"Donald Trump appears to be struggling to let go of the fact that Colorado's governor will not bend to his will. The president hurled insults at "incompetent" out gay Gov. Jared Polis (D) on Monday over the fact that he refuses to pardon a woman who was convicted in the state of illegally accessing voting data to "prove" the 2020 election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden."
"Last week, Trump tried to pardon former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, and Polis reminded him that he cannot issue presidential pardons for state convictions. At a Monday press conference ostensibly about drug cartels and immigration, Trump somehow found a through line to discuss Peters' imprisonment. "The criminals from Venezuela took over sections of Colorado," Trump said, "And [Polis] was afraid to do anything, but he puts Tina in jail for nine years because she caught people cheating.""
President Donald Trump criticized Colorado Governor Jared Polis for refusing to pardon Tina Peters, who was convicted of illegally accessing county voting data. Trump attempted to issue a pardon but Polis noted presidential pardons do not cover state convictions. Peters acknowledged she never found proof that the election was rigged. Nearly 60 judges dismissed GOP election-fraud cases for lack of evidence. At a press conference about drug cartels and immigration, Trump pivoted to Peters, calling Polis "weak and pathetic" and "run by Tren de Aragua" and complaining that Polis would not "allow our wonderful Tina" out of a "high-intensity" jail. Peters was convicted on seven criminal counts, including four felonies, tied to allowing an unauthorized person to access county voting software data.
