Hugh Hewitt stormed off the Washington Post Live show after Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus unfairly attacked President Trump over his lawsuit in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Both Capehart and Marcus claimed that Trump was setting the stage for contesting the election. But that infuriated Hugh Hewitt, who pointed out that the courts in Pennsylvania agreed with both Trump and the RNC that Bucks County had been turning away voters and extended early voting hours.
Hewitt said Trump and the RNC winning the lawsuit IS the story and proceeded to lecture them about how they must report the whole story because they are journalists.
That was met with indignation by Capehart, who didn’t appreciate the lecture and accused Hewitt of saying things many times that weren’t factual.
That did it for Hewitt. He called this Washington Post Live show the “most unfair election ad I have ever been a part of” and stormed off saying he’d never come back.
Watch below:
Another bad day for @WashingtonPost. Upset with @CapehartJ and @RuthMarcus for inaccurate attacks on Trump, @hughhewitt rips off his headset and leaves lives #PostLive show. “I’m done. This is the most unfair election ad I have ever been a part of.” Show falls apart, ends early. pic.twitter.com/fsGC1GhIrx
