Utah Gov. Spencer Cox apologized to Congress members on Friday for using a “derogatory” term to characterize members of Congress over the state of immigration reform in the U.S.
The governor called lawmakers “imbeciles,” adding, “they should all get fired” during a news conference in response to Florida’s latest anti-immigration policies.
