Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) silently protested Colorado Democrats’ decision to censure him over his decision to commute the sentence of a prominent 2020 election denier by showing up to an internal party video call with his mouth taped.

An image of the term-limited Democratic governor with black tape on his mouth was shared on social media by Jesse Paul, a Denver-based political reporter and editor at the Colorado Sun.
