President Donald Trump is going to bat for the “elderly” former Colorado elections clerk who was convicted of tampering with voting machines in a failed attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
Tina Peters, 70, is nearly a decade younger than Trump, 79, but the president argued in a Wednesday Truth Social post that she should be released from jail because of her advanced age.
“The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail!” Trump wrote. “She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election.”
Peters was very much not convicted of stopping Democrats from stealing votes.
