“We have heard of “mansplaining” now we have “whitesplaining” from a white man comparing a black man, who grew up under Jim Crow laws, to the KKK. Awful tone deaf @sltrib @Patbagley. Expect an apology but I won’t hold my breathe.” (US Congressman Burgess Owens, April 15, 2021)
Paul is the younger brother of Jon Huntsman, former Ambassador to China (and Russia). They are heirs to a nasty chemical empire. Their father served in the Nixon Administration, and so they know Kissinger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman_Sr. Ambassador Jon Huntsman statement on China: https://editorials.voa.gov/a/huntsman-on-us-china-relations-85241312/1481704.html
When Paul’s older brother, Jon Huntsman, “was visiting the White House in 1971 during his father’s service as special assistant to the president, Henry Kissinger confided to the 11-year-old that he was secretly traveling to China.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman_Jr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_Corporation
Brother Peter Huntsman is CEO of Huntsman Corporation, which has bunches of subsidiaries in China (see list further below) and which is a partner to Chinese government owned Sinopec. It also has subsidiaries in Mexico (and elsewhere).
The Salt Lake Tribune may be violating its non-profit status: “Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501(c)(3)_organization#Political_campaign_activities
Utah is only 1% African American; 71% Non-Hispanic White; Over 17% Hispanic. The Hispanic population is growing quickly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Utah. Hopefully the Hispanics are non-Mormon.
“On April 20, 2016, Huntsman Family Investments, a private equity firm headed by Paul Huntsman, son of industrialist Jon Huntsman Sr., announced that it would be buying the Tribune. He soon announced plans to take the paper non-profit. In November 2019 the newspaper won approval from the Internal Revenue Service to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_Lake_Tribune Huntsman Family Investments also owns American Pacific Corporation Speciality Chemicals, which produces rocket-grade ammonium perchlorate used in solid propellant rockets, booster motors and missiles. It is a US Department of Defense and NASA contractor.

“Utah Delegation’s Statement on The Salt Lake Tribune’s Abhorrent Cartoon Washington, April 15, 2021
U.S. Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Mitt Romney (R-UT), and Representatives Chris Stewart (R-UT), John Curtis (R-UT), and Blake Moore (R-UT) issued this joint statement on The Salt Lake Tribune’s insulting “cartoon” regarding Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT).
“The Salt Lake Tribune recently published a repugnant ‘cartoon’ comparing Congressman Burgess Owens, our esteemed colleague and only black member of the Utah delegation, to a member of the Ku Klux Klan. This racially charged, perverse political statement is beyond the pale. We ask that The Salt Lake Tribune immediately take down this horrific image, issue a formal apology, and hold themselves to a higher standard.” https://stewart.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=750
