Eric Greiten’s new ad is offensive to Democrats and RINOs because there is not a nickel’s worth of difference between the two. This is the year that we all need to go RINO hunting with our votes, not with our guns, but in the ad, Greitens is carrying a shotgun. That is a metaphor and not a call to violence. But of course the Democrats and RINOs are trying to depict it as a call for violence.
The Democrats are the ones who are violent or at least they are the ones who condone it. They may not vandalize a pro-life center, but they will gladly hold the coats for those who do. They did not condemn the violence during the 273 riots led by antifa and BLM. Yet, they have gladly stripped those who protested on January 6th of every Constitutional right that they have.
Greitens said:
“The RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.”
“There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country”
“We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden & the radical Left. Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!”
Twitter has partially banned the video and I cannot post it like I usually can, but if you follow this link or place it in your browser, you can open it:

Twitter has labeled it offensive, but they are allowing people to see it because they think it could be in the public interest to see it. Translation: They think it will turn people off the Republican Party.
Users can still find and quote the tweet, but commenting, retweeting, and liking have all been disabled to limit the post’s reach.
Facebook took more drastic action and removed Greitens’ video, according to CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan.
The ad prompted visceral reactions from the left on Twitter, which accused Greitens of inciting violence against members of his own party.
“This is sociopathic. You’re going to get someone killed,” Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) tweeted.
“Radical.. extreme… unhinged… today’s MAGA Republicans are a cancer to American democracy,” said DNC chairman Jaime Harrison.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) blamed Republican leaders Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell for enabling “MAGA radicals” to run as Republicans.
“Now it’s out of control & threatens everyone’s freedom,” Swalwell tweeted.
