Missouri GOP Senate candidate Eric Greitens dismisses ‘faux outrage’ over RINO hunting ad

Missouri Republican Senate candidate Eric Greitens on Tuesday brushed aside the blowback he has received about a campaign ad he released this week that urges voters to join him on a hunt for RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only.

Mr. Greitens, a former governor who resigned in 2018 amid a sexual scandal, described the criticism he has received over the ad as “faux outrage.”

“I don’t think there is a real person in Missouri who thinks about it literally — no one,” Mr. Greitens said Tuesday on “The Marc Cox Morning Show.” “What you are seeing is a bunch of faux outrage from leftists and RINOs.
