Urah Gov. Spencer Cox told ABC’s “This Week” that he’s interested in learning what led Tyler Robinson, who he described as “a kid with a 4.0, with a 34 on the ACT, with a full-ride scholarship at my alma mater,” to drop out of school after one semester and plan a political assassination.

UTAH GOV. SPENCER COX: Well, look, President Trump is very angry. And Charlie is his close, personal friend. There is a lot of anger. A lot of anger on the right, on my side of the aisle. And I’ve certainly felt that. In this case, it does appear that that’s true. Again, more information is coming, and we’ll learn more over time. You know, I don’t know that matters as much as the radicalization piece. I brought up the Democrats who were assassinated recently. And how quickly we move on from these things. But the body count is piling up. And so, I’m so concerned about this radicalization piece, and that’s what we’re trying to understand. Again, this person made a choice. And it was this person’s choice. And this person will be held responsible. And we have to make different choices. And we also have to figure out how it came to be that a kid with a 4.0, with a 34 on the ACT, with a full-ride scholarship at my alma mater, who didn’t even last a semester, drops out and ends up doing something like this. We need to understand that, and we need to figure out how to stop it.
