Hours after being convicted of tampering with voting machines in Colorado in the name of Donald Trump, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters griped that the outcome was a “sad day for our nation and the world” while continuing to spout false election-related conspiracy theories about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”
Peters was found guilty Monday on seven of ten charges after she granted unauthorized individuals access to county voting machines in order to transfer data to Trump allies. Peters faces up to 22 years in prison.
Later in the day, Peters responded to her newfound status as a felon by posting Bible quotes and spreading baseless claims about election fraud.
She’ll never want for anything if she isn’t imprisoned. She will be a conservative darling doing talk circuits.
I don’t get the impression that there’s a long shelf life for those folks. “Joe the Plumber” rose to conservative fame even without committing a felony. After the right fell in love with him for his 15 minutes, he had a “record deal”, co-wrote a book, and was also hired as a junior reporter for the right wing Pajamas Media (whatever that is) and 4 years later he’s working at a Jeep factory in Toledo source
Don’t forget that he wasn’t even a fuckin plumber
He was trained in plumbing and had some limited experience.
But not a licensed plumber, which requires being licensed so he was calling himself something he wasn’t allowed to do by law.
ehhh he plumbed
ya plumb one toilet and ya can’t be a plumber
but ya fuck ONE HORSE and now yer a…
He’s only working on feeding the worms at the moment.
Savage!
