NEW: Last week, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) commuted the sentence of election denier Tina Peters. Now, the Trump ally is expressing gratitude for Polis’ decision — and suggested the backlash against him is further evidence Democrats are trying to cover up a rigged 2020 election.

Jared Polis said Tina Peters took responsibility for her crimes. Now she’s posting that Democrats ‘will try to destroy you’
Peters’ social media post suggests she is still hung up on the same conspiracy theories that inspired her actions that led to her conviction.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
