Security cam footage obtained by 9News showing MAGA former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters attempting to choke another inmate during a very brief and – despite the sarcastic headline here – not particularly violent scrap in the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo on Sunday night.
Either way it gives lie to the portrayal of Peters by her patron, convicted felon President Trump, as a frail and innocent old lady who does not deserve to be in prison for nine years, even though her election conspiracy bullshit cost local taxpayers millions for Dominion equipment that needed to be replaced after the fucking idiot thought she was “proving” the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
Who leaked the footage and why is unclear but it’s not terribly hard to guess given that it was preceded by this press release posted on Peters’ official website which, sur-fucking-prise, describes an altercation that has very little in common with what little is visible in the video above:
“Last night, Tina Peters was assaulted approximately 9pm MT in La Vista Correctional Facility. Tina was inside a maintenance closet to fill up a water unit when an inmate approached her in the closet and began striking her in anger. Tina raised her hands and pushed the inmate away in defense of herself. Per Tina, the camera showed her pushing the inmate away from her out of the closet. She was subsequently handcuffed, shackled, and brought to solitary confinement. Tina was told she is being charged with Felony Assault for defending herself against an unprovoked attack.”
“She will be locked down completely for 24-72 hours and held in IDO (the hole) for an unknown period of time. As far as Tina is aware, the inmate who assaulted her has not been charged, slept in their cell last night, and will face no consequences. This incident is clearly a targeted attack against Peters. In all likelihood, it is being used as an opportunity to isolate and harass Tina Peters. Tina has been warning officials that something like this would happen eventually. She was advised to apply for the Incentive Pod. Tina has applied repeatedly and been denied despite nothing disqualifying her. Something is not right at LVCF. Tina has minor injuries but is not seriously injured as of this morning. Can you imagine 70 year old Tina Peters being charged ANOTHER felony charge for defending herself? Please support Tina! Support her Legal Defense at Tinapeters.us and continue to pray for her safety and swift release!” because why let a grift opportunity go to waste?
