Utah Gov. Spencer Cox urged Americans to condemn political violence as inflammatory rhetoric escalated in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination .

The 50-year-old Republican was angry, nauseous and in disbelief when he called the White House to report Kirk had died after the Sept. 10 shooting at Utah Valley University. Addressing the public, he decried political violence against both Democrats and Republicans and focused on the opportunity for Americans to disagree in non-violent ways.

"I'm not asking anybody to hold hands and hug it out," Cox told 60 Minutes. "I'm not asking for that. I'm trying to get people to stop shooting each other. That's it."
