Crow Denounces Decision Granting Clemency to Tina Peters

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) released the following statement denouncing the decision to grant clemency to convicted felon Tina Peters:

“Tina Peters undermined a free and fair election. She authorized illegal access to election systems, promoted baseless conspiracy theories, and intentionally misled Coloradans. Tina Peters sided with Donald Trump’s Big Lie over our democracy.

“This President continues to tear down our democracy brick by brick. Colorado and our elected leaders should never cow to his threats and intimidation, and we should never give an inch in the fight to protect our values.

“Tina Peters is a convicted felon, found guilty by a jury of her peers. She has shown no remorse for her actions, and she should serve the full extent of her sentence. Anything less is an insult to Coloradans, a threat to election integrity, and rewards a wannabe king.”
