Utah Democratic leaders denounce hate rally, reaffirm commitment to inclusion

Utah Senate Democratic Leader Luz Escamilla and House Democratic Leader Angela Romero issued the following statement after reports of a hate group holding a rally in Herriman, Utah: 

“We are outraged by the recent anti-American, hate-fueled rally organized by the Patriot Front in Herriman this weekend. This demonstration specifically targeted vulnerable communities, including our immigrant community. 

There is no space in Utah for this type of hatred. We will continue to fight harmful rhetoric and not allow for hate to define our state.”
