By Wayne Allyn RootFirst, let’s all celebrate. Tina Peters is free. She walked out of prison in Colorado on Monday morning. Remember my credo- “The glass is always half full.” Let’s think positive- always appreciate and celebrate when something good happens. Tina is finally free. So, it’s a good day!But also, let’s not be naïve. Let’s all understand who took away her freedom in the first place. Jared Polis, the ultra-left, gay, Democrat Governor of Colorado is no hero- far from it. He’s just another lousy liberal loser, who is now desperately trying to cover up his role in this terrible case of Soviet-style injustice, and desperately trying to re-write history to cover his own ass. #TRUTH.Governor Polis is doing “victory lap” interviews- portraying himself as a humanitarian who came to the rescue of Tina Peters. He’s positioning himself for a supposed 2028 presidential run. He’s trying to come off as the compassionate “good guy” who rose above partisan differences, to free a 71-year- old Gold Star mom- who he positions as “a crackpot conspiracy theorist.”Let’s examine the truth. Governors are responsible for, and oversee state cases within that Governor’s state borders. That’s why Governors have the authority to pardon STATE CHARGES, which was exactly the type of (bogus) charge leveled against Tina Peters. When Judge Matthew Barrett denied motion after motion for Tina Peters to show her evidence during the trial, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS?When Tina Peters took the proof of the 29,000 deleted ballots directly to the County commissioners, who refused to even look at it, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS?When Tina Peters was beaten by young female gang members at the La Vista, Colorado prison, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS?When Tina Peters had eight requests denied to move to “the safe wing” of the prison reserved for non-gang, non-violent inmates who posed no threat, she was denied all 8 times, despite having no disciplinary issues, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS?When 71-year-old Tina Peters was accused of assaulting a 29-year-old inmate, when the evidence showed it was Tina Peters defending herself from a violent attacker, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS?When Tina Peters bail was denied, and she was sentenced to nine long years in prison as a Gold Star mom, 70-years old, without even a traffic ticket in her entire life, and convicted of a NON-VIOLENT CRIME- not to mention elected by the people of Mesa County, Colorado to represent them as they’re trusted County Clerk, and was convicted for doing her job, WHERE WAS “COMPASSIONATE AND FAIR” GOVERNOR JARED POLIS? Now we see the Colorado Governor taking victory laps like a “compassionate humanitarian” who cares about Tina Peters. Well, that’s what he wants us to believe, since he cut her sentence from 9 years to 4.5 years. But this was nothing more than political theater. Governor Polis could have pardoned Tina Peters with one stroke of the pen at any time during this made-for-TV-movie nightmare Democrat witch hunt. But the governor did not. The governor also had the legal option to commute Tina Peters sentence as “time served.” But once again, he did not do that either. Instead, he kept her charges intact and turned it over to the parole department, leaving the door open for Tina’s parole officer- at any time in the future- to accuse her of sneezing at the wrong time, and then putting her right back in jail- where they really want her, so she can’t expose the 2020 Colorado election fraud.The Colorado governor took the position with the least risk and courage necessary. He took the most half-hearted measures possible. He merely cut her sentence down, after sitting on his hands watching Tina get raked over the coals in court, and tortured in prison, for two years. Don’t be fooled, Governor Polis did not do any of this out of the goodness of his heart. President Trump had already pulled Space Force Command out of Colorado- costing 14,000 jobs and big revenues lost by the state of Colorado. Then Donald Trump pulled all the federal money possible away from Colorado, except the money required to be given to them by law. This combination of actions by President Trump was starting to squeeze the Colorado economy in noticeable ways, including the deterioration of roads and bridges, and social programs. Then it became public knowledge that one of Governor Polis’ long-time close friends had a very similar charge as Tina Peters, and the Governor’s friend received probation- never serving a day in prison.Then the Colorado governor was made aware that a defendant that was arrested with 26 pounds of fentanyl also received PROBATION- from DA Dan Rubenstein- the same prosecutor that demanded nine years for Tina Peters for the crime of exposing election fraud and corruption (ie doing her job). The final straw for Governor Polis may very well have come when I wrote a commentary at the high profile TheGatewayPundit.com (the 5th most read conservative news site in America)- urging President Trump to send the military, or Special Forces, or Marshals SWAT teams to the Colorado prison to remove Tina Peters. Within days of my TV commentary and my GatewayPundit commentary, the Governor suddenly granted Tina her freedom.CNN and Yahoo articles quoted my column advising President Trump to send in special forces to get Tina Peters, confirmed it was posted at Tina Peters’ web site, and that Governor Polis had read my column before making his decision.It was only at this point , and after Tina’s plight was finally capturing public attention, that the governor even lifted a finger for the injustice waged against Tina Peters. Governor Jared Polis is no hero. The actions he’s taken, which are perceived as “helping Tina Peters,” are nothing more than a smoke screen. The governor only took these actions because his reputation was starting to falter, the truth was coming out, Colorado’s economy was in decline, constituents were asking questions, and he was nervous what President Trump might do next. Governor Polis’ PR hacks portraying him as “coming to the compassionate rescue of Tina” has no relation to the truth. It is rumored Governor Polis wants to run for president in 2028. His actions had nothing to do with saving Tina Peters. He was saving himself, and saving his reputation, and saving the Colorado economy, and preserving his presidential ambitions.Instead of taking a victory lap Governor, I recommend a much shorter walk up to the mirror, where you should ask yourself face-to-face, “How could I have ever allowed a non-violent, 70-year-old Gold Star mom, with no prior record (not even parking tickets), to be sent to prison for nine years, alongside gangbangers and violent felons, for asking questions about voting irregularities, while fentanyl dealers get probation?”Just be careful Governor, the mirror may shatter.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Wayne Allyn Root is a CEO, businessman, best-selling author, and national conservative TV and radio host, who has interviewed President Trump 16 times.
