Greitens Claims Murderous Ad Was Meant To Be Funny

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports:

Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens hit the conservative talk radio circuit Tuesday, arguing that a campaign video showing him storming a house with soldiers in search of “Republicans in name only” was intended to be a humorous metaphor.

“I don’t think there is a real person in Missouri who thinks about it literally. Not one,” Greitens said in an interview on KFTK (97.1 FM) radio. “What you’re seeing is a tremendous amount of faux outrage from leftists and RINOs.”

The Eagle Forum PAC, the political action committee launched by the late Phyllis Schlafly, denounced the video as “deeply disturbing.” “Advocating violence is a disqualifier for public office,” said chairwoman Anne Schlafly Cori. “Eric Greitens is not fit to serve the voters of Missouri.”

Eric Greitens was denied reentry to the Navy seals because they have moral standards.

To future seals, don’t abuse your wife and kids or tie up a mistress in the basement. <—- that happened. pic.twitter.com/KXcE0Xz5le

I’d like to hunt Eric Greitens, tie him up in a basement, take nude photos, and blackmail him.

Oh wait.

That’s what he did to his mistress.

People remember the sordid and horrific headlines of Greitens bounding a woman in a basement and sexually assaulting her.

What people forget is that he only resigned from being Missouri’s governor when he was forced to disclose his dark money donors.

To Eric Greitens, I guess “every normal person” also thinks it’s OK to hit your kids so hard you dislodge their teeth, or that it’s fine to detain and threaten your wife, or that it’s alright to restrain and sexually assault women in your basement.

Clearly, a normal predator. https://t.co/XTQZe0j9HX

“‘You’re not going to mention my name,’” Greitens told her. “‘If you do, I’m going to take these pictures, and I’m going to put them everywhere I can. They are going to be everywhere, and then everyone will know what a little whore you are.”https://t.co/5Es0RoQs8F
