'Is the only answer Jesus?' MAGA host freaks out as Trump can't pardon election denier

Pro-MAGA host Gina Loudon suggested Jesus might be the answer after President Donald Trump was unable to pardon election denier Tina Peters, the former clerk of Mesa County, Colorado.

Loudon became frustrated after a federal judge refused to release Peters from state prison this week. President Donald Trump presumably can't pardon her because the state charged her with crimes related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

"She was sentenced to nine years!" Loudon exclaimed during a Real America's Voice segment on Wednesday. "Nine years for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines!"

"What can we do?" the host asked conservative journalist Apollo Pappas.

For his part, Pappas called the federal judge "exceptionally cowardly" for refusing to release Peters from prison.

"Now we have really the pardon, which that letter has been sent to President Trump publicly, and of course, her being pulled out as a federal witness," he continued. "Personally, I believe the way it is going to be to bring her out as a federal witness."

Pappas said granting Peters a pardon would be a "trap" for Trump because he lacks the authority to vacate state charges.

"I'm not as hopeful as some that it's going to be a clear-cut, the pardon powers extend to state cases," he explained.

"So I mean, it's really, is really, is the only answer here, like, Jesus?" Loudon gasped. "I mean, literally, is the only answer here that somebody sprouts a heart and a spine and does the right thing and lets this woman who is no threat to anyone, this Gold Star mom, who lost her husband, who suffered from cancer, who is in failing health?"

"Is there no answer here, but somebody actually got a heart, and we just pray for these people?" she asked.

"I think we need to be hitting up the DOJ and really putting forward all of the information about the federal involvement in Tina Peters' case and in Mesa County," Pappas recommended. "Tina Peer's prosecution itself should be investigated as a criminal operation in order to suppress the information about what she had preserved on those records. And she should be made a federal witness."
