Another Trump supporter, caught up in election lies, is sent to prison

Tina Peters, former County Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, was so convinced of Donald Trump's lies about his 2020 election loss that she tried to prove that voting machines had been used to rig the election, and in so doing committed crimes that have earned her a nine-year prison sentence. Donald Trump remains free. former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance discusses with Alex Wagner.

Tina Peters totally deserved this sentence. What I find disgusting was that Sydney Powell got away with writing a pathetic single sentence letter of apology, especially as she still carries on peddling her lies to this day.

When asked about Tina Peters, Trump said "I don't know her. She's not my type."

[businessentreprenuer]

How are all these ppl going to jail and the head of the snake, Donald trump free? How is that possible..

[moddie]

And the fool is smiling on her mug shot.
These cult members are brainless

[vercoda]

She was unrepentant, and tried some nonsensical "I'm a child of Jesus" excuse. I don't care if she's Odin's accountant - Prison, Prison, Prison.

Love the judge! He used the precise words to describe her: “Charlatan” who abuse her position. Same thing with the former and his minions

[xelasomar]

Threw her late life away for a con man who will now not even look her way.

[lairddougal]

And yet the man responsible for it all is still walking around. Go figure.

[niclewis]

This Judge should be on the Supreme Court. He wasn't playing and wasn't buying her undemocratic and criminal acts. Now for the rest of them.

[edvaira]

Colossally Stupid Woman! No pity whatsoever for her

[G-childInc]

This judge is a star . His words are so clear !!!!

[charlesmartin]

Moral of the story: don't ever get mixed-up with Trump.

[oldcatlover]

She deserves to be fined everything she owns too. How dare she!😮
And barred fr😮om taking gifts and donations to live on. What she did was inexcusable and unforgiveable! I live in Arizona but have family in Colorado.

[tyleachwatkins]

Everyone is going to jail EXCEPT orange 45 and his kids.

[mikeb]

I trust all election officials have taken note.

[Thugsy]

There is one person responsible for January 6th, and he has yet to be held responsible

[jalabi]

More attention needs to be paid to the Georgia election board officials who are right now putting in place moves to gum up the works come Election Day. Five alarm fire for democracy. And I'm not sure that there's a judge like this one in Colorado, in Georgia.

[PaulBell-iv]

Trump doesn't care about her at all.
Hope she thinks about that for the next 9 years, have fun😂

MAGA (Morons Against Great America) 💙 Vote blue across the board HARRIS/WALZ 2024 💙 “We aren’t going back”

[philthai]

This is the Judge we need on the US Supreme Court. MAGA GOP scum Tina Peters in Colorado is sentenced to at least 9 years in prison.
