Gov. Cox says destructive DOGE protesters should be imprisoned

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that those protesting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency by vandalizing Tesla vehicles will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The governor praised Americans’ freedom to publicly demonstrate during a monthly televised news conference on Thursday before making it clear that the widespread attacks against Musk’s company will not be tolerated in the Beehive State.

“People should protest to their heart’s content — and they should be imprisoned for any property damage or breaking of any laws,” Cox said.
