Hugh Hewitt: I Don’t Talk About Jan. 6 Because My Listeners Would ‘Turn Me Off’
Longtime conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday said the quiet part out loud, admitting he isn’t too eager to talk about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots on-air because he fears losing his own listeners.
The admission came Monday morning during Hewitt’s Salem Radio Network program while interviewing former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a one-time Trump pal who in recent months has turned into something of a MAGA critic.
“I never talk about January 6th because I like my audience,” the radio host declared. “I don’t want them to turn me off. And they’re bored. They do not like it,” he said, adding that because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected several Republican appointees to the congressional committee investigating the day’s events, “It is illegitimate.”
