From the New York Post: Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from the Washington Post after feuding Friday with two of the newspaper’s liberal columnists during a live talk show — calling it “the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of.”
Hewitt stormed off the set during the online show “First Look” with Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus, who claimed former President Donald Trump was “laying the groundwork” to contest Tuesday’s election if he lost.
After being cut off by Capehart, an MSNBC host, and then accused by him of spouting misinformation, Hewitt ripped out his earpiece and said: “I’m done. This is the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of.”
Hewitt, who hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, then quit the paper, which has been roiled by owner Jeff Bezos’ decision to kill an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a statement later to Fox News Digital, Hewitt confirmed, “I have in fact quit the Post but I was only writing a column for them every six weeks or so.”
