I thought I was the only one pissed off over Hugh Hewitt on today's MTP. Twitter's going nuts.

He said that Trump is winning in the shutdown mess.

I was watching it and thought "They FIRED this prick. Why are they bringing him in as a Trump cheerleader?"

And, apparently, so did hundreds of other viewers. He's trending on Twitter and they are all "WTF" tweets.

Hewitt predicted that the repukes would keep the house. And I loved it he was proven wrong. He said it would be a red wave and the polls were wrong. Why they keep putting him on is gross. I guess him and the toad are friends in real life. The other one that bugs me is Steve Kornacke. He is repuke lite worst than Chris Matthews.

He is an ass
He is an idiot!
All I can figure is that they want some sort of crazy equivalency.
Stupid.

Hewitt's insipid smile reminds me of a mortician funeral director, trying to sell me the most expensive casket. Don't get angry. Just change the channel. You'll be glad you did.

grace my TV screen. I don't wait for the right wing spew to start spilling from his mouth.

He's no different than watching Matt Schlapp. Both of them should have exclusive contracts with Fox News. I don't mind hearing honestly expressed opinions that aren't the same as mine, but I have better ways to spend my time than listening to partisan piff.

Enough said. No one should ever pay attention to a word Hugh Hewitt says.
He's bad for truthful public debate and he's bad for the country.

To let them know that my wife and I watch them off and on throughout the day and Rachel at night, but if I see fucking Hugh Hewitt one more fucking time... and it's not to report he's been diagnosed with dick cancer, I'm not going to watch one more fucking second
