You have already been radicalized. The Utah Governor hadn't been. And I see you nazi's are all over him for it.
“To my young friends, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage,” he said. “Your generation has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different than what we are suffering through right now.”
Shortly after he finished, Cox’s phone rang. The president was calling.
“You know, the type of person who would do something like that to Charlie Kirk would love to do it to us,”
It also laid bare a sharp divide within the GOP over the way forward, even as prominent Democrats and some Republicans praised Cox’s performance before a national audience Friday.
Cox said Americans faced a decision: “Is this the end of a dark chapter of our history, or the beginning?”
“He’s just a deeply good human being,” he added, “and I’m thankful that in this moment of real tension in our country, that Spencer is helping to lead us through.”
Cox implored the country to dedicate themselves to end a cycle of violent division, echoing his longstanding calls for civility in the nation’s political discourse and urging people to “disagree better.”
“I desperately call on every American – Republican, Democrat, liberal, progressive, conservative, MAGA, all of us – to please, please, please follow what Charlie taught me,” Cox said Friday,
sharing a lesson he recounted from Kirk: “Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much.”
While the governor has built a strong conservative record, he has faced at times sharp criticism from Trump-aligned Republicans. The disconnect raises the question of whether there is truly an audience inside the GOP for the type of message Cox has sought to deliver.
I wish we had a president like him.
