“In the weeks since the Kirk assassination, Cox has been widely praised for rising to the occasion in the wake of a national tragedy that occurred in his state. In a pair of press conferences following the assassination, the Utah governor spoke with moral clarity about both the human tragedy of the murder of a young father and how it struck at the foundational rights of all Americans. Cox pointed to Kirk’s willingness to engage in debate and Kirk’s own words imploring Americans to forgive and eschew violence as an example to live by. Part of what made Cox’s remarks so remarkable was what he didn’t say. He dispensed with the platitude that it’s a given that America’s brightest days are ahead. He didn’t pretend to be the leader — or that there is any leader — who was going to save us.” (10/08/25)
