Imagining The Many Voices Inside Hugh Hewitt’s Head

There is no shortage of opportunities to offer a variety of observations on right-wing contributions to political discourse. Once more, I selected a more recent offering from Hugh Hewitt (see also this prior piece) because it is yet another ideal example (congrats, I guess … ) of a worshipful Trump supporter following the Right Script to a T:

I’ll just say “it” — whatever the Trump-supporting “it” observation might be — elaborate not at all; issue a smackdown of some liberal position, statement, or representative; then move on to deliver another right-wing broadside relying on various combinations of pseudo-facts; questionable validity; little substance; curious interpretations of truth; or just familiar buzzwords from the Official Playbook, all to keep the faithful sufficiently riled up once again.

An unfortunate sign of these polarized/partisan times….

As I read Hewitt’s observations about the upcoming Joe Biden v D. Trump campaign, which was published in between Trump’s June 1 Lafayette Square/St. John’s and last weekend’s Tulsa debacles, I found myself wondering what other voices* inside this writer’s head might sound like if they offered their own commentary to the author’s right-wing pronouncements after the op-ed made the final cut. The published version must always properly toe the Trumpian-party line, of course….
