Former Missouri Governor/accused sexual predator/U.S. Senate hopeful Eric Greitens released a new campaign ad today in which he gleefully talks about murdering people, specifically members of his own party who don’t fall in line with his extreme right-wing views.

“We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden & the radical Left. Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!” Greitens, who is currently leading the race to become the GOP nominee to represent his state in the Senate, tweeted this morning, along with the violent video.

“Today, we’re going RINO hunting,” he says in the video before cocking his gun. “The RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.”
He is then joined by an Army swat team and storms into a single family home with smoke bombs and AR-15s rifles.
“Join the MAGA crew,” Greitens says. “Get a RINO permit. There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”
The ad is disturbing on a number of levels.

Not only because it features a U.S. Senate candidate encouraging acts of violence and murder on the heels of two high-profile mass shootings, but also because Greitens was once accused of blindfolding a woman, tying her to an exercise machine, stripping her naked, and taking her picture then using it as blackmail.
In addition to that, his ex-wife is currently suing him for custody of their children and says he is prone to violence and aggression, exhibited “unstable and coercive” behavior during their marriage, and would threaten to commit suicide if she didn’t show “specific public political support” for him.
Here’s what folx are saying about the ad on Twitter…
The Eric Greitens ad just released doesn't scratch the surface.
He once held a woman hostage, took pictures of her naked while she was tied up, without her consent, threatened to release the pics if she ever spoke of their affair, and then forced her to perform oral sex on him.

If he gets through the primary, Eric Greitens will be the most embarrassing major party candidate in a statewide race since David Duke.

Eric, this ad is unacceptably irresponsible to the point it would be disqualifying… Except, apparently, with the GOP base… It’s not cute, it’s not funny, it’s irresponsible and I question your judgement in making it.

Eric Greitens is implicitly calling for the execution of political opponents. He must not be allowed to become a U.S. Senator.

In the wake of the recent mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, Congress appears to be making some progress on legislation to address gun violence.
Last week, Democrats and Republicans agreed to a bipartisan framework on legislation to address mental health and school safety, and to make it more difficult for young people to obtain guns.
Missouri’s Republican primary is scheduled for August 2, 2022. Most polls have Greitens leading in a crowded field of nearly two dozen candidates.

American conservatism should be classified as a mental illness
PubicHairus
In all sincerity, it must be a mental illness. Just look at the “conservative commenters” on this site! Not a single one without some type of affliction, begging for our attention and pity.

At least one of his many insane, violent, creepy stories over the years should have sent him to prison. Why do cops and DA’s care so much about trivial things like people hanging air fresheners from their rearview mirror? We prosecute all the wrong people.

I guess it could safely be inferred that Missouri doesn’t have any red flag laws.

Making an ad like that for any political office should be disqualifying. Republicans continue to show how they are a party with no guiding philosophy when this is the kind of brainless ads they put out.

Actually, they seem to be coming out as fascist.
We need to stop handing them looney-left issues so we can stand on firm ground to attract the moderates we need. And Biden needs to do rid himself of quacks like Rachel Levine and whoever told him inflation would be a temporary problem.
America is looking like pre-war Germany.

Regardless of how much gas costs, it’s a small price to pay compared to putting a$$clowns like him in power.

Where is the American Family Association? Where are One Million Moms? Here’s someone in the media calling for violence. Crickets.

Well, that was disturbing to say the least.

This tops some of the scummiest ads, not only gun touting but threatening a group, that in these times with open gun laws people well get hurt
