(The Hill) -- Conservative radio host and political pundit Hugh Hewitt stormed off a Washington Post live event on Friday after an argument over former President Donald Trump's rhetoric on election integrity ahead of Tuesday's vote. "Is it me or does it seem like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election," Post host Jonathan Capehart asked Ruth Marcus, who was appearing with Hewitt as part of the live event. "By claiming that cheating was taking place, but suing Bucks County [Pennsylvania] for alleged irregularities ... " Trump sues CBS for $10B over Harris’s ‘60 Minutes’ interview Marcus replied that Trump has been "laying the groundwork" to contest the election for months, setting Hewitt off.

"Well, I’ve just got to say, we’re news people, even though it’s the opinion section," Hewitt said after Marcus finished. "It’s got to be reported. Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home. So, that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful. The Supreme Court ruled that Glenn Youngkin was successful," he added, referring to the GOP Virginia governor's efforts to purge some 1,600 people from the voter rolls. "We are news people, even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story. So, yes, he’s upset about Bucks County, but he was right and he won in court. That’s the story," Hewitt said. After a brief pause, Capehart told Hewitt, "I don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, many times you come here saying lots of things that aren't based in fact." "I won't come back, Jonathan, I'm done," Hewitt said, ripping his earpiece out and standing up. "I'm done. This is the most unfair election ad I've ever been a part of," Hewitt continued, his face no longer visible on the screen. "You guys are working, that's fine, I'm done." Dana White, Mark Cuban spar over Trump, Harris: ‘You’re so wrong’ Capehart attempted to move on and ask Marcus about a recent column she wrote, but the event was halted again when Marcus' camera froze. The host was eventually forced to end the event early, saying, "Everybody if you've been watching ... you know these conversations can be interesting, contentious." "You just saw Hugh Hewitt leave, which is lamentable, unfortunate. It is what it is. Thank you very much for joining us," he continued and urged viewers to subscribe to the Post.
