科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯本周解雇了两名赦免委员会成员，原因是他们公开反对他赦免选举否认论者蒂娜·彼得斯的决定。
即将结束任期的民主党籍现任州长波利斯将于周三解除律师阿兹拉·塔斯利米和汉娜·西格尔·普罗夫在赦免委员会的职务。
两人上月在接受《纽约时报》采访时透露，委员会曾两次全票否决了提前释放彼得斯的请求。彼得斯曾是科罗拉多州梅萨县的县书记员，因参与强化唐纳德·特朗普总统关于2020年大选被操纵的虚假言论的阴谋而被判四项重罪。波利斯于5月赦免了彼得斯的刑期，提前数年将其释放，遵从了特朗普的要求。
波利斯的发言人埃里克·丸山周四表示，波利斯解雇这两名委员会成员是因为赦免审议本应保密。
塔斯利米和普罗夫未立即回应置评请求。《纽约时报》最先报道了此次解雇事件。
此次赦免决定激怒了两党选举官员，还导致科罗拉多州民主党人谴责波利斯。他们指责波利斯向特朗普屈服，加剧了人们对选举体系的不信任。
彼得斯在保守派媒体采访中庆祝自己获释。本周，她发布了一张自己手持铂金包、欣赏白宫内特朗普肖像的照片。特朗普也在社交媒体上发布了一张他与彼得斯在椭圆形办公室的合照，并配文称民主党“不想让她出来接受媒体采访”。
彼得斯的律师彼得·蒂廷的办公室周四发布了更多照片，显示周二彼得斯在椭圆形办公室与特朗普、副总统J·D·万斯、国务卿马可·卢比奥以及白宫办公厅主任苏西·瓦尔斯交谈。
蒂廷在采访中称赞了波利斯的解雇决定。
“他有勇气做必要之事，这很好，”蒂廷说道。

Colorado governor fires board members who criticized release of election denier

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed two members of his clemency board this week after they publicly opposed his decision to let free election denier Tina Peters.
Polis, a term-limited Democrat who is winding down his time in office, on Wednesday removed attorneys Azra Taslimi and Hannah Seigel Proff from his clemency board.
The pair revealed last month in interviews with the New York Times that the board had twice unanimously voted to reject a request to be let out early from Peters, a former Mesa County clerk convicted of four felonies as part of a scheme to bolster President Donald Trump’s false claims about a rigged 2020 election. Polis in May commuted Peters’s sentence and let her out of prison years early, adhering to a request from the president.
Polis fired the two members of the board because clemency deliberations are supposed to be confidential, Polis spokesman Eric Maruyama said Thursday.
Taslimi and Proff did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Times first reported on the dismissals.
The grant of clemency infuriated election officials from both parties and led Colorado Democrats to censure Polis. They accused Polis of giving into Trump and boosting mistrust in election systems.
Peters has celebrated her release in conservative media appearances. This week, she posted a photo of herself holding a Birkin bag and admiring a portrait of the president at the White House. Trump posted a photo of Peters at his side in the Oval Office along with a message saying Democrats “didn’t want her out there speaking to the Media.”
The office of Peter Ticktin, an attorney for Peters, released additional photos Thursday of Peters chatting in the Oval Office on Tuesday with Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
In an interview, Ticktin praised the firings by Polis.
“Good for him that he’s got the courage to do what’s necessary,” Ticktin said.
