Hugh Hewitt is leaving the Washington Post after storming off the air

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from the Washington Post after arguing Friday with two of the paper’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 of 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 spewing misinformation, Hewitt ripped out his cochlea and said, “I’m done. This is the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of of.”

Hewitt, who hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, then left the paper, which has been confounded by owner Jeff Bezos’ decision to kill an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

He has written hundreds of columns for the Washington Post since 2017.

Two sources familiar with Hewitt’s exit first revealed it to The New York Post.

“I actually left the Post, but I only wrote a column for them every six weeks or so,” Hewitt later told Fox News Digital.

The New York Post has sought comment from WashPo.

Friday’s outburst came during a conversation about a lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, where a judge agreed to a request to extend in-person voting in Bucks County.

The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee successfully sought an extension of the deadline after several people lined up to get mail ballots were turned away after the 10 a.m. cutoff. 17.00 Tuesday.

“Is it me or does it look like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to compete for the election,” Capehart asked Marcus.

“By alleging cheating occurred, but suing Bucks County (Pennsylvania) for alleged irregularities.”

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

Hewitt then tried to get a word in, saying, “Jonathan, I have to speak up.”

“Let Ruth finish, Hugh,” Capehart shot back.

After waiting his turn, Hewitt noted that this was news to be reported.

“Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they broke the law and told people to go home,” he said.

Hewitt also cited the recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s move to purge 1,600 people from the voter rolls.

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

After a brief pause, Capehart told Hewitt, “I don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, a lot of times you come in here and say a lot of things that aren’t based in fact.”

The accusation enraged Hewitt.

“I’m not coming back, Jonathan, I’m done,” he said. “You guys are working, that’s fine, I’m done.”

Conservative media praised the veteran radio host and pundit for standing up to Capehart’s badgering.

“BRAVO @hughhewitt! Matter-of-fact, level-headed, brave and appropriately STUFFED with these left-wing hacks posing as journalists,” beamed conservative radio host Megyn Kelly.

The exchange comes amid upheaval at the Beltway paper that includes the resignation of three opinion editors over the paper’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in 36 years.

Bezos warned in an October 28 statement that the paper’s staff had been “increasingly” willing to “only talk to a certain elite” rather than the wider American public.

“More and more we are talking to ourselves,” Bezos wrote. “It wasn’t always like that—in the 1990s, we achieved 80 percent household penetration in the DC metro area.”

The publication reportedly caused 250,000 readers to cancel their digital subscriptions in protest.
