As the designated Republican at the annual Washington DC gathering, Utah Governor Spencer Cox showed off his sense of humor
WASHINGTON D.C. — Utah Governor Spencer Cox was the featured Republican speaker at the annual Gridiron Dinner in Washington DC. this past weekend.The annual event is much like a roast, and Governor Cox was more than willing to play along.“I’m sure some of you have traveled to Utah. Places like Park City to ski or the Sundance Film Festival. That’s fancy Utah. Like if Jon Huntsman or Mitt Romney were a city. I want to be clear that I’m from a different part of Utah.
“It really is such an honor to be at the famed Gridiron dinner. You see, they usually don’t let farm kids like me into rooms like this … unless you count January 6. And even then we had to really push and shove our way in.” “Here in D.C., you say you smoked, but didn’t inhale. Where I’m from people say they went to the rally, but didn’t go inside.”
Susan Miller, the senior political writer for US News and World Report said Governor Cox 'brought the house down." Governor, you brought the house down - GREAT speech . Thanks so much for joining us last night. #Gridiron
