Conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt stormed off a Washington Post live event after a heated exchange about election integrity with host Jonathan Capehart and editor Ruth Marcus. The discussion centered on former President Donald Trump's legal actions in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which Hewitt argued were legitimate court victories, countering the narrative of preemptive election contestation. Capehart accused Hewitt of frequently presenting unfounded claims, prompting Hewitt's abrupt departure from the broadcast. Following the incident, Hewitt confirmed his resignation from the Washington Post, where he had contributed since 2017. The event has drawn attention to the ongoing distrust in media, with conservatives criticizing the Washington Post's perceived left-leaning bias. The fallout marks another high-profile resignation amidst the Post's controversial decision to refrain from endorsing candidates in the 2024 presidential election.
