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.

Jennifer M

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

Jack L

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.

Jack L

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!

Max DeYoung

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!

Vernon Taylor

He's not a RINO or a Democrat. Whatever he is - he's better than both. I would say they're both losing their minds but that would be a contradiction.

Cleaning up all the bloat, fraud and corruption in our federal government all while helping with the massive over spending causing inflation.

Tim Kennedy

People need to get back to acting on what’s good for The country and sop asking what the country can do for them. We are in a me society we need to get back to a we society.

Scott Keel

Long overdue!!!!

Eric Smith

Absolutely! Long overdue.

Maria Gose

Accountability is way past due. Keep forging forward .

Melissa Hill

I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

James Lucas

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Max DeYoung

Best thing that's ever happened for our government.

Rodney Scott

Taxpayer dollars have been wasted for decades. Time to stop it! I am 73. This problem goes all the way to local politicians. Hundreds of thousands spent on ev busses and maintenence vehicles! WASTED MONEY!!!

I don't support. Things I'm against: 1)They feed women crumbs to nibble, as a tactic to keep us thinking we aren't losing rights.2)Racism & hate is worse &must go.3)Hacked in to sensitive info, causing safetyconcerns. 4)Defunded and fired many. No jobs+No $=economy toworsen. 5)They're clueless.

Max DeYoung

You just defined a democrat.

Ellen Jarvis

Think before you act!

Connie B.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

Max DeYoung

That's the problem. You don't understand.

Connie B.

Max DeYoung

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Varyanna Ruthengael

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Max DeYoung

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

Varyanna Ruthengael

Max DeYoung

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Just like Dr. Fauci right.

Ashley Edelen

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Please explain how exposing fraud, waste and abuse is harming democracy in a republic?
