Geraldo Rivera Calls Rush Limbaugh's Secession Warning 'Treason'
Brendan Cole
Comments by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh that political division in the U.S. is pushing the country towards a break up have been described as "treason" and "reckless" by Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera.
After he was asked whether the GOP could ever win an election without taking back Democrat cities, Limbaugh told his listeners on Wednesday that the conflict between liberal and conservative ideologies posed an existential threat to the U.S.
His comments come as 18 states have joined Texas in launching Supreme Court legal action to reject votes in battleground states won by President-elect Joe Biden.
"I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York?" Limbaugh said. "I actually think we are trending toward secession."
"There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs," Limbaugh said, adding, "we can't be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way." He later clarified that he was not advocating for the break-up of the country.
