GERALDO RIVERA: I think talk of secession is treason, Martha.
I want to be very clear--
Rush Limbaugh is a powerhouse broadcaster.
He's one in a zillion.
They come along once a generation.
But that talk is reckless, it's irresponsible.
KYLIE MAR: On this story with Martha MacCallum Thursday
night, Geraldo Rivera ripped into conservative radio host
Rush Limbaugh, who on Wednesday suggested that the country
is trending towards secession.
GERALDO RIVERA: I live in Ohio, a red state.
I'm strongly supported President Trump,
but I'm also pro-gun control, pro-immigration reform.
Leaders who accentuate the differences
and exacerbate the divide are themselves responsible.
KYLIE MAR: Limbaugh walked back the comments on Thursday
after receiving backlash, saying he was only relaying
the speculation of others.
Adding that he was not, and does not, advocate secession.
But that didn't stop Rivera from poking a hole in one
of Limbaugh's reasons for why he thought it was
possible in the first place.
GERALDO RIVERA: I had to laugh.
Rush goes on to say that people where he is
have no idea what people in New York are thinking,
and they're so different, they're
like a different species.
Half of New York lives in Florida
where Rush Limbaugh lives.
It's preposterous.
Let's get over it.
