There is no other reasonable course of action to take following Monday’s disgraceful joint news conference with President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As Utahns, many of us were a bit stunned last year when you accepted the job as U.S. Ambassador to Russia, but your explanation made sense: It was a role you took on, much like your tenure in China, out of a deep sense of duty.
But that duty is to your country and the best way now to serve your country is not by holding on to some title and being the emissary of a president who doesn’t share your values, or American values, for that matter.
