“For Utah Republican leaders to rush in with military troops to the Texan border is beyond embarrassing — it is disgraceful.”

For Utah Republican leaders to rush in with military troops to the Texan border is beyond embarrassing — it is disgraceful.

While I respect and, in some cases, consider Utah Republican leaders my friends, I am extremely embarrassed by their senseless performative stunts that have become more and more common with today’s political class. Their political two-steps with truth are designed to hoodwink voters into blindly believing something actually worthwhile is being done for them.

Instead of doing something serious and productive, like tenaciously pushing Utah’s congressional delegation to support the bipartisan immigration legislation that would help fix the border crisis, Utah Republican leaders rushed down to the southern border to lock arm-in-arm with Texan politicians who areordering Texas to stand down. So much for Utah Republicans honoring the rule of law. So much for their oath of office to preserve and protect the Constitution.
