Missouri Senate GOP hopeful Eric Greitens hunts political opponents with guns in ad
CBSN
Missouri GOP Senate hopeful Eric Greitens posted an ad Monday depicting him and people dressed in military-style uniforms hunting down political opponents with guns.
Greitens was forced to resign as Missouri's governor in 2018, a move that came after allegations that he engaged in an extramarital affair in which the woman alleged he physically abused and threatened her. Greitens' resignation was part of a deal with a St. Louis prosecutor to drop a felony charge alleging misuse of a charity donor list to raise funds for his 2016 gubernatorial campaign. Greitens also stands accused by his ex-wife of abusing her and their young son. Greitens has denied any wrongdoing.
Greitens, a former Navy SEAL, opens the ad by saying he's "going RINO hunting." "RINO" is short for "Republican in name only," a phrase hard-right Republicans sometimes use for those they deem insufficiently conservative.
