    The investigation is ongoing, but I want to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this. We will find you. We will try you and we will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law. And I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah.

    We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate. And that’s the problem with political violence, is it metastasizes. Because we can always point the finger at the other side. And at some point, we have to find an off ramp, or it’s going to get much much worse.

    Incredible the difference a day can make.

        The second quote is from 13:20 in the video linked above me. https://youtu.be/WNWEwyPTh_M?t=800 if you’re lazy.

        The first quote is from the same guy a day or two earlier, I found it transcribed in a fox news article and won’t go looking for it again.

          Oh sorry. I didn’t want to watch a video so I didn’t realize the quote was from it. Thanks
