Greene on Trump pardons: 'Please free Tina Peters!!'

On Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia expressed her gratitude to President Trump for pardoning numerous individuals involved in the attempt to challenge the 2020 election results. However, she also appealed to the president to extend his pardon to one additional individual: former Colorado county clerk, Tina Peters.

“Thank you, @POTUS, for pardoning the 2020 alternate electors! They stood up for election integrity and faced severe repercussions from a politically motivated government,” Greene shared on the social media platform X.

She further implored, “But please free Tina Peters!! She is a gold star mom wrongly convicted and serving time in prison. She is a political hostage in America!”

Tina Peters, once the clerk of Mesa County, emerged as a notable figure in certain pro-Trump factions following the 2020 election. She holds the distinction of being the first local official convicted in relation to efforts aiming to overturn the election results.

Peters received a nine-year prison sentence following her conviction for election interference, associated with a breach of her county’s voting systems.

Prosecutors alleged that Peters stole a county employee’s security badge to help a man associated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell gain access to the county’s voter systems. Lindell had been publicly pushing unfounded claims of election fraud at the time.

According to prosecutors, Peters allegedly allowed a man posing as a county employee to take copies of the election system’s hard drive before and after a software upgrade in May 2021.

Greene’s plea comes after the president announced sweeping pardons for dozens of high-profile individuals connected to the effort to overturn the 2020 election, including Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn and others.

He also pardoned numerous individuals charged in several states in connection to the so-called “fake electors” scheme, in which individuals signed a document falsely claiming Trump won the state’s 2020 presidential race.

Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, and Trump’s allies were never charged in federal court, making the pardons largely symbolic.

Peters, too, only faced state charges, so a hypothetical pardon from the president would not reverse her prison sentence or guilty conviction.

Greene has emerged in recent months as an outspoken figure in the GOP, forging an independent streak after bucking her party on key issues, including health care subsidies and releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Even as Greene has publicly criticized members of her party, she has maintained her support for the president. She has also been a consistent supporter of Jan. 6 defendants and celebrated the president’s sweeping pardon earlier this year to more than 1,500 individuals charged in connection to the riot.
