Hugh Hewitt quits Washington Post after abruptly leaving live show: 'I won’t come back'

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from the Washington Post as a contributing columnist after abruptly leaving a live discussion on Friday. 

During a segment about a judge agreeing to a Republican National Committee and Trump campaign request to extend in-person voting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Jonathan Capehart asked on-air guest Ruth Marcus: “Is it me or does it seem like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election?"

Marcus said that Trump has been “laying the groundwork” to contest the election for months.

Hewitt pointed out that Bucks County violated the law.

"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," he said, referring to voters in line being turned away early.

“We are news people, even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story. So, yes, he’s upset about Bucks County, but he was right and he won in court. That’s the story,” Hewitt added.

Capehart shot back at Hewitt.

“I don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, many times you come here saying lots of things that aren’t based in fact.”

In response, Hewitt said, "I won’t come back, Jonathan, I’m done."

He took off his earpiece and walked away from the camera shot.

“This is the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of,” Hewitt said.
