Eric Greitens ‘RINO-hunting’ video incited violent threats to his ex-wife, lawyer says in court

An attorney for Sheena Greitens says she received threats of violence after Eric Greitens' Senate campaign published a video depicting him toting a gun and hunting his political opponents.
Sheena Greitens’ attorney asked a judge Thursday to direct her ex-husband Eric Greitens to issue a public statement denouncing threats made since his Senate campaign published a video depicting him toting a gun and hunting his political opponents.

Associate Circuit Judge Leslie Schneider was presented with printouts of two threats.

One was posted directly to Eric Greitens’ Twitter account in response to the video. The other – graphic in its description of a sexually violent assault – to Sheena Greitens’ email account at her employer, the University of Texas.

“Wouldn’t it be awful is (sic) someone hunted down and killed Eric Greitens and his entire family,” the tweet stated. “Golly, that would be terrible!”
