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

Last edited Mon Jun 1, 2026, 04:04 PM - Edit history (1)

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 commuting her sentence, 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.

My first response was righteous anger, I have since taken a step back. Jared traded Peters for 50 million dollars. This state needed those dollars and no longer has to feed and house this idiot. Colorado won.

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.

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.

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

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.

Polis commuted Tina Peters’ sentence, he didn’t pardon her. That means she’s still a convicted felon and won’t be able to hold office in Colorado again because her felony was one for violating the public trust. Supposedly she’s too ill to run anyway although I don’t see evidence of that.

She served a quarter of her 9 year sentence and the reality is she would have been eligible for parole next year. I think the commutation sends a horrible message and I wonder how many other people in Colorado’s prisons were at least as deserving, if not more so but didn’t get any consideration. What Polis did was fundamentally unfair because there was no rationale for the decision that couldn’t be applied to a lot more people.
