Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced that he would veto a bill making its way through the legislature that would bar males from competing against females in womens' sports.
Cox is your consummate establishmentarian politician so it was no surprise when he responded by claiming it was the "Right" thing to make sure girls could get dominated by boys in sports.
In a statement regarding his veto of H.B. 11, titled Student Eligibility in Interscholastic Activities, Cox said that while "Politically, it would be much easier and better for me to simply sign the bill," he vetoed it because he "Tried to do what I feel is the right thing regardless of the consequences."
I guess Mike Winder believes that if he throws in a buzz phrase like "Fiscal conservative," Republicans will just nod along? I can't think of anything more cowardly in the political realm than for an elected official to say they aren't going to protect girls because the state might lose a lawsuit or not get to host a college swim meet.
The Utah Legislature voted Friday to override Republican Gov. Spencer Cox's veto of a measure that would prevent transgender girls from participating in female sports in schools across the state.
In a 56-18 vote with a supermajority needed, the Republican-controlled House first voted to override Cox's veto.
The Senate gave final approval to override the veto by a vote of 21-8.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
