CO secretary of state unloads on Dem governor for freeing felon MAGA election denier
Appearing on MS NOW early Saturday morning, the frustrated secretary of state of Colorado bashed her fellow Democrat, Gov. Jared Polis for deciding to commute the sentence of former election official Tina Peters, one of the nation’s most notorious MAGA-aligned election deniers.
Speaking with the hosts of “The Weekend,“ Jena Griswold, who oversees elections in her state, claimed Polis has undermined the national election integrity by freeing Peters, a convicted felon sentenced to nine years for tampering with election equipment.
Cutting to the chase, Griswold explained, “Tina Peters was no political prisoner. She compromised her voting equipment, trying to prove Trump's big lie, her actions, and then her lies and conspiracies about her actions were used to further destabilize our elections and increase the threat level to election officials.”
“So the fact that she is going to be released early, in what I view is special treatment is just ridiculous,"she added before elaborating, “To tell you the truth, it sends a message to Trump's followers that if they break the law, well, they just may get off on federal charges, but also state charges. And I do think it will embolden the election denialism movement in this country at a time that is quite dangerous with our upcoming elections.”
