"I'm here in Washington driving to work for the last time in my Tesla," Kelly stated. "When I bought this thing, I didn't think it was going to become a political issue. But every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing to our country."
