WATCH: Spencer Cox Jeered at Turning Point Event Near Where Charlie Kirk Was Killed

A chorus of boos greeted Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) when he started speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Utah on Tuesday, just weeks after founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a university in Cox’s state.

The boos from some attendees at the event — which was held at Utah State University, about 120 miles away from Utah Valley University where Kirk was murdered — brought the panel Cox was on to a momentary halt.

Turning Point COO Tyler Bowyer, who was moderating the panel Cox was on, jumped in to settle the restless crowd.

“Guys, I’m going to do the Charlie Kirk thing and say, ‘Guys, let’s facilitate a conversation here.’ I promise that we’ll get to the end of it and then we’ll ask questions. Is that cool?” Bowyer said.

A large cheer from the crowd immediately followed.

“Cool, I love it,” Bowyer said, before resuming the panel.

Those who booed Cox may have been upset with some of his comments following Kirk’s murder on Sept. 10, like when he said the conservative activist said some “very inflammatory things.” 

More recently, Cox told 60 Minutes this past weekend that he was still haunted by the viral footage of Kirk being shot.

“I can’t unsee it — I can’t stop seeing it. Every time I close my eyes, that’s what I see,” Cox said.

Here is what Cox said on Tuesday about the moment he found out Kirk was shot:

My first thought was just, ‘please don’t die, please, we’ve got to keep him alive,’ and then I knew about Charlie’s wife, I knew he had two little kids, and that’s the humanity of all of this, right? And I think it changed all of us, because what I realized very quickly was that this was an attack on Charlie Kirk because of his political beliefs. We knew that. It was a political assassination, and people were afraid to say that, we should not be afraid to call things what they are.
