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.”

On Monday afternoon Missouri State Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden said he contacted the Missouri Highway Patrol following the release of the ad. This sounds like the Democrats’ Red Flag Laws?

Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R), who resigned amid multiple scandals in 2018, is leading the race to become the GOP nominee to represent the state in the Senate, according to a new internal poll that his campaign shared with The Hill. The poll found Greitens leading two members of Congress — Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long — as well as Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and gun activist Mark McCloskey, who went viral after images showed he and his wife holding guns in front of their St. Louis home in 2020. More than a quarter of surveyed voters,...

Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., responded to a recent Kansas City Star article appearing to link her faith to "White Christian nationalism," which the congresswoman said tried to make her look like a "radical." The Missouri lawmaker is running for Sen. Roy Blunt's open seat in Missouri’s crowded GOP primary this August and was the subject of story titled, "Running God's way: Can Vicky Hartzler's 'conservative biblical values' win a Senate seat?" The article was published by the KC Star on Easter Sunday. Reporter Daniel Desrochers suggested Hartzler's Christian views about returning the country to its traditional values mirrored "White Christian...

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner on Monday admitted to wrongdoing before a state legal board in a case she prosecuted against former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and will accept a reprimand, according to news reports. Gardner appeared before the Missouri Office of Disciplinary Counsel in a St. Louis County courthouse for claims of prosecutorial misconduct. Both sides agreed to a reprimand, but the Missouri Supreme Court will decide disciplinary actions, according to KMOV TV. Gardner, who has had financial campaign support from liberal megadonor George Soros, was accused in a 73-page report of failing to disclose evidence to Greitens'...

The Missouri Supreme Court on Friday affirmed a lower court’s ruling that ordered St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner to turn over more than two years’ worth of communication records with billionaire Democrat megadonor George Soros. John Solomon filed a public records request in 2019 seeking communications records between Gardner’s office and Soros, the Soros Fund Management, and Soros’ Open Society Foundation in connection with Gardner’s prosecution of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R). The request sought “all calendar entries, phone messages, text messages, emails, encrypted app chats, letter correspondence[,] and long-distance toll records” Gardner made from January 6, 2017,...

@mattgaetz The Framing of Eric Greitens @AmandaMilius Exactly. Unless someone shows me something real and convincing, I can smell an op from far away at this point. I’ve always know @EricGreitens as a kind, charming and respectful guy who’s very dedicated to Am First policies so it doesn’t surprise me that the attacks continue.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) bluntly told scandal-ridden former Gov. Eric Greitens (R-MO), who is running for the US Senate, that he should be in handcuffs following a court filing by his ex-wife who is accusing him of spousal and child abuse. “If you hit a woman or a child, you belong in handcuffs, not the United States Senate,” Hawley asserted. “It’s time for Eric Greitens to leave this race.” Hawley has endorsed Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) for the Senate seat. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) endorsed Missouri state Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R). Greitens is currently the front-runner for the GOP’s...

GOP establishment consultant Karl Rove had prior knowledge of contents of a now-public filing that Sheena Greitens, the ex-wife of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, filed in a dispute over the parenting structure for their two boys, a top confidante of GOP mega-donors told Breitbart News exclusively. Rove, in response, issued a statement to Breitbart News denying the donor confidante’s account of events. In addition, a top ally of Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell employs Sheena Greitens’s sister at three different political consulting firms. Rove, who was once the right-hand political consultant of President George W. Bush, told GOP donors...

A former FBI agent hired by the St. Louis circuit attorney to investigate criminal allegations against then-Gov. Eric Greitens has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor evidence tampering in connection with his conduct during the case. William Tisaby, 69, admitted Wednesday that he failed to turn over certain documents to the governor’s defense attorneys, including notes he took during an interview with the woman at the center of the case. He had faced seven felony counts, including allegations that he lied during a March 2018 deposition about the investigation. “There was no malice in this man’s heart,” Tisaby’s attorney, Jermaine Wooten, said...

ST. CHARLES (KMOV.com) - US Senator Josh Hawley has made an endorsement in the upcoming US Senate race in Missouri. Saturday, Hawley endorsed Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler in the Missouri GOP primary; the announcement was made at Missouri GOP's Lincoln Days event in St. Charles. Hartzler has represented Missouri's 4th Congressional District since 2011. The district covers an area from near Jefferson City to just south of Kansas City. Hartzler is one of several candidates running to replace retiring US Senator Roy Blunt. Other candidates include Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and former Governor Eric Greitens.

Greitens released a written statement Tuesday after her ex-husband, former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, alleged she had been working with his political enemies to undermine his campaign for U.S. Senate. The accusations are included in a sworn affidavit she filed as part of an ongoing child custody dispute. “I stand by my sworn statements,” she said. “I did not discuss the contents of my affidavit with anyone other than my counsel and, after the affidavit was filed, my immediate family.” Her only interest, she wrote, was “what’s best for my two children, and for the last four years, I have...

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, now a leading Republican Senate candidate, was physically abusive and demonstrated such “unstable and coercive behavior” that steps were taken to limit his access to firearms, according to new allegations from his ex-wife revealed in court records on Monday. The sworn affidavit from Sheena Greitens is part of an ongoing child custody dispute in Missouri. A public affairs professor at the University of Texas, she sought divorce from Eric Greitens after a sex scandal that led to his resignation as governor in June 2018. She’s now asking the court to move...

Former governor of Missouri and front-running candidate in his U.S. Senate race, Eric Greitens (R), said he believes the future of the Republican Party has no place for “RINOs” (Republican in Name Only). Greitens, who has come out against Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) while on the campaign trail, told Breitbart News Saturday the “country is in crisis” and the “RINOs have failed us,” including McConnell, who “has repeatedly stabbed [former President Donald Trump] and the American people in the back.

Former President Donald Trump’s endorsement is coveted among Republicans running for U.S. Senate in Missouri. All of the candidates talk about their support of Trump on the campaign trail. At least two have brought on former Trump staffers as paid advisers. And more than one of them might get the endorsement. Trump, frustrated that he’s getting conflicting advice from advisers and unsure of which one to believe, is reportedly considering endorsing more than one candidate, according to Politico.

Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt pleaded with former President Trump to not endorse disgraced former Gov. Eric Greitens in the Missouri Senate race. On “The Hugh Hewitt Show” Wednesday, Hewitt begged Trump not to endorse Greitens, saying Republicans would lose the Senate seat if he did so. “Please don’t, please don’t endorse Eric Greitens. That’s a nightmare, Mr. President. We’ll lose that seat. But that’s Hugh Hewitt’s opinion, not yours,” Hewitt said.

Eric Greitens was last among major Republican candidates for Senate in second quarter fundraising, underscoring fears that the disgraced former governor will make Democrats competitive for the seat if he secures the nomination. Greitens’ campaign brought in about $449,000, well behind Attorney General Eric Schmitt, the fundraising frontrunner with $1.3 million. The latest campaign finance filing shows that major Missouri Republican donors continue to view him as toxic after he resigned in 2018 amid multiple scandals, including allegations of violent sexual abuse and blackmail.
