Conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt resigns from Washington Post after live stream outburst

Conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt announced his resignation from the Washington Post on Friday after a heated exchange during a live stream. He expressed frustration over the newspaper's coverage of election issues, stating, "I’m done," before leaving the show. The conflict arose during a discussion about Donald Trump's election rhetoric. Hewitt criticized the portrayal of Trump's legal challenges, asserting that the media should report the full story. His comments led to a tense moment with host Jonathan Capehart. Hewitt has been a columnist for the Post since 2017 but noted he was only contributing every six weeks. The Post acknowledged the dynamic nature of its live journalism platform in response to his departure.
