From the Missouri Democratic Party:
Kansas City, MO – Tonight the Missouri GOP nominated Eric Greitens for Governor, a man lacking the experience, temperament, and conviction to lead Missouri forward.
“The only office Eric Greitens is qualified for is Hypocrite in Chief,” said Kristin Sosanie, spokeswoman at the Missouri Democratic Party. “Greitens’ so-called ‘outsider’ campaign has been funded by shady out-of-state interests and morally-questionable donors — he simply does not have the qualifications, temperament or conviction to be Governor of Missouri. Chris Koster is the right choice for Missourians in 2016 and we are proud to stand with him for Governor.”
Between collusion with super PACs, accepting the single largest dark money donation in Missouri history, and his refusing to answer tough questions from media and constituents, Greitens has shown his true colors.
But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what a few of his fellow Republicans have said about him:
- “’Greitens doesn’t sit well with me. He’s misleading. He embellishes the truth.” — Jared Ogden, Former Navy SEAL
- “Greitens clearly places his own insatiable ambition over basic human decency.” — Adam McLain, Patriots for America
- “Why is Mr. Greitens, whose entire campaign is based on attacking corruption and dishonesty in politics, holding his largest donor to a lesser standard than he holds everyone else?” — Peter Kinder, Republican Lieutenant Governor of Missouri
- “Is the one-million dollars that Eric Greitens received from Goguen more important than the virtues he claims to fight for?” – Peter Kinder, Republican Lieutenant Governor of Missouri
- “Eric’s silence on the issue of religious freedom is deafening.” – Ryan Johnson, President Of Missouri Alliance For Freedom
