After his landslide election victory, instead of a gracious message of gratitude, inclusion and unity going forward, Utah weather vane Spencer Cox chose to lecture Democrats to “look in the mirror” on why they lost: “people are tired of being told that they are racist or misogynistic or homophobic.” Rich, huh?
This from the guy who flipped off the fence into the pig pen of Donald Trump, our newly crowned racist/misogynist/homophobe-in-chief. Could Cox be feeling defensive? Or does he just wish to “disagree better”?
Nevertheless exultant, Cox added that he feels “like the race car with a parachute behind us” which will be “removed in January,” referring to his fever dream lawsuits vs. the feds. It’s not difficult to imagine his Don Quixote Express careening unhindered down the road tilting at federal windmills until it runs out of tax dollar gas with a wheel in the ditch.
My advice, Gov. Cox: take a sliver of the millions you want to spend on your pie-in-the-sky frivolity and buy yourself a full length gold-framed mirror.
In it, your reflection will reveal a swill-stained governor schmoozing his Dear Leader at an embarrassing Arlington Cemetery photo op. After all, Guv, you paid dearly for your victory with your integrity. Now it’s time to own it.
