Tucker Carlson: Republican lawmakers in red states continually betray their voters

While you consider American states which have fallen proper off the ledge into the deep finish of vacuous life-style liberalism, and we do consider them every now and then, you in all probability consider Vermont. Vermont’s a spot that banned fracking, regardless of the very fact it has not a single oil or fuel properly within the state. Or possibly you consider Massachusetts, the place nearly all human pleasure has been banned for many years, if not centuries, and naturally, you consider California. California, a spot the place one metropolis is now paying folks to be transgender. All of those are famously liberal locations, so you are not stunned. 

However Utah shouldn’t be a liberal place. While you consider Utah, you think about large, comfortable households and an excellent larger salty lake and a few superb ski mountains. You assume conservatism as a result of Utah is conservative. It at all times has been. It nonetheless is. Utah has the very best price of church attendance within the nation. It has one of many lowest crime charges. The beginning price of Utah households is absolutely 25% larger than the nationwide common.  

Within the final presidential election, Donald Trump took almost 60% of the vote in Utah. So, Utah is certainly not California and but a few of its most outstanding politicians would very very like to alter that. Should you do not imagine it, watch them discuss a while. They sound like they’re working for metropolis council in Santa Monica. That does not make sense. Speak about a misalignment, a extremely conservative state with extraordinarily liberal leaders. How did that occur?

Truly, it isn’t as uncommon as you’d hope it will be. Throughout the nation, a number of the most liberal Republicans signify a number of the reddest states. Why? Properly, possibly it is the results of company affect and corrupt social gathering management. That is true. Possibly voters in these states do not feel threatened, so they don’t seem to be paying shut consideration to who they vote for. No matter it’s, it is very apparent. In contrast, probably the most energetically conservative governor within the nation shouldn’t be from Alabama, he is from Florida, which to today is cut up virtually evenly alongside social gathering strains. 

So, Ron DeSantis has to earn each vote and he does that by representing his constituents. It tells you numerous. In the meantime, vivid pink Utah is now led by a cut-rate Gavin Newsom imitator referred to as Spencer Cox. Spencer Cox is a former telecom government who at all times looks like he is auditioning for the title of “America’s guiltiest White man.” He is past perception. In a single digital city corridor with highschool college students final yr through which Spencer Cox introduced his most well-liked pronouns to a younger lady within the viewers.  

LA COUNTY VOTES TO SUSPEND OFFICIAL TRAVEL TO FLORIDA, TEXAS OVER PARENTAL RIGHTS, TRANSGENDER LAWS 

SPENCER COX: Properly, I thanks a lot, Gabby, for that, that query, and my most well-liked pronouns are “he, him and his” so thanks for sharing yours with me.  

What a creepy man! “My most well-liked pronouns are he, him, his,” Cox tells a room full of kids. So, we have that cleared up. Spencer Cox identifies as a male, at the very least to some restricted extent. Now, Cox may have cleared up that thriller much more rapidly, just by declaring, “I am a person.” As a substitute, he went full hostage video, “My most well-liked pronouns are he, him, his.” Simply in case you had any doubt that neoliberal curiosity teams management Spencer Cox’s mind. Now, you recognize, for sure, as a result of it is by no means about gender. It is at all times about obedience.  

Spencer Cox is obedient, if nothing else, however not obedient to his voters. That is the bizarre factor. What precisely is the marketplace for superfluous pronouns in Utah? Fairly restricted, you’ll assume. Most individuals in Utah do not should be informed but, in some way, Spencer Cox is their governor. In a chunk in the present day, a very good piece, Nate Hochman of Nationwide Assessment reviews that the very first doc Cox signed as governor of Utah was one thing referred to as the “Utah Compact on Racial Fairness, Range and Inclusion” and it is all the things you’d think about and extra.  

PSAKI SAYS JOE BIDEN AND HIS SON HUNTER ‘WERE NOT OFFICE MATES’ 

The doc describes racism as, “extra than simply a person character flaw.” No, racism as a substitute is a system that you simply participated in, Mr. and Mrs. racist, a system that may solely be stopped with “daring anti-racist actions and insurance policies proper now.” Whoa, whoa, whoa, you recognize you are in bother, Mr. and Mrs. Utah voter. What are these insurance policies? We’ll let Spencer Cox clarify. Spencer Cox, carrying his little obedience masks throughout a Zoom interview, defined that he helps excluding White college students from a tutorial scholarship program purely due to their pores and skin coloration as a result of that is anti-racism. No, it isn’t racism, it is anti-racism.  

CALLER QUESTION: The Utah Jazz is excluding White kids from consideration for his or her scholarship program. Do you assume that is racist and what is going to you do to stop the Utah Jazz from performing on this racist method?  

SPENCER COX: Properly, I do not assume it is racist. In reality, I believe it is in response to, sadly, some very tough and racist injustices which have occurred in our group for a very long time.

So, here is this moist, little man sitting alone in his gilded room with a masks on, telling us it isn’t racist to exclude folks from a scholarship primarily based on their race. Does anybody else in Utah imagine this? We might like to satisfy them. There cannot be lots of them. Most individuals in Utah have extra sense than that. Racism was whenever you harm folks primarily based on their pores and skin coloration, proper? Proper.  

Most individuals in Utah, by the way in which, nonetheless imagine in biology—additionally, gravity and photosynthesis. The state of Utah is pro-science and we all know this as a result of Utah State Legislature simply handed a invoice banning males from competing in ladies’s sports activities as a result of males, it seems, are usually not ladies, however Spencer Cox disagrees. He vetoed that invoice. Thankfully, two thirds of the legislature overrode Spencer Cox’s veto and at last bought the invoice handed.  

This has been happening for a very long time within the state of Utah. Spencer Cox beforehand threatened to veto a proposed ban on gender transition surgical procedures for minors, which as soon as once more most individuals in Utah say they do not need. 

So right here you’ve gotten a wonderfully regular state, full of completely comfortable regular folks, in some way run by a low IQ, weakened MSNBC anchor. That does not appear truthful to the state of Utah, nevertheless it’s not simply Spencer Cox.

Utah’s junior senator Mitt Romney has additionally determined he is uninterested in representing the folks of Utah. So as a substitute, he is talking for his neighbors within the state of California, the place he lives numerous the time. Lower than a yr in the past—that is an incredible instance. It was simply June of 2021—Mitt Romney voted towards the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the D.C. Circuit Courtroom of Appeals. OK. He thought she wasn’t certified. Now, this week, Mitt Romney introduced that he’s supporting the identical individual’s affirmation to the Supreme Courtroom. Huh? She was unqualified for a decrease court docket, however an ideal selection for the Supreme Courtroom? How does that work? 

This is Mitt Romney to clarify:  

MITT ROMNEY: Within the prior affirmation, I used to be involved that she was outdoors the mainstream and because of our assembly for an hour collectively and reviewing her testimony earlier than Congress, I grew to become satisfied that she’s throughout the mainstream. She’s additionally extremely certified, clever, a folks individual, and I want her the easiest.

Oh, so she’s now within the mainstream? She wasn’t lower than a yr in the past, however now she’s absolutely within the mainstream. So, here is what it took for Mitt Romney to lastly assist Ketanji Brown Jackson: He discovered, in the middle of Supreme Courtroom affirmation hearings, that she gave lenient sentences to baby pornographers. Mitt Romney apparently did not know that final yr, therefore the vote towards her. Now that he is aware of that Ketanji Brown Jackson has disregarded sentencing pointers to profit kiddy pornographers, it is a sure from Mitt Romney. That is the junior senator from the state of Utah and as with Spencer Cox, this isn’t a one-time aberration.  

Reporter Greg Worth summarized Mitt Romney’s previous few weeks this manner, “confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson, voted towards repealing TSA masks mandate, did not present as much as vote defunding Biden vaccine mandate, accuses Tulsi Gabbard of treason for opposing the battle in Ukraine.” Wonderful. So, Tulsi Gabbard has betrayed her nation—in uniform, by the way in which, she’s nonetheless serving within the U.S. Military—however BLM? BLM, which torched American cities for almost a yr? They are not treasonous, not based on Mitt Romney. 

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Mitt Romney, after all, did take to the streets there and the primary Republican to affix 1000’s of those that had been protesting George Floyd’s dying. The Utah senator marched with a gaggle of evangelical Christians and shared the picture of himself on Twitter, and Romney informed the reporter that he was collaborating in these protests as a result of he wished to guarantee that folks understood that Black lives matter.

MITT ROMNEY: We’d like a voice towards racism, we want many voices towards racism and towards brutality. We have to get up and say that “Black Lives Matter.”  

Oh yeah. “Mitt Romney took to the streets “– in all probability the best line ever uttered on cable information and like all the good strains, no one laughed. “Mitt Romney took to the streets”—to look at BLM burn down cities, shoot folks and defraud donors to purchase $6 million mansions in L.A. Oh, however guess who the traitor is? It is Tulsi Gabbard. That is what Mitt Romney is telling us. And Tulsi Gabbard is rather a lot worse than Tony Fauci, who funded the manufacturing of a virus in China that killed hundreds of thousands of individuals. Is that treasonous? No, it isn’t treason. It is not, based on Mitt Romney. 

MITT ROMNEY: I do need to level out how a lot I personally—and I imagine the good majority of the folks in our nation—respect you individually and professionally for the work that you simply do. You might be scientists, not politicians. Nonetheless, you might be being made topic to the political whims of assorted political people and that comes at a excessive value, which sadly I worry will lead some to not need to take part in serving to our authorities make scientific selections.

So, that is what Mitt Romney discovered. “Again from the streets.” So, the priority right here, after all, is democracy and that is a phrase on the lips of each involved individual on tv. What about our democracy? On daily basis you hear that. So, only a fast civics recap. Democracy is a type of authorities through which elected representatives signify individuals who elect them. They do what they ask. The folks rule.  

So, with that in thoughts, and given our robust dedication to democracy, you need to marvel the place Mitt Romney is coming from. Is he collaborating within the system referred to as democracy? As a result of the vast majority of Republicans, the individuals who put him in workplace, would really like Tony Fauci to go away his job instantly, however not Mitt Romney. He does not care in any respect. Mitt Romney shouldn’t be alone, after all, neither is Spencer Cox. It seems numerous Republicans in pink states serially betray their voters, give them the finger day, after day, after day. The query is: How lengthy will Republican voters put up with this?
