President Donald Trump on Wednesday night demanded that Colorado must “FREE” former Mesa County Clerk and election denier Tina Peters, who is serving a nine-year prison sentence for tampering with her county’s election equipment, after state officials rejected the Trump administration’s bid to transfer custody of Peters to federal authorities.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “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!”
The president falsely claimed Peters, 70, was “convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election.”
