Greiten says 'we're going RINO hunting' in gun-toting ad and draws national criticism

The U.S. Senate candidate tweeted a dramatization of himself, cocking a shotgun and following men in combat uniforms who break down the door of a home. As he enters the home he invites supports to get a hunting permit for RINO's, a derogatory label for moderate Republicans. Backlash has accused the candidate of inciting political violence.
Eric Greitens, the former Missouri governor who resigned from office over sexual blackmail allegations, released a campaign ad for the U.S. Senate that mockingly suggests hunting down fellow Republicans.

The gun-toting commercial, where Greitens crashes into a home with a squad of men in camouflage and battle armor, drew swift condemnation from across the country. The ad features the use of tactical military gear and suggests, with a wink, taking violent action against Republicans who aren’t conservative enough.
