The Hill reports:
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) on Monday hit back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s calls for a “national divorce” of Republican and Democratic states, saying the lawmaker’s rhetoric is “evil.”
Greene on Monday suggested the U.S. “separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” re-upping her suggestion of a “divorce” to solve the nation’s division. Cox countered that the country needs “marriage counseling” instead.
Greene repeated her national divorce calls Monday as she criticized President Biden’s trip to Kyiv for a surprise meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of the one-year mark of Russia’s invasion.

This rhetoric is destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil. We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation’s founding and survival. pic.twitter.com/HyFgfyjpbf

As Reagan said: “These visitors…do not come as white or black…they are not Jews or Christians; conservatives or liberals; or Democrats or Republicans. They are Americans awed by what has gone before, proud of what for them is still … a shining city on a hill.” pic.twitter.com/rf0h98QeJs

Last week I saw American Exceptionalism at work as governors from all across the country met with the President to solve problems. We didn’t agree on everything, but we disagreed better. And we found ideas to bring us together. I still believe this is what Americans want. pic.twitter.com/6iXRIPy6wz

I don’t just mean civility and kindness (although we definitely need more of that too). I mean passionate disagreement that doesn’t destroy our souls and our country. Healthy conflict is good and foundational. But we must be Americans first and partisans second (or last). pic.twitter.com/NuVwWpjpwT

And so, on this Presidents’ Day may we remember the sacrifice of those who died to preserve us a nation and all commit to rediscover our better angels as ONE nation, under God with Liberty and Justice for ALL. pic.twitter.com/0deOU53xiR
