Ominous words coming from the new Governor of Utah Republican Spencer Cox. Speaking at his inauguration in southern Utah today Cox said in part:
"...we are more divided than at any time in our lifetimes as the news is filled with civil unrest and protests, including one outside this venue today...Hateful rhetoric dominates our political discourse...Conflict and passionate debate around ideas can be healthy, but contempt and contention will rot the souls of our nation and her people. And this division isn't just ugly or unfortunate. It's dangerous."
Cox's comments appeared to be directly aimed at Pro-President Trump and Anti-Coronavirus Restriction protesters gathered outside his inauguration. They displayed signs supporting the President and saying that the now former governor Gary Herbert and Cox, both Republicans, equal "Tyranny" for their endorsement of COVID-19 restrictions in the state.
Other signs used by the protesters attacked by Mr. Cox read "Free Utah From The Mandates" and "Do Your Job Protect Our Rights"...
