Since her release from prison, Tina Peters has reemerged on the political circuit — appearing over the weekend at the GOP Freedom Fest in Castle Rock and then visiting the White House on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Peters “just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado.”
Trump said she had been jailed “because she found Election Fraud” and that authorities targeted her instead of “the people that committed the Fraud.” He said Peters “served two” of a nine-year sentence, spending time in solitary confinement alongside “hardened criminals and murderers.” He asserted that he “got the Republican Party into gear” to secure her release.
Trump went on to say that Peters, now 70 and recovering from cancer, endured treatment that “should never happen to anyone again.” He argued that she “caught the Democrats cheating” and was imprisoned for voter fraud to keep her from speaking publicly.
