Trump blasts Hugh Hewitt as 'a third-rate radio announcer'

Donald Trump is blasting Hugh Hewitt after stumbling over foreign policy questions in an interview with the conservative radio host.

 

“[He is] a third rate radio announcer,” Trump told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning.

 

Trump clashed with the radio host on Thursday evening's "The Hugh Hewitt Show." Hewitt began asking him what he called “commander-in-chief” questions about international affairs. The exchange became heated when Trump mistook a question about Iran’s Quds Force as a query about the Kurds.

Reports emerged on Friday that Trump’s campaign staff are furious over Hewitt’s questioning of their candidate and is considering blacklisting him from future interviews. “@HughHewitt producer says Trump’s team spitting fire over ‘gotcha’ FP Qs,” Townhall.com Political Editor Guy Benson tweeted. “Threatening to never do show again.”

 

Carly Fiorina, another Republican White House hopeful, capitalized on Trump’s confrontation with Hewitt by having a more cordial interview with the broadcaster later on Thursday night. “I don’t think they’re ‘gotcha’ questions at all,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said of Hewitt’s questioning.

These people remind me a lot of the Paulbots. In that they don't take criticism (no matter how mild) well.

Hugh Hewitt: is he Donald Trump's arch nemesis – or the antidote to Fox News?

 

In a trendy exposed-brick studio – fake bookcases, a backless chair with comfy cushions, a printed backdrop of the glittering Denver skyline behind it – Hugh Hewitt experienced a rare moment of near-exasperation on Tuesday.

 

He was watching CNN, on which he was to imminently appear, as the network’s anchor Don Lemon teased an interview with the American conservative’s interviewer of choice: “Coming up, the man who stumped Trump.” “I did not stump Trump,” the man muttered.

However, the Trump foreign-policy debacle has led Hewitt to re-think his approach. He said that in his questions at the Reagan library on Wednesday he now planned to “state who the person is – don’t make anyone guess”.

 

Hewitt is planning to avoid long, involved questions for Trump and anybody else. “In the first debate, the moderators spoke for 34 minutes – that’s too much time,” he told the Guardian. “My ideal is nobody’s talking about me on Thursday.” “I don’t want to tip my hand with any questions that … they can read and then get ready for,” he said. “But what I have made a habit of doing with everyone is asking: what will you do about Iran? What are you going to do about Libya, which is becoming as bad as Syria? What I want to do is ask questions that will allow the candidates to talk to each other.” CNN has made an editorial decision, he said, to not “step on” actual debate itself, with which Hewitt agrees. “It’s not about us,” he said.

From the comments I doubt any of the commenters have listened to Hugh much...or at all.
