Fox News hired radio host and former Washington Post columnist Hugh Hewitt as a contributor on Friday. The veteran conservative pundit will make his debut appearance on Friday evening’s “Special Report With Bret Baier” at 6 p.m. ET.
Hewitt has been a frequent guest commentator on Fox News in the past and has already been writing opinion stories for its website. His signing comes after Hewitt resigned from the Washington Post in November 2024, after getting up and ditching the paper’s live news show over how it was covering Donald Trump.
He wasn’t thrilled with how “Washington Post Live” host Jonathan Capehart and then-associate editor Ruth Marcus, his fellow guest on the show, were talking about the Trump campaign’s push to extend in-person voting in suburban Philadelphia.
