Eric Greitens was at one time, a massive rising star in the Republican party. He was young, telegenic, a former Navy SEAL and the Governor of Missouri. That all came crashing down in 2018 thanks to a sex scandal. The Republican is attempting a comeback by running for a soon-to-be-open Missouri senate seat. Some in the GOP fear that if he was to win the primary, he could cost them the seat.
This week, Greitens’ ex-wife Sheena revealed in court filings that he had physically abused her. Mitch McConnell responded to the news by saying Republicans, “caught a break.”
Greitens furiously responded to those comments in a video posted online Friday:
“I wanna tell you directly, Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell. Hear me now. You are disgusting cowards and we are coming for you. We are no longer going to allow you – not just to attack me and attack my kids, but to destroy this country, and that’s what you’re doing. You’re making life hard for millions of families around this country by cooperating with the left, by stabbing President Trump in the back, by stabbing the people of American in the back, and we’re not gonna stand for it anymore.
Know this. the freedom wing of the Republican Party, true patriots, true conservatives, we are coming for you. And we’re not just taking back our party, we’re taking back our country. We see your game, we see your lies, but we also know this: that at the end of the day, truth prevails.”
