Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is getting love from an election denier, and the internet can't help but roll its eyes at the merry display.
"If you needed proof that Tina Peters lacks remorse, read the post below," wrote Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, who's running for governor. "Commuting her sentence was a historic mistake."
The aforementioned posts were by Tina Peters, the election-denying former clerk whose criminal conviction was shortened by Polis last week. She denounced the Colorado Democratic Party's censure of Polis and thanked him "for being willing to stand up in the middle of this persecution and do what he believed was right."
"Heckuva job, Governor!" joked the political network Meidas Touch.
"I predict @jaredpolis is going to really really regret this if he doesn't already," posted progressive pundit Molly Jong-Fast.
Peters also suggested that the censure is more evidence of an effort to cover up rigged elections.
"It should be obvious to Democrats and Republicans alike that they have something to hide," she wrote. "It is so obvious that they are willing to continue destroying people's lives to cover it up."
This inspired more online ire.
"The Governor was wrong to commute her sentence," Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) wrote. "Tina Peters continues to spread lies & misinformation. She's shown absolutely no remorse."
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), another gubernatorial candidate, added, "lawlessness breeds lawlessness and Trump, Vance, and Tina Peters are still spreading election-rigging lies."
