Spencer Cox: “There was no rioting. There was no looting. There were no…”

“We lead the nation in service every year. But it did happen here, and it was one of us. But I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting. There was no looting. There were no cars set on fire. There was no violence [in Utah following the incident]. There were. There were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share the humanity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe, is the answer to this.” (06:48–06:57)
