Too late, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Since he&#8217;s been on MSNBC and other mainstream shows he&#8217;s defended the MSM personalities to his listeners and talked about how nice they all are.

With them he&#8217;s become a shill and it&#8217;s embarrassing and it&#8217;s obvious.<\/p>\n<p>When Robert Mueller was appointed as a special prosecutor he was lavish in his praise, insisting that Rod Rosenstein had hit a home run because Mueller would just focus in a narrow area, Russian collusion with Trump or his team during the election and since. Who&#8217;s telling him this stuff, I wonder? Who is he getting his information from? Chuck Todd? I haven&#8217;t heard him lately on this subject but I knew that the appointment was a disaster and that he (Mueller) would not be confined to the original task &#8212; you know: the one that would actually help the country if he investigated it and reported on it in a timely fashion. Mueller is a pig I&#8217;m sorry to say. He&#8217;s a friend of Comey&#8217;s I guess and, if so, it shows very bad judgment on his part. Mueller is a very bad guy. Louis Gohmert says this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So, we\u2019re not dealing with honest people here. We\u2019re dealing with dishonest, manipulative people and I know that people keep saying, \u201cGee, you know, I trust Mueller. He\u2019s an impeccable character\u2026\u201d He is not. He\u2019s dirty. He is mean. He is vindictive. He did more damage to the rank and file of the FBI than any FBI director in history, including J. Edgar Hoover. He created a program that forced thousands and thousands of years of experience out of the FBI. Why? Because his ego could not allow anyone to be in the FBI with more experience than him, that might make a suggestion that would question some of the stupid decisions he made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Why doesn&#8217;t Hewitt know this? (The Gohmert quote above was made on Hewitt&#8217;s show when he was on vacation and Rose Tennent was filling in for him, BTW.) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/h2k4mos07flovx4\/20170616%20Louie%20Gohmert%20with%20Rose%20Tennent.mp3?dl=0\">Here&#8217;s the link to the whole interview<\/a>. It&#8217;s pretty disgusting and very depressing.<\/p>\n<p>Then this latest stupid virtue signalling that he did when he recently interviewed Dennis Prager about Prager&#8217;s tweet that raised such a storm of controversy:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"permalink-header\"><a class=\"account-group js-account-group js-action-profile js-user-profile-link js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DennisPrager\"><span class=\"FullNameGroup\"><strong class=\"fullname show-popup-with-id \">Dennis Prager<\/strong>\u200f<span class=\"UserBadges\"><span class=\"Icon Icon--verified\"><span class=\"u-hiddenVisually\">Verified account<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"UserNameBreak\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"username u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">@<b>DennisPrager<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-tweet-text-container\">\n<p class=\"TweetTextSize TweetTextSize--jumbo js-tweet-text tweet-text\" lang=\"en\">The news media in the West pose a far greater danger to Western civilization than Russia does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-tweet-details-fixer tweet-details-fixer\">\n<div class=\"client-and-actions\"><span class=\"metadata\">10:55 AM &#8211; 14 Jul 2017<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hewitt interviewed Prager on July 17th and said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with you on this tweet on both what it says and, more importantly, how it was perceived.&#8221; This is a stab in the back of his friend. We all can see this is virtue signalling for his friends in the MSM. He probably has to say this or they wouldn&#8217;t have anything to do with him if he was seen as defending Prager.<\/p>\n<p>Myself, I loved Prager for saying this. It&#8217;s obviously true and the sentiment is dear to my heart. What bothers me about Hewitt is that he has slowly gone into the lion&#8217;s den and met the Stockholm Syndrome. I&#8217;ve been listening to his podcast from the very beginning &#8212; I think it started in 2009 or 2010 and I think he was great and is still very good at many things that are important to the country and the conservative movement but I&#8217;ve watched this slow motion move into happy talk about the media as he&#8217;s become more involved with them.<\/p>\n<p>Hugh, these people are not your friends. If things get difficult for you they will not come to your aid.
