Yesterday, late afternoon:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
Liberal World Order is $5 gas.

America First is $1.89 gas.

For Missourians, the choice is easy.

One of the responses:

What are you gonna do to gas prices, Eric? Tie them up and take blackmail pictures of them?

No surprise.

This morning:

A response from the Missouri Senate Majority Floor Leader (r):

Caleb Rowden (r) [2016 file photo].

Caleb Rowden @calebrowden
We have been in contact with the Missouri Highway Patrol and hope that former Gov Greitens finds the help he needs.

Anyone with multiple accusations of abuse toward women and children should probably steer clear of this rhetoric. #MOSen #MOLeg

First they came for the RINOs and I didn’t speak up because – there is no such thing as a “moderate” republican, they built this, and we should all appreciate the irony…

This morning:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden & the radical Left.

Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!
[….]
8:30 AM · Jun 20, 2022

Some of the responses:

Oooh so tough!

Not a good ad.

Threatening others’ lives while cosplay the hero.

Sick.

This is disgusting. I’m sure it will appeal to the knuckle scrapers who would vote for you.

You’re a seditionist promoting more violence against your political enemies, all so you can regain the personal power you pissed away.

Ambition over America is a shit cause, Eric.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Plenty.

You are one sick son of a bitch

Just openly threatening people now, aren’t ya?

Cool commercial, dingus. Kinda heavy on policy though. May wanna dumb it down a little for folks who aren’t interested in the wonky minutiae of federal legislation and the machinations of the law with respect to the historical interpretations and implications of the constitution

Are you guys training with the Uvalde police? They also liked to dress up like that

Do you tie them up before shooting them or is that just reserved for the women you’re having affairs with?

Oh my god what is wrong with you?

Seee above.

You think this is normal?

Really going for the 1930s Germany look there, aren’t you?

Irony, too, apparently?

In a world where we’ve lost so much as nation, you’re sick certifiably, sick

What, and I emphasize, the fuck?!

This is deeply embarrassing, like this is pandering to the dumbest voter imaginable. The people responding positively to this already live in hell, they just need to be entertained.

Big jump from duct taping women.

Not really.

So you are encouraging murder because of a difference of political beliefs?

Demonizing and dehumanizing your political opponents is an old trick of totalitarian regimes

The only way I’m watching this is if you tie me up with duct tape and force me against my will

And on and on….

Campaign supplies.

Somebody actually thought this was a good idea?

Today:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
Statement from Tim Parlatore, Attorney for Eric Greitens:

[….]

Sheena Greitens lied in a sworn affidavit alleging abusive behavior that never happened. Her false story is contradicted by numerous photographs, videos, medical and dental records, and even Sheena’s own emails. Multiple sources have now confirmed that she did discuss these matters with Karl Rove before they were filed.

She lied when she claimed that she wanted to keep these family matters private and protect her children from public disclosure because she is the one who leaked her own affidavit to the media to bring public attention.

Sheena Greitens lied when she said ‘they were reported to multiple lawyers, therapists, and our mediator, in 2018 and afterward. ‘These individuals are mandated reporters, required by Missouri law to report allegations of abuse. No such reports have been made.

Statement on my affidavit to the Boone County court:

‘I stand by my sworn statements. I did not discuss the contents of my affidavit with anyone other than my counsel and, after the affidavit was filed, my immediate family. My only interest is what’s best for my two children, and for the last four years, I have gone to great lengths to keep these family matters private to protect them. I am not interested in litigating this matter anywhere other than the courtroom. At the appropriate time in the legal process, I will provide whatever evidence and documentation the court requests, including testimony under oath.’

Real men never abuse women and children!
My statement calling on Eric Greitens to drop out of the U.S. Senate race immediately.


Hi, Vicky Hartzler here. I just wanted to comment on the news today that Eric Greitens’ ex-wife, Sheena, revealed that when they were married he physically abused her and the children. And he used the power of the Governors office to silence and intimidate her.

Well, I have one thing that I want to say. Real men never abuse women and children. Period. End of story.

It’s time for Eric to get out of the Senate race and to get professional help.

Eric Greitens (r) is a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Campaign supplies.

On Monday:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
It’s my honor to lead #ThePeoplesConvoy through Missouri!

No more mask mandates! No more vaccine mandates!

We the People want Freedom!
[….]
6:01 PM · Feb 28, 2022

“…No more mask mandates! No more vaccine mandates!…” So much to be frightened of.

Some of the responses:

How utterly embarrassing when Ukraine is under siege

There’s that.

MO never had state-wide mandates.
This is embarrassing at any time, but esp when men too delicate to wear masks are in the headlines at the same times as grandmas fighting Russian aggression.

What constitutional freedoms are we currently being deprived of?

What about duct tape mandates? [….]

I guess the “emergency” on the Mexican border was on hold today for a joyride where we pretend to be Canadians minus the universal healthcare.

Or, a small number of Canadians pretending to be American right wingnuts, just with universal healthcare.

There aren’t mandates. You are fighting nothing. And if you want to fight real oppression, this isn’t it.

If a face mask is anti-American – what about tying up a beautician?

Pretty sure it’s also absolutely unsafe to film while driving. Clearly, he doesn’t mind MO being one of the only two states where this foolishness won’t get him pulled over and ticketed for reckless, distracted driving. Embarrassing. Pity the camera didn’t fall.

Pretty sure you used to be ok with masks.

You’re probably vaccinated and boosted so hush

Did the hairdresser want her freedom?

This aged poorly.

Anybody tied up in the back seat?

Stay TF away from my daughters.

We all want freedom. Some of us think about others, and not just ourselves, narcissist.

Idiot?

Please don’t let the state line stop you… you should share your unique brand of desperate-psycopath with one of the surrounding 8 states…please?

Any women gagged and bound in your trunk?

Are you the same Eric Greitens who tied up a woman and took sexually explicit photographs of her without her consent? Just checking.

You get indicted for any new crimes lately?

LOL. Americans have moved on from your protests and little convoys. Read the room and try to keep up. Thanks man! [….]

The woman you tied up in your basement wanted freedom, too.

Damn…embarrassing

Do you realize how ridiculous this looks in the face of REAL threats to freedom? Go get a job (not representing me or any human on earth) or disappear back under a rock.

It takes a special kind of stupid to celebrate your freedom to catch a disease and die. Good for you, Potatoe.

Oh yeah let’s remove masks and vaccines that have saved countless lives that’s fuckin smart

Well. Clueless. Wasteful. Whiny. Pathetic.

No matter how desperately he tries he’s not going to outdo the political résumé of Eric Greitens (r) in Missouri.

Last night:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Fight tyranny. Crush Marxism. Love America. [….]
8:21 PM · Jan 20, 2022

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Drink! [….]

Republicans control the house, senate and executive branch of Missouri government. Yet, if I took a drink every time a Missouri Republican used the work “tyranny”, I would need to be treated for alcohol poisoning.

Define tyranny and Marxism and where you are seeing them in America! And cite your sources.

He can’t.

Rock bridge elementary school still wearing those mask. Why don’t you go to court against that?

Why doesn’t he go to court against his kids’ school? [….]

Man, this guy is really getting desperate

We noticed that, too.

How about fighting a virus. Respecting your neighbors isn’t tyranny. Try Keeping kids in school instead of fighting to perpetuate the virus in our schools.

Yeah, we read about that somewhere…

Marxism hasn’t shut down 62 Public School Districts in Missouri this month & flooded our hospitals so severely they’ve required Federal help. Covid has. You’ve fought every mitigation action against Covid, yet the non existent “Marxism” is the boogeyman you’re using?

He gets results!

Foreign policy for $200, please. Who is Marie Yovanovitch?

The desperate pandering is humorous if not repulsive

Fight tyranny, Crush Fascism, Love America.

Sounded good in your head I’m sure

Fight Jabs. Crush Local Control. Love myself. [….]

Blah, blah, blah. You are a broken record

Is a capitol insurrection tyranny? Only one correct answer. You may sit down after your answer. #GOPCoup

You have a crush on Marxism

That’s exactly what they told him at his junior high school lunch table.

Can you please retweet this wearing the cowboy hat and boots so we know you really mean it? Also, why would the party of small gov’t sue individual school districts, even though you will lose?

Dang it Missouri, our AG has been drinking again.

Delete your account

Vote out authoritarian weasels.

Please define Marxism first, Eric.

Also, resign.

Tyranny is an AG who goes around suing school districts for trying to take steps to protect their children, teachers, and their community.

YOU are the tyrant.

All you guys have are trigger words to rile up your base. None of which any of them can actually define.

The GOP has no substance. Just a lot hate.

You’re losing to a sexual predator so this bumper sticker slogan doesn’t seem to be working.

You really became a full-on clown to try to win this upcoming election, huh.
Meanwhile you’re going to lose the primary to a guy who should be in jail for SEVERAL reasons. Bravo, Eric.

You’re a buffoon

Shut up. Go away. For the love of Missouri.
