There are more cases of measles than there are NCAA trans athletes. You’d never know it listening to lawmakers.

Aaron Davidson, Utah County’s clerk, is responsible for overseeing elections in the2nd largest county in Utah. He has shown repeatedly he is unfit for that work. He has abused the power of his office, disenfranchised voters, & recklessly spread conspiracy theories. #utpol

It really is amazing how this has been whitewashed and memory-holed as no big deal.

“If you don't want to be found guilty of falsifying business records as a felony, don't sleep with the porn star, don't lie about it, don't pay her off, don't cover up the payoff, don't cover up the payoff in the middle of a presidential campaign …. “If you don’t want to be held liable for rape, as Donald Trump has, don’t grab the woman’s genitalia. If you don’t want to be held liable for defaming the woman you raped, don’t keep lying about what you did and calling her a nut job. “If you don't want to be indicted for overthrowing the Constitution, don't start a self-coup. If you don't want to be indicted for stealing classified documents and obstructing justice, don't take the classified documents. When the government asks for them back, give them back. If the FBI serves you with a search warrant, don't hide the documents and don't lie about it and don't have your lawyers lie about it. “This isn't that hard. Donald Trump is not the victim here.”

Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law.

Conspiracy theorizing is evidence of a panicked & weak disposition. The more the GOP embraces this "the sky is falling" attitude that sees monsters in every shadow, the more we will chase away voters who would otherwise support the values & principles of conservative governance.

Replying to @JStuartAdams
@JStuartAdams Please follow the Utah House and @BradWilsonGOP in hearing and allowing a vote on HB 278 regarding DSU changing its name. This is about what is best for current and future students. Heritage can still be celebrated, but a brand should never be a liability!

I support local control & listening to residents. If residents want more/brighter billboards, they can talk to city councils. The state should not be dictating such issues. Special interest bills are driven by $$ in politics. Time for reform. #utpol sltrib.com/news/politics/202…
