“Has Tina Peters shown that she's taken responsibility for what she did?” 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who commuted her sentence. “I hope that she understands that what she did was wrong,” Polis responds. Since her release, she is back on the election denial circuit. cbsn.ws/3WudOsq

It was disappointing that @60Minutes, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.

“Show me the evidence that the paper ballot results differed from the computerized results,” 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks Tina Peters, the former Colorado election official who served time for her role in a voting machine breach. “My place is not to show, you know, pick out different things and what-- what could have happened,” Peters says. “I was authorized to protect the election records according to 52USC.70201.” cbsn.ws/3W6ZKFb

This is a beautiful interview and such an encapsulation of what heroism is. It’s not Rambo antics. It’s a man choosing to do the necessary and unfathomable, and being honest about the enormous cost.

Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot. Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives. He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter. "I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..." "I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."
