Utah Gov. Spencer Cox: Political Division Is a ‘Fatal Disease’ That’s Causing Americans to Lose Friends and Family Members

EXCERPT:

MARTIN: “How can people be good Americans, good citizens, dutiful, follow the news, but at the same time not get so immersed in this stuff that it becomes their identity and who they are?”
COX: “Yeah.”
MARTIN: “Where's that balance?”
COX: “Yeah, look, ultimately this book is about those relationships. It's about — too many Americans have lost a close friend or a member of their family to politics, where they don't talk anymore. They've disowned each other. And that is not healthy. It's bad for our souls. It's bad for our country.”
MARTIN: “It sounds like a fatal disease.”
COX: “It is a fatal disease.”
MARTIN: “Lost a friend to politics.”
COX: “Yeah.”
