Utah Governor Spencer Cox urged to change last name as citizen thinks ‘it’s OBSCENE and indecent’
UTAH's Governor Spencer Cox has been urged to change his last name by a "very concerned citizen" who labelled it "obscene and indecent."
The Republican shared a letter sent to him by the resident which read: "I do not know if you know this, but when people say your surname it sounds like the word c**k. It’s obscene!"
"Us decent people here in Utah will not stand for it. The honorable Republican party will not stand for it. Most importantly, I will not stand for it," the letter dated August 5 went on.
The unidentified writer labeled Cox's name as "foul", "dirty" and "obscene."
As a result they added: "Thousands of other Utahns will be sitting in protest, not standing, until you change your heinous surname to something less offensive.
"This is a social justice issue and we will not be denied basic human decency!
"We will assemble and do what democracy was made to do by recalling you from office because of your filthy surname."

The letter added: “THIS IS THE GREAT STATE OF UTAH! We do not accept sick jokes to run rampant in our civil institutions.
"We demand a response to this letter and we expect to hear back from your office soon."
Cox tweeted about the incident, writing: "Really grateful for the criticism and constructive feedback I get from constituents that demand I… *checks notes* …change my name?"
