Hugh Hewitt to play Megyn Kelly at CNN GOP debate. Hugh Hewitt is a somewhat popular ‘conservative’ radio host, though I’ve never listened to his show. He will be a moderator at the CNN GOP next month. Already, Hewitt has come out against Trump. Hewitt will moderate the debate with Fake Jake Tapper. CNN is so desperate for ratings, they might have Hugh Hewitt pull a Megyn Kelly at the next debate. If 24 million actually turned in to watch the Jerry Springer debate on Fox News, CNN must be licking their chops. Imagine if they go after Donald Trump like Megyn Kelly did. It would be in the news for at least a week and get CNN some badly needed attention.

This weekend on Meet The Press in an exchange with host Chuck Todd, Hewitt admitted he doesn’t think Trump can be president of the United States.
“Hugh Hewitt, let me start with you,” Todd asked Hewitt. “Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be president?”
“No, no he doesn’t,” Hewitt replied. “A disappointing part of this debate is it was a 9-10 debate in a 9-11 world. We have the Iran deal coming up, the most consequential deal facing probably the next 30 to 40 years in the world. It got very little attention. The Russian cyber attack on the Pentagon got very little attention.”
“Is that the candidates’ fault or the organizers’ fault?” Todd interjected.
“Well, it’s both,” Hewitt said before blaming Trump for Fox News’ mistakes. “Donald stepped on a lot of important stories. The New York Times has a story on Hillary Clinton’s server. Only Scott Walker brought up Hillary Clinton’s server. So I thought what he did to build the audience, it was enormous, at the same time I wanted a different issue set talked about so the Republican primary voter lost.”
When Hewitt appeared on Morning Joe on MSNBC on Monday morning, he doubled down in his belief that Trump doesn’t have the “temperament” to be president of the United States. During that appearance, Hewitt did criticize the Fox News moderators for in his opinion being “out to embarrass Donald Trump” while not spending enough time talking about important issues.
