You should mark this as satire and sarcasm.
Although the Governor spoke about what he though as an option ... it wasn’t a call for secession.
And Dem legislators are p*ssed. Personally, I’d tell em to go suck a rock. They should be listening to the Governors comments in total to the press and the assembles citizens ... and not key in on two or three words.
But that is Dem style.
The title and source do that quite effectively.
