Jared Polis, the governor of Colorado, was censured by his state Democratic party after commuting the sentence of Tina Peters who was found guilty of crimes related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election

He showed up like this to a Zoom meeting 😬

How did such an unserious person became a governor of an American state ?

The crowd-facing aspect of American politics is a clown show, quite literally. Shenanigans net notoriety, and notoriety nets votes.
