Reports in both the Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune referred to the crowd as âraucous.â It was much more than raucous. It was derogatory, disrespectful, hateful and prideful.
SALT LAKE CITY Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told the 1,904 delegates in attendance at the Utah Republican Party s Organizing Convention on Saturday that they need to spend more time volunteering and coming together.
Cox, and Sen. Mitt Romney received boos and obvious disapproval at moments from some in attendance, and Romney survived a censure vote by delegates. But throughout the day the call from them and other Republican leaders was the need to unify the party in both message and behavior to withstand challenges from the left.
They then followed 8 hours of speeches and delegate work with the selection of Carson Jorgensen, 31, a sheep farmer, as the party s new chairman, beating three other candidates, including veteran Stewart Peay, who some had pegged as the favorite going into the convention.
