Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson called out Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox Wednesday for succumbing to liberal policies and ideology.

Carlson said Utah, a conservative state, is led by a “cut-rate Gavin Newsom imitator” and consists of prominent politicians who sound like “they’re running for city council in Santa Monica.” The host then played footage of the governor announcing his preferred pronouns to high school students at an April 2021 virtual town hall.

“What a creepy guy,” Carlson said. “‘My preferred pronouns are he/him/his,’ Cox tells a room full of children. … Just in case you had any doubt that neoliberal interest groups control Spencer Cox’s brain. Now you know for certain. Because it’s never about gender, it’s always about obedience. Spencer Cox is obedient if nothing else, but not obedient to his voters, that’s the weird thing.”
