The Missouri Republican shared a 38-second video on Twitter where he advertises his past as a Marine Corps and appears to be raiding a house while going on what he calls a “RINO hunt.” “RINO feeds on corruption and is characterized by stripes of cowardice. “There is no baggage limit, no labeling limit and it does not expire until we save our country,” he says in the video. Gretens, who appears to be holding a long shotgun during the video, is surrounded by men in camouflage uniforms of the U.S. Armed Forces. He also urged his supporters to join the “MAGA crew” and get a “RINO hunting license” after rushing to an empty house while his crew threw a flash grenade. He shared the video with a caption on Monday that said, “We are sick and tired of Republicans in the name of surrendering only to Joe Biden and the radical Left.” Greitens, who calls himself a conservative and an “outsider,” was quick to retaliate on social media for referring to man-hunting in the video. Spokesman Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) Took to Twitter to denounce the video, saying “this guy[s]Cist messages must stop. It only encourages political violence. “ Lawmaker Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) also said on Twitter that “this is sociopathic.” He added that Gretens “would kill someone.” Asked for comment by The Hill, the Greitens’s campaign press office said: “If anyone does not understand the metaphor, they are either lying or stupid.

He shared disturbing details, such as that Eric Gretens bought a gun, hid it from his family and threatened to commit suicide if his then-wife did not provide “specific public political support” before his resignation.

Has previously said that Greitens should leave the Missouri race after allegations of abuse came to light. “If you hit a woman or a child, you are handcuffed, not to the United States Senate,” Howley wrote on Twitter. “It’s time for Eric Greitens to leave this fight.” The video comes as a bipartisan group of 20 senators – 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats – announced an agreement with nine authorities on possible measures to combat gun violence, including funding for mental health and safety school programs and revisions of juvenile records for arms buyers. under the age of 21 years.
