Fake Utah Governor. Parody account. I am a fair-weather politician in tumultuous times. I have a smile, not a spine.

As Utah governor it would be beneath the dignity of my office to comment on yet another @phil_lyman failed attempt to prove he’s not a loser. Therefore, I will only say “no comment.” #utpol

I applaud @SenMikeLee's determination to help disabled workers. I hope this passes before a right-wing influencer fabricates a story that the benefits might go to people with brown skin and Mike withdraws his support. #utpol
When a worker is disabled by a terminal illness, they have to wait 5 MONTHS for SSDI benefits to kick in. For many, that’s simply too long to wait. My Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act with @RepHarshbarger cuts this red tape to get Americans the help they need,

Hey friends. Many of you are disappointed that I endorsed Pres. Trump. I now realize he won’t change or unite the country. But because I endorsed him, when I want to call the most arrogant, insensitive, emotionally undeveloped president in US history, he takes my call. #utpol

Hey friends. @VoteTrevorLee is sponsoring several bills this session that non-racists are calling ‘racist.’ My staff is aware of his legislation and will diligently monitor it throughout the legislative process before I sign it into law. #utpol

Like @JStuartAdams, I love the Utah Supreme Court. We just want to pack the court so there are more judges to love who are more likely to rule in our favor. #utpol
The ongoing legal fight over Utah's congressional maps that has dominated headlines in recent months is shaping up to be a major issue in the upcoming legislative session.

Yes, @SenMikeLee is seriously a senator, though truthful he’s rarely a senator who is serious. Or truthful. Hope that preemptively answers your question. #utpol

"Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation." Make time for this must-read feature by @FranklinFoer (gift link):

Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

Hey friends. Mike’s “It’s time for a constitutional reset” comment is just a reflection of his current frustration. There is no evidence beyond his voting history and comments to suggest he really wants to return to an era of the 3/5 clause or when women couldn't vote. #utpol
Federal budgets the size of Texas Produce crumbs the size of Delaware And attract rats the size of Manhattan The whole thing is too big It’s time for a constitutional reset

Hey friends. While we state leaders are monitoring the formation of “gangs of wine moms” here in Utah, we are more concerned about potential “gangs of Sodalicious moms.” We don’t want to mix ICE and Dirty Dr. Peppers together. #utpol
STOP THE MADNESS: "What we are seeing across the country as organized gangs of wine moms use Antifa tactics to harass and impede ICE agents is not civil disobedience. It isn't even protest. It's just crime," writes David Marcus.

Hey friends. I know this infographic seems bad, but remember... our air quality used to be worse, so today's inversion is actually good thing. #utpol #utwx
The worst air quality in the country is right here in the Salt Lake Valley. A strengthening inversion this week will continue to trap pollution near the ground, meaning our air is likely to get even worse. Not good at all. #utwx

No, I haven’t been very successful in teaching JD Vance how to Disagree Better. Please stop asking. #utpol
JD Vance: "She was trying to ram this guy with her car, he shot back, he defended himself, he's already been seriously wounded in law enforcement operations before. And everybody that is repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis,

As governor, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on local/county races, but as a former Lt. Governor, I'd like to say I'm glad @ARDavidson is being challenged by @astillck, whose top qualification is... <checks notes> believing in running elections smoothly. #utpol
NEW: The filing deadline is closed in Utah, and a new candidate just snuck in under the wire -- @astillck has swapped places with another Republican to challenge Utah County Clerk, @ARDavidson, who has faced ethics and transparency questions. #utpol READ👉 https://t.co/K9kxmZmiop

Hey friends. Like you, I've been watching the events in Minnesota carefully. I have reached out to ICE and they assure me they have no plans to terrorize Utah moms or students in the foreseeable future. #utpol

Hi, Gretchen. On behalf of all Republicans, what's a spade? #utpol
Before Trump - video didn't lie. Now we're at a point where DHS Sec'y Noem & Trump make a determination before an investigation even begins about the "shooting" in MPLS. So I'll make mine. This is the breaking point for sensible Republicans to call a spade a spade. #Minnesota
