The Kansas City Star reports:
Former Gov. Eric Greitens put out a video Monday that showed him and a group of men in tactical gear with guns hunting Republicans who they do not deem adequately conservative, ramping up the war-like messaging of his campaign for U.S. Senate.
In the video Greitens, a Republican, carries a gun and identifies himself as a Navy SEAL. He says he’s hunting RINOs, “Today, we’re going RINO hunting,” Greitens says in the video. “The RINO feeds on corruption and are marked by the stripes of cowardice.”

“Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”
The frontrunner in the #mosen race has released a people-hunting ad. https://t.co/Xepu7ZwjwJ

Conservatives: How dare you suggest we’re encouraging violence against political opponents?
Also conservatives: Let’s hunt down our political opponents with military style weapons! https://t.co/2sRTCQVTz8

Oh, just a leading Senate candidate playing out a violent revenge fantasy against those he deems insufficiently loyal to the former president. https://t.co/hxwI4o5Xjz

After former Missouri governor Eric Greitens was charged with violent sexual misconduct, his ex-wife says he bought and hid a gun. He also threatened to shoot himself unless she supported him publicly. Now he’s threatening to kill his political opponents. pic.twitter.com/5Ty98ghxb3
