‘Worst Legal Take I’ve Ever Heard!’ Hugh Hewitt Melts Down After Jessica Tarlov Analyzes Trump Colorado Case

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt melted down on Wednesday as Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov weighed in on the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot.

During a panel discussion on Fox News’ The Special Report with Bret Baier, Hewitt could be seen rolling his eyes and shaking his head as Tarlov defended the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling.

After Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley accused “the left” of trying to circumvent the democratic process, Tarlov responded, “This case was brought by a group of Republicans. It was not brought by Democrats. This doesn’t have to do with leftist politics, and Donald Trump is the only person running for president who challenged our Constitution.”

“Stop! Stop!” interrupted Hewitt. “Jessica, this is the worst legal take I’ve ever heard! It’s absurd. It’s absolutely absurd for a non-lawyer to sit here and say that minus a confrontation with someone who has not been charged, much less convicted, that the court can take them off the ballot.”

He continued, “It is a shameful moment in American jurisprudence. It is like watching a bad high school musical. It is a cringe-inducing moment for anyone who has ever taught the law, practiced the law, and Colorado will be scorned for decades because of this, and it will be reversed by the court very, very quickly.”

Asked whether all nine U.S. Supreme Court justices would likely reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling, Hewitt said, “I pray 9-0 because if Justice Brown Jackson or Justice Sotomayor throws in with the pirates in Colorado, their reputations will be as damaged as the Colorado justices’ reputations are. It is an absurd decision.”
