President Trump called Utah Governor Cox immediately after the presser took place in Utah where the capture of the Charlie Kirk assassin was announced.
On Friday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox made himself the most important person in the room as he announced that “We Got Him”.

Governor Cox decided he would answer questions on the assassin’s surrender rather that the Head of the FBI Kash Patel, and then he messed that up saying later that day that the killer worked alone. Cox should have stayed out of it as he now looks like a fool in many ways.
This is not unexpected. We knew Cox had a terrible record, even Charlie Kirk himself called for Cox’s resigning. Then as we reported changed GOP rules and inserted himself back into the governor’s mansion in 2024 anyways.
Bannon called out Governor Cox as well.
Saw it this morning
We didn’t need a #disagreebetter lecture from Gov Cox
We need more information about what happened, how this kid got radicalized, who else was involved, etc.

The Atlantic reported that immediately after the presser where Governor Cox exclaimed “We Got Him!”, Governor Cox received a call from the President of the United States. (The fact that Governor Cox or a member of his team went to the radical far-left Atlantic says a lot about the outlets that Governor Cox aligns with.)
Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) received a phone call from none other than President Donald Trump moments after the governor spoke to reporters about the arrest of a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The President apparently shared per far-left Atlantic that these people are killers.
“You know, the type of person who would do something like that to Charlie Kirk would love to do it to us,” Cox says Trump told him. Trump went on to recite statistics suggesting that the presidency was “one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet.” Fifteen percent of the men who’d held his office had been shot; 8 percent had been killed.
Governor Cox tried to push peace after the radical, violent, and murderous left just assassinated American great Charlie Kirk.
