Conservative Writer Jesse Kelly Defends Controversial Piece Calling for U.S. to ‘Divorce’: ‘We Don’t Have Any Common Values’ (Mediaite)

Conservative writer Jesse Kelly defended his calls for a territorial division of the U.S. Thursday, claiming much of the nation has nothing in common.

Kelly initially presented the idea Tuesday in The Federalist, an online magazine, where he advocated for the mass secession of mid-western and southern states from the rest of the country, even including a map with a hand-drawn dividing line.
