Republican Utah governor says he plans to VETO legislation banning transgender students from competing in youth sports

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said that he plans to veto legislation passed on Friday that would ban transgender student-athletes from competing in girls sports within the state.

Without his support, Utah is unlikely to join the 11 other states, all Republican-led, that have recently enacted bans on transgender girls wanting to compete in school sports leagues that correspond with their gender identity.

In vowing to veto the bill, Cox directly addressed transgender student-athletes, who he said found themselves the subject of political debate through no fault of their own.

I just want them to know that it's gonna be okay. We're gonna work through this,' Cox said.

...

'Those those hurt tonight: It's going to be OK. We're going to help you get through this. Please reach out if you need help. @Safe_UT is free and provides immediate and confidential counseling'

“ Of Donald Trump, the front-runner, Cox said, “We care a lot about decorum. We care about our neighbors. We are a good, kind people. He does not represent neither goodness nor kindness.” He said he would not support Trump if he won the Republican nomination: “I think he’s disingenuous. I think he’s dangerous. I think he represents the worst of what our great country stands for... I won’t vote for Hillary, but I won’t vote for Trump, either.”

Sounds like an egg McMuffin voter.

“I thought Utah is pretty much Mormon controlled. Is the Mormon church really down with this?”

Remember, mutt is and harry reid was a member in good standing of the LDS church.

"Through no fault of their own?" Really?

Well he’s just been outed as another RINO who has been bought off and is now supporting the Leftist agenda. He needs to be removed along with every other RINO like him. The GOP needs to do some housekeeping, and get rid of these traitors. The sooner the better.

All “Republican” governors of Utah have been worthless RINOs lately, in spite of it being one of the conservative states in the union. Weird stuff.

Someone should tell Cox that sacrificing the safety and dignity of 50% of the population to appease a fraction of 1% isn’t a viable political strategy.

Speaking of which, that makes me wonder when is the last time Utah had an ACTUAL conservative as Governor. I wonder if Governor Bangerter was decent?

I heard a lot of those rumors as well, and I had good DC connections at the time.

It turns out Hastert was one of them.

The key is to look at the big lobbyists behind the individual—it is highly likely they have nasty blackmail files—and that is why they recruited them.
