Republican Missouri Senate candidate Eric Greitens released an advertisement on Monday depicting him and a handful of Marines going “RINO hunting.”
“We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden and the radical Left,” Greitens wrote in a Twitter post featuring the video that has amassed over 1.7 million views. “Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!”
At press time, the tweet was flagged as being against Twitter’s rules. However, the platform graciously allowed it to remain on the platform because its presence was deemed “in the public’s interest”.

In the video, Greitens, holding a shotgun, introduces himself as a Navy Seal and invites his audience to go “RINO hunting” with him. The video then features Greitens standing in front of a house alongside armed soldiers, as they prepare to breach the door of the house.
“The RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice,” he said. Then, the soldiers breach the front door of the house with a battering ram, throw concussion grenades inside, and enter the house with their guns drawn.
Greitens follows the soldiers inside and states “join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO Hunting Permit.”
“There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country,” he said.
Many prominent Republicans such as Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC) have been accused of being “Republicans in name only” due to their efforts to ostensibly subvert the America First political agenda in favor of policies favored by the Washington D.C. establishment.
Greitens in a previous campaign video has stated that he’s “willing to take on Mitch McConnell” should Missouri elect him to be their next Senator.
“I’m voting for new leadership. No more RINOs. I’m not going to be voting for Mitch McConnell,” he said.
I was the first person in the country who said that when I'm in the Senate, I'm voting for new leadership.

Greitens has long been critical of the Republican Senate Minority Leader, and had even written an op-ed for Breitbart accusing McConnell of being a “power-merchant of D.C., prioritizing special interests and personal influence over America” and “actively engaged in working against President Trump and the MAGA movement as we chart our path back to the majority—seemingly unaware why he even has his job in the first place.”
“McConnell has lost touch with our conservative movement. He has also lost his fight, and his leadership over the Republican Party does not represent our values. That is why I am committing to Missouri and the Nation that as a U.S. Senator, I will seek to support fresh, bold conservative leadership in the Senate,” Greitens wrote.

This does have merrit. Republicans are sane, have family values, follow the law and have jobs. Hard to compete with irrational behavior.

You’re truly delusional and off topic.
Republicants don’t fight, how is yoir response relevant?
Republicans all average 3 felonies a day, like you and I do. FACT.
Go read ‘Three Felonies A Day’ or the over 60 million ‘laws’, state and federal.

Terrible commercial. As crazy as people are today, he’s just encouraging violence against Rinos. If anything should have been censored, it was this one. I think it should be taken off the air. Someone is going to get killed because of this kind of rhetoric.

If the Dems can spew violence against anyone who doesn’t agree with their corrupt ideologies, then screw them..It’s not only time to go Rino hunting but also .Dem Jackass hunting!!
The Dems could not have picked a better mascot to represent their party.
It’s actually time to issue Treason indictments followed by public executions, starting with Biden and working out way through the whole party.
Loved the ad!!

All political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Politicians use police to enforce all their agendas on the peasantry. Why is it wrong to use violence on politicians?
You have heard of the 2nd Amendment, haven’t you? Or did you think that was about duck hunting?

Maybe you didn’t get the point Mr. ILF. He’s not joking and neither am I ! We elect certain people to positions with the expectations they will do our bidding as our representative and work diligently for we conservative Republicans. When they jump ship for what ever reason they essentially make our votes not worth the paper they’re printed on.
If we can’t trust our elected representatives to stay the course, and we instead find ourselves being stabbed in the back, those RINOS need to be taken out.
We are way past allowing the DemonRats to wreck violence upon us, which also tells us that the only thing they understand are bullets. So we have determined that Chairman Mao was correct, “Political Power Comes Out Of The Barrel Of A Gun”. Law enforcement supporting the tyranny coming out of Washington as well as politicians who are willing to destroy America will become Targets one & two
Do you morons understand what Civil War is like? Get used to it because we are at about one minute to midnight !!!

But it’s OK for Maxine Waters to incite harrassment, for a libtard whackjob to attempt to murder a supreme court justice, for BLM & Antifa to torch, loot, burn, and murder, for stupid, lazy, psychotic women to murder thusands of babies. Not to mention creating and distributing a virus, then forcing people to get killer vaccine shots.
