Utah Gov. Spencer Cox chastized Republicans in Congress for ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The Utah governor also said he’s not worried about ethical issues arising out of the relationship between Attorney General Sean Reyes and Tim Ballard.
McCarthy, a California Republican, was removed as speaker two weeks ago at the hands of fellow Republicans who were angry he worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown. Cox said Republicans have no one to blame for the current situation but themselves, adding their inability to rally behind someone to succeed McCarthy would likely require them to work with Democrats to find a way past the logjam.
Reyes has championed Ballard and OUR for several years. Their relationship was so close that Reyes often referred to Ballard as his partner. Until recently, Reyes has touted himself as an associate producer on “Sound of Freedom,” the fictionalized film based on Ballard’s story. “There’s a process they would go through. The attorney general has hired some incredible attorneys in his office, and I trust them to make that decision,” Cox said.
