One whole day after being released from prison Tina Peters was on

Steve Bannon's podcast denying the 2020 election results and claiming that Democrats will cheat again in the mid-terms and in 2028.
Governor Polis made a mistake by pardoning her, she has zero remorse for her crimes.

Yeah, I know, Trump and Company threaten withholding federal dollars to states who's governors don't bend over, but damn... Take them to court, or take lessons from IL Governor JB Pritzker on how to stand up and win against bullies.

we all agree, jared should TELL us what krasnov is doing. And, if he is being personally blackmailed, the relevant scene from "The Distinguished Gentleman" comes to mind.

NEW: Tina Peters, newly freed by Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), begins her MAGA media tour by telling Steve Bannon that Democrats are cheating on elections and she was imprisoned as retribution for exposing voting machines that flip votes.

I’m usually not a doomsayer, but I fear that the end result of this election denying/rigging, if not stopped by late 2028, will be the catalyst for a second Civil War. I have no idea how to stop it, but if war ensues, we ALL lose.

7. Agreed. An amicable divorce would be much more preferable, like Czechoslovakia in '93, but I don't think that's likely.

Democrat leaning counties and states produce 60 to 70% of the U.S. economy yet it seems like they are constantly being dominated in the political arena, and that won't be sustainable or acceptable forever.

4. Peters should have gotten a clue Trump lost the 2020 election when he packed & fled Washington DC, January 20th, 2021

Trump put his losing tail right between his sorry-ass legs, and skedaddled out of DC. Would not have done that if he thought he had won. He lost, lost, lost, lost...

It seems weird they only cheated while Trump was president and his own FBI failed to discover any evidence of said cheating...

So weird.

She gave Mike Lindell's man unsupervised access to Mesa County EVMs. They said to prove the big lie when they got caught. There was more this one incident. Mike Lindell testified in court that he bought a computer program to hack elections. His men just got access to look at the data and not install the computer program, sure.

She'll likely warrant a civil suit in the near future, or commit another crime.

I am waiting to see if Polios backs Bennet in the Governors race, and in turn Bennet lets Polis serve out the rest of Bennets U.S. Senate Term........

She remains a convicted felon. The Governor commuted her sentence.
