Missouri Senate leader says he contacted law enforcement after Greitens campaign video

Hours after former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens released a video saying he would hunt members of the Republican party who he considered not conservative enough, the Republican floor leader of the Missouri state Senate said he had contacted law enforcement.

“We have been in contact with the Missouri Highway Patrol and hope that former Gov Greitens finds the help he needs,” Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden posted on Twitter Monday.

“Anyone with multiple accusations of abuse toward women and children should probably steer clear of this rhetoric.”

Rowden’s post was in response to a now-deleted tweet from an unaffiliated account supporting Greitens’ U.S. Senate campaign. The account, called @Greitens_Eric, no longer exists. The tweet tagged Rowden, Gov. Mike Parson and others. It said “we’ve got our permit and we’re coming for you.”

I hope any Republicans or Democrats who run against Greitens will make that point.

Greiten will say he was joking and that libs are snowflakes and it will all be gone by morning. That's how this works.

and now the full blown psychos are out, and they have their violent eyes on fellow republicans and any other opposition.

Welcome to what republicans supported for years, and its coming for them.
