With all the children and people getting killed by guns, this was a stupid thing to do. I definitely won't vote for him for anything.

Jack L

You have good sense. It`s a rare commodity in politics these days

Jennifer M

Too far? Reminds me of James Huberty that told his wife "I'm going hunting. Hunting for humans". Then proceeded to McDonald's and killed or injured 40 people. Now he's advocating hunting members of his own party. Only a matter of time before an alt-right person thinks it's ok and hunts someone.

Justin stop flirting with me. I don't date rejects covered in lousy tattoos, wearing a dingy "white" wife beater and hat turned around backwards. You're not tough. Just an ignorant thug wanna be. Again, bring nothing of consequence here but your boring name calling

Jennifer M

Yes hairy D. That guy didn't need a gun either. Maybe a red flag law would've stopped it. Maybe not. And yes, with Greitens past, he doesn't need a gun either. He's only trying to rile up pro NRA for the support he so desperately needs

I expect to see some candidate slaughter a goat or a sheep with an AR-15 in a TV ad to prove his support for the second amendment any day now.

Using threats of violence like this just to excite the base for an election is dangerous and leads to more shootings. Decent people on both sides of the aisle should condemn this craziness.

Jennifer M

I see that members of both parties are criticizing this. Keep in mind Greitens has a history of alleged violence to women. His hairdresser and wife. When gun control is such a hot subject right now, why poke the bear with such a tasteless ad?

AVOLITE

This nobody looking for that sweet sweet 15 minutes of MAGA fame represents everything wrong with today's politcal theater for gain while he panders to the absolute worst in anyone who will listen from within the mob. BOTH sides of the aisle have their issues. THIS crap isn't helping.

Jack L

Good point!

Jennifer M

Well said!

Parm Brant Price

He is posting a threat against Republicans through physical violence and that is against the law.

Jack L

Parm, it should be against the law, but it seems we are living in the wild west right now

Max DeYoung

Like Talibiden and Pelosi threatening to Defund Police? And refusing to protect SCOTUS?

HelenHighwater

No explanation necessary.

Jack L

You are right Helen. Some things are just common sense

Jack L

Wow! Eric is getting a little too violent on this video. Looks like he`s auditioning for a Terminator movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r156NzlHmJ4

Jack L

Justin, you are so boring! All you do is run around insulting people. Didn`t you learn any manners in the "institution"?

super man

well, you can disagree with the "big guy"... not like the way things are going....BUT, you don't bring a gun to the ballot box

The Greitens campaign defended the ad, saying it was clearly metaphorical.

Blount is a Rino. We don't need another!

The Left complains about Eric Greitens, and rave about Michael Avenatti. Go figure. Remember Michael Avenatti for President? I do.

Max DeYoung

Democrats and Rinocrats are synonymous, and both are covered with swamp moss.

Max DeYoung

KMIZ is supposedly a Fox network. Why are their National and World stories copied and pasted from Left Wing Networks, like AP and CNN?

Max DeYoung

Eric Schmitt will be a Great Conservative replacement for the liberal blunt boy. Eric Greitens would be better off as Sec. of State.

Lisa Gore

Only the Rinos who haven’t called out the election fraud in MO and the USA are offended by this ad. It’s pretty funny actually! We know who Rinos are, easy to spot: never own up to election fraud, support red flag confiscation laws.

Adam

About time Justin. Did you finish your shift dumping fries. You're too stupid to take an order. Or did you go see your parole officer first? Yet again you bring zero to the table but childish crap

Adam

Omg enough with the 2000 mules crap. That's NOT evidence. If it was, wouldn't at least 1 court have some sort of case with it? That lame documentary is from a millionaire who pled guilty to campaign contributions fraud. Plus Pardoned by Trump. Try again

Jack L

Well said Adam!

Adam

Jesus, stfu already about election fraud Lisa. When you can legitimately show it, in MO or nationally, please do it. Til then, shove a sock in it. Nobody has shown it anywhere. Because there is no fraud!
