Utah Governor Spencer Cox basked in praise for his 'unity' plea at Friday's FBI press conference — but the man whose alleged assassin he was discussing once wanted him expelled from the Republican Party.
Cox dominated the podium detailing Charlie Kirk's murder just three years after the TPUSA founder branded him a 'weak moderate' who 'should be expelled from the Republican party.'
The 2022 social media blast came after Cox vetoed a bill banning biological males from women's sports — a move that infuriated Kirk and conservative activists.
Now friends of the slain activist find it 'ironic' that the same governor Kirk wanted kicked out of the GOP pushed aside FBI officials to control the narrative around his death.
The feud ran deeper: Cox also threatened to veto a statewide ban on transgender surgeries for minors, prompting Kirk to accuse him of being 'paid off by Big Pharma who make billions off hormone blockers and chemical castration.'
Yet on Friday, in a stunning about-face, Cox opened the press conference by claiming he was 'inspired by Kirk's writings and beliefs' — urging the dead activist's followers to let their 'anger fade.'
The governor's sudden reverence for a man who'd savaged him as corrupt rang hollow to those who remembered their bitter public battles.

Anyone here listen to his ingenuous pontification and immediately felt moved to strike up a chorus of Kumbyah?
/Bueller? Bueller?
A war of words is a bit different than murder, Daily Mail.
He did a good job in the last couple of days. However, remain vigilant and keep an eye on him.
The governor there is a politician. Nothing more.
It came across more as a verbal Ipecac.
The young man was VISCIUOSLY murdered and the governor did all he could do to help catch the murderer and praised Charlie. So let’s gossip about a year’s old fued between these two men. Absolutely disgusting from UK Mail.

Who recalls Rush saying that the Left is faking its flag-waving patriotism after 9-11?
Thank you for posting.
Another wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Well played.
😆
Charlie was not afraid of going into the lion’s den.
I think Charlie’s desire was to persuade people with a positive message given from a loving stance.
Just so. Dwelling on before doesn’t help anything
Have you ever heard of political expediency? This governor had no choice. As a matter of fact why was there so much press on the captor of two other people before they got him. They had those videos in the first few hours. Kash Patel shows up last night and voila, they nail him in hours. Now they are saying he acted alone. With the 4chan revelations I highly doubt that.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge in three years.
For that matter, a lot of water has gone under the bridge in three days.
It’s a different world, now.
What did Cox say about television big media who've been peddling lies and hate for decades?
So what? Politicians feud and fight all the time.
When faced with the tragedy, the Governor was nothing less than compassionate and sincere.
I was impressed. But I live in IL so any governor with an IQ higher than the speed limit would impress me.

A worthless POS is what he is.
