factual, down-to-earth, courageous and appropriate enough from these left-wing hackers masquerading as journalists.”
