Republican Utah governor condemns Greene's call for 'national divorce' as 'evil' rhetoric

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has suggested that the U.S. should undergo a "national divorce," but Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, who is also a Republican, has decried Green's suggestion as "evil."

"We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done," Greene tweeted.

Cox denounced the congresswoman's words and continued on with the metaphor by suggesting that the country needs "marriage counseling."

"This rhetoric is destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil. We don't need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders that don't profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation's founding and survival," Cox wrote.

Greene also advocated the notion of a "national divorce" in tweets on her @RepMTG Twitter account.

"People are absolutely fed up and disgusted with left wing insanity and disaster America Last policies. National divorce is not civil war, but Biden and the neocons are leading us into WW3, while forcing corporate ESG and gender confusion on our kids. Enough!" Greene tweeted.

In another post, she retweeted a tweet from the @POTUS Twitter account that featured photos of President Joe Biden with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Impeach Biden or give us a national divorce. We don't pay taxes to fund foreign country’s wars who aren't even NATO ally's. We aren't sending our sons & daughters to dies for foreign borders & foreign 'democracy.' America is BROKE. Criminals & Cartels reign. And you’re a fool," Greene declared.
