Opposing Utah Politicians Release Joint Campaign Ad Calling For Civil Debate Without 'Hating Each Other'

Opposing politicians in Utah have released a joint campaign ad, showing that even though they disagree they can still be civil.

Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox of the Republican party and Chris Peterson, a Democrat, created an ad that shows them standing side by side to discuss what they do agree on.


They hope to be “an example" to the rest of America ahead of the general election.

Speaking one after the other, Peterson began and said:

“We can debate issues without degrading each other's character."


Cox, wearing a red elephant pin, continued:

“We can disagree without hating each other."

Peterson then said:

“And win or lose, in Utah we work together."

“So let's show the country there is a better way," Cox concluded.

Polls show the incumbent Republican governor holds a large lead over his Democratic opponent.

Sharing the clip on Twitter, Cox said:

“I want to thank Chris for his willingness to record these PSAs with me."
“No matter who wins the presidential election, we must all commit to a peaceful transfer of power and working together. So please vote and then let's #standunited for a better America."

Peterson shared the clip, thanking his opponent for participating.

He said:

“With the deep divisions in our country, it can take grace and courage to try to work together. No matter who wins the presidential election, we must all commit to a peaceful transfer of power."

With less than two weeks to go until polling day, the presidential campaign has not always been as civil.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
