WTF?! Trump Tells Colorado Officials to 'Rot in Hell,' 'Pardons' Ineligible Jailed Election Clerk!
President Trump just went off, telling Colorado Governor Polis and a DA to 'rot in hell' over jailed election denier Tina Peters, even claiming a pardon he can't actually grant. Seriously, what is happening?
More details:
WTF Just Happened
President Trump just unleashed a verbal firestorm on Truth Social, telling Colorado Governor Jared Polis and a "RINO" DA to "rot in hell." For real.
Why? Because they jailed Tina Peters, the ex-Mesa County Clerk, who he claims was just trying to stop voter fraud. This cannot be real.
And get this: he also announced he "pardoned" Peters! Except... she's serving time for state-level crimes. Can he even DO that?
Wait, HOW Did This Happen?
So, Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk, got herself a nine-year prison sentence. Nine years!
Her "crime"? Oh, just election interference back in 2020. She literally let a MyPillow CEO associate access confidential election software. This isn't some minor parking ticket!
She's facing charges like "attempting to influence a public servant" and "criminal impersonation." And President Trump? He's apparently decided she's a "Patriot" who just wanted "Honest Elections." He posted about his "full Pardon" for her. Seriously?
Are We Serious Right Now?
Okay, but actually, HOW does a President "pardon" someone for state-level convictions? Spoiler alert: He can't! Presidential pardons apply to federal crimes, folks. This isn't a surprise party!
Trump's post slammed "Democrats" for "violent crime" while protecting "anyone who wanted Safe and Secure Elections." Then, he just... declared a pardon? For someone jailed by Colorado?
- The President publicly telling state officials to "rot in hell." Is this normal?
- Claiming to pardon a state prisoner. Does he not know how pardons work?
- Calling Tina Peters a "Patriot" for election interference.
"for the 'crime' of trying to stop the massive voter fraud"
— that's his take! - The sheer audacity of it all.
💡 Why This Is a Big Deal (Unfortunately)
This isn't just spicy rhetoric; it's a sitting President publicly attacking state officials and undermining the justice system. What message does that send?!
It affects the credibility of the legal process. When the President declares a state prisoner "pardoned" despite having no authority, it just creates chaos and confusion.
And what about the officials? Governor Polis and that DA are now targets of presidential ire over a legitimate state conviction. Talk about putting a bullseye on people!
This whole mess fuels the ongoing narrative of "rigged elections" and further erodes trust in democratic institutions. What happens when state officials are constantly barraged like this?
So… What Happens Now?
Well, Tina Peters is still in prison, serving her nine years, because the President's "pardon" is, let's be blunt, completely null and void for state crimes. No magic wand here!
The Colorado Governor and DA are probably just shaking their heads, maybe even releasing a statement. What else can they do? The President's words are out there!
Expect more outrage from Trump's supporters, claiming Peters is a political prisoner and further demanding her release. The election fraud narrative just got another shot in the arm.
This could spiral into even more heated political clashes between federal and state powers, or just serve as another wild headline in a series of unbelievable events. What's next, a federal declaration of a state holiday for her? The mind boggles!
