Polis Lets Down Colorado Again [1]

I can’t figure out what the deal with Jared Polis is at this point. Maybe a Colorado resident can explain if he fell on his head or something? Not only does he give Tina Peters clemency, there’s this report from The New York Times today: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/us/jared-polis-tina-peters-clemency-board-fired.html

Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado on Wednesday fired two members of his clemency board after they spoke out against his decision to commute the prison sentence of the election denier Tina Peters. The board members, Hannah Seigel Proff and Azra Taslimi, had objected to Mr. Polis’s decision in May to release Ms. Peters from prison after pressure from President Trump.

Ms Peters is free to spew more election denialism and these two members who rightly voted against clemency were kicked to the curb. I personally hope we don’t hear from Mr. Polis ever again after January. Simply a betrayal of judicial procedures for no good benefit to the people he supposedly serves.
