Former NFL player and congressman-elect Burgess Owens, who clinched a win in Utah’s 4th Congressional district, expressed his backing for a newly-formed conservative group of Reps.-elect dubbed the “Freedom Force,” formed as a counterweight to the far-left Democrat pack known as the “Squad.”

Owens told Fox News on Friday that he believes the conservative grouping will be “giving a contrast to the hard left” while fighting for traditional, American values.
