Release: Brunner to Greitens at Debate: “Have You No Shame?”

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Republican candidates for Governor held a debate tonight in St. Louis, with most of the event being a fairly tame affair. That all changed, however, when Eric Greitens launched a false attack against former Marine and successful businessman John Brunner on the subject of ethics.
 
Brunner immediately took the fight to Greitens, telling him that he refused to be lectured on ethics by Greitens, whose campaign has taken $1 million from a man charged with holding a sex slave for 13 years . Even after being notified that his primary donor was charged in connection with the sex slave, like a typical politician, Greitens has repeatedly refused to return the tainted money. Brunner closed the tense exchange by challenging Greitens with the question: “Do you have no shame?”
 
“I refuse to be lectured on ethics by Eric Greitens who refuses to return $1 million his campaign took from a man charged with having a sex slave for 13 years. I’ve had enough of Eric Greitens’ hypocrisy and lies and again call on him to return the $1 million he’s taken from accused sex slave owner Michael Goguen,” Brunner said.
