Hugh Hewitt: Watch: Hugh Hewitt storms out of the Washington Post live and says “I'm done” and resigns

Hugh Lewitt (above right) left the live show saying: “I’m done.”

Political expert and conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt stormed out of a live talk show “First Look,” where he was fighting Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus. “I'm done. This is the most unfair canvassing I've ever been a part of,” Lewitt said, then left his seat as the live broadcast claimed that Donald Trump had laid the groundwork for him to run in Tuesday's election if he lost .
Hewitt then gave up Washington Post who was in the news because she didn't support a presidential candidate this time. It was reported that the editorial board had a recommendation for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was killed by owner Jeff Bezos.
“I actually left the Post, but I only wrote a column for them about every six weeks,” Hewitt later told Fox News Digital.
The live panel discussed a Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania in which a judge approved a request to expand in-person voting in Bucks County. The Trump campaign said many people who were online for mail-in ballots were turned away after 5 p.m.

“Is it me or does it look like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for participation in the election,” Capehart asked Marcus.
When it was Hewitt's turn, he said the news had to be reported. “Bucks County was overturned by the court and ordered to grant additional days because they broke the law and told people to go home,” he said.
“We are news people, even if we have an opinion, and we must report the whole story when we address one part of the story. Yes, he's upset with Bucks County, but he was right and won in court. That’s the story,” Hewitt said.
Capehart told Hewitt: “I don't appreciate being lectured about reporting when you, Hugh, come here a lot and say things that aren't 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 standing up, writing: “BRAVO @hughhewitt! Factual, sober, courageous and appropriate enough for these left-wing writers to pretend to be journalists.”
