Trump Lashes Out at 'SLEAZEBAG' Colorado Governor, Demands He 'FREE' Tina Peters

Source: MEDIAite

Dec 4th, 2025, 6:11 am


President Donald Trump lashed out at “SLEAZEBAG” Colorado Governor Jared Polis late Wednesday as he demanded the release of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk jailed for election-related crimes. Peters was convicted last year on state charges after participating in a breach of Mesa County’s voting systems, an operation fuelled by efforts to validate Trump’s claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. She is serving a nine-year sentence in a Pueblo women’s prison.

In his latest intervention, Trump framed Peters as an “elderly woman” and “cancer survivor” persecuted by Democrats. He accused Polis of allowing Colorado to “go to hell”, writing:

The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail! She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election. She was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law. She has now served more than one year in jail, and has eight years to go. On top of everything else, she is a cancer “survivor.” This lightweight Governor, who has allowed his State to go to hell (Tren de Aragua, anyone?), should be ashamed of himself. FREE TINA!


Trump’s frustration comes as Colorado officials insist there is no path for presidential intervention or a pardon because Peters was convicted under state law. So only Polis can commute or pardon her, something his office has shown no interest in considering.

So, I'm guessing he feels in good stead in a decision to not consider Trump's extortion and threats.

that he'll get the corrupt six (SCOTUS) to issue an emergency ruling that election law is not in the purview of the states and is a matter of federal law (despite taking the position for many years that states were allowed to engage in all kind of chicanery to make voting harder). The corrupt six have no integrity and will say whatever the orange monster tells them to say.

at this point it's patriotic, possibly even merciful. Considering the guy does appear to be in his death throes.

There once was a governor, Polis,
Whose stance made the headlines quite boldest.
For Trump, in a post,
Made demands coast to coast,
Declaring that mercy he should show the oldest.

Tina Peters, a clerk from Mesa Town,
Was sentenced when verdicts came down.
Trump claimed with a roar
She was punished for more
Than deeds meant to keep “fraud” from the crown.

He blasted in capital letters,
That Dems were the cruelest of setters.
He said she was frail,
Too long kept in jail,
And called for the freeing of Peters.

But Colorado’s officials all say,
“No president’s sway holds here, nay.”
Since the crimes were the state’s,
Only Polis dictates
If her sentence might shorten someday.

So the feud, as reported, runs hot,
With demands, denials, and whatnot.
Yet the legal red lines
Hold firm by design—
And a pardon she simply has not.

if you get a chance, look up her sentencing on youtube. she's irredeemable. which of course is why krasnov is trying to get her out.

this is the full hearing and quite long, including victim statements. My favorite part would be the judge's comments prior to sentencing, but peters puts on a show that's worth the watch as well. You can skip to those parts which are close to the end.

Any prosecution is strictly political.

While he sends incompetent lawyers to get his perceived enemies.
