Colorado governor commutes Tina Peters' sentence, parole set June 1
Colorado Governor Jared Polis commuted the sentence of former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, cutting her prison term in half and making her eligible for parole beginning June 1. Peters was convicted after she allowed a far-right activist to access her county's election-management system to help efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The decision follows pressure from former President Donald Trump and raises questions about accountability for election tampering and public trust in election administration ahead of upcoming races.
There’s no defensible reason on earth to justify treasonous seditious election fraudster criminal Tina Peters being granted clemency by Colorado’s fake Democratic Governor Jared Polis. Another piece of shit trying to get in the orange felon’s good graces. Fuck you.
scarletbegonia16Jared Polis will join Fetterman in the history books under "Democrats who licked Trumps boots".
lynnieltd.bsky.social15He is ABSOLUTELY wrong, and as a Colorado election judge, I am beyond pissed.
Rod Harwood14“A clear message is being sent to those willing to break the law and attack democracy for the president — they will likely not face consequences for their actions,” Jena Griswold said at a news conference.
watershipdown-727Attention Democrats. Apparently, it's no longer a crime to tamper with or rig elections. The rules have changed. Act accordingly.
TheLeoTerrell'sStankyTaint7What I want to know is if this is a cowardly act of appeasement to prevent the #FatFascistFucktard from taking vengeance on the people of Colorado, or just a cowardly act of appeasement.
Flora6& he’s a Dem - he didn’t have to do it.
Diane in Ohio5His future in the Democratic Party is dead.
atrociousatgames.bsky.social4I remember when Polis was outraged - outraged, I tell you! -when Joe Biden pardoned Hunter; and that was only after Trump chose the "enemies list" guy for FBI director. What a joke of a person. I would love for him to issue a public apology to Joe, but I'm not holding my breath.
Xemnas4His ass needs to be voted out, and soon.
💙JoanieVotesBLUE🐸2I'd bet the orange POS has something bad on him Could be something as simple as cheating on his wife Or something as complicated as ... any number of things Look, that inhumane heap of garbage sitting in our highest office can find something on ANYone - or make it up and make it stick
BREAKING: Colorado Democratic governor Jared Polis has granted clemency to Tina Peters, who was convicted of election fraud. And this is why Centrist corporate Democrats are insufferable and should be voted out permanently. Who needs MAGA fascists when Corporate Dems do the dirty work for them. smh
Alanna M10The corporations intentionally fund centrists so they have someone in their pocket, especially if they are running against a progressive. This is why we can’t get anywhere with democrats like him and Fetterman.
Frances Larina9Jared Polis is the John Fetterman of Democratic governors.
KCXIV8been saying moderate dem's are just republican lites. They dont fix a problem they slow the bleeding. Progressive is the only way to actually fix things.
Ben5Centrist = bought and paid for
Flaco in TX3There is no upside to this. I don't see the rationale for Peters' "clemency". We're going to deal with more election interference from Republicans.
Joel, but the best 🇺🇦2There’s literally no upside to taking this action
Paul A.2Is it possible it was some form of extortion, or is Polis more than happy to do it?
NM Anderson2As a Colorado Democrat, I am DISGUISED by this!!!!😡😡
Bubba2Couldn't have said better myself. Also #stopvotingrepubliklan
Jared Polis (@colorado.gov) is the weakest, most spineless, most pathetic waste of a man in the Democratic Party, and that includes John Fetterman. Commuting Tina Peters is fucking pathetic. We deserve better.
HobokenIrish❌👑8Polis needs to be impeached if he doesn’t resign over the weekend
Bumpkin6Hope that was political suicide.
Hambone5Hey Democrats! Not everything should be compromised. Failure to hold Trump and his cronies accountable is why our country is in this horrible, horrible place.
Paul Dawkins 🍉4Not to mention that Jared Polis just set a hideously dangerous and nakedly fascist example that other governors will no doubt follow. Want to tamper with election equipment and try to rig the vote? Don't worry, a sentence commutation is on tap once the outrage passes.
Melinda 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🗽3She probably has a job waiting for her in the regime as secretary in charge of stealing elections.
This is not okay! Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced today that he’s commuting the sentence of Tina Peters a former county clerk and 2020 election denier who received nine years for tampering with election equipment
nesaM Doom19Bullshit. She can go back to trying to rig elections now. WTF?
Progressive AF!14This will give Trump more reason to say the 2020 election is rigged and then seize more ballots.
McSpocky™8Bending the knee to tRump. 😡
auntieme62.bsky.social5He will never be elected to another office again in Colorado.
Michele Manos3He's driven by something other than truth or justice. Pushback required!
bonkerswaffle.bsky.social2Yeah? Clearly every politician is on board with making sure traitors and terrorists get paid. They're giving restitution to the j6 idiots. Nothing is okay
Carma Lamm2Is Polis attending some kind of Fetterman CCD? Are they asking Who is John Galt?
Jocelyn Fox2He’s a fascist collaborator that just gave them talking points for their elections lies.
Colorado USA Barb2I am beyond furious about this. Remember he also congratulated RFK Jr. and said he was the right man for the job. I hope Polis’ career is over. 😡
Boris Zee2When is a crime not a crime? When you are doing it for sociopathic molester scumbag Trump.
