It would have been a perfectly acceptable thing to say (in my opinion) if he didn’t follow up by saying the suspected shooter certainly appears to be one of them.
The original statement makes sense that the person who’s job is to govern an area hoped it wasnt one of the people he represented.
Then when he made the second comment, it all fell apart because being one of them apparently meant they could still be a Utah resident. So he was only representing a subset of the Utah population, and therefore breaking his Oath of office.
Yeah, I haven’t listened to him so it’s hard to tell tone, but hopefully he meant that it turned out to be a person from Utah and not referring to a person who isn’t MAGA

This phrase appears to be written by the author of this article to refer to residents of Utah. It’s not part of the quote of what the governor said.
He definitely says “one of us”.

Yes. He doesn’t say “One of them.” There’s nothing wrong with “One of us” when “us” in this context is clearly “residents of Utah”.
