Trump threatened harsh measures against Colorado, if it doesn't free convicted felon Tina Peters. What does USMB think? Should a President threaten a state unless it releases comsome convicted of a felony abusing her position to benefit that President?
Trump threatens ‘harsh measures’ if convicted GOP election denier Tina Peters not freed
President Trump on Thursday re-upped his call for Colorado to free Tina Peters, a state election official who was convicted of multiple felonies after breaching voting equipment in the 2020 election, warning he would take “harsh measures” if she is not released.
“FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW.”
He continued, “She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!”
Trump did not specify what those measures would be but has in the past threatened to withhold funding from other states and jurisdictions if they do not align with his policies.
Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, was found guilty by a jury in 2024 on seven counts, including four felonies, for helping to facilitate access to the county’s voting equipment in search of voter fraud that she and her allies were unable to prove following the 2020 election.
