DENVER — Just a week after Democrats censured Gov. Jared Polis for granting Tina Peters clemency, the governor appeared during a party Zoom meeting Wednesday with tape over his mouth.

The governor’s stunt during an internal party briefing was seemingly a reaction to last week’s 89.8% censure vote by the Democratic Party’s central committee, of which he is a member.

The images were submitted to Denver7 by anonymous sources. We have reached out to the governor’s office for a comment and are awaiting a response.

      Fucking ridiculous. Nothing about what he did was regarding speech. He released a felon from prison and made it way more likely that more people will try to overturn the next election by committing felonies… because he will immediately pardon them.

      It should, but that’s not going to happen. However, he’s term limited and will be leaving office on January 12th 2027… When he’ll probably turn around and accept whatever cushy position Trump promised him for his soul.

    Oh, FFS.

    You aren’t the victim here, Jared. You can just fuck right off with this and your choice to put your thumb on the scales here.

    I am pretty confident Democratic party voters would censure the man at a more than 90% rate for his handling of the Peters affair.

    It’s such a shame. Polis was doing good work in Colorado, until the siren song of tax cuts made his bank accounts change his mind.
