Hugh Hewitt resigns from Washington Post after heated live stream exchange

Conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt announced his resignation from the Washington Post on Friday after a heated exchange during a live stream. He left the show after expressing frustration over questions regarding Donald Trump's election rhetoric. Hewitt's departure followed a disagreement with host Jonathan Capehart about Trump's claims of election fraud. Hewitt criticized the discussion as unfair and stated, “I’m done,” before walking off the set. Hewitt had been contributing to the Post since 2017, writing columns every six weeks. The Post confirmed his exit but emphasized the dynamic nature of its live journalism platform.
