Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) “hit the conservative talk radio circuit Tuesday, arguing that a campaign video showing him storming a house with soldiers in search of ‘Republicans in name only’ was intended to be a humorous metaphor,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Said Greitens: “I don’t think there is a real person in Missouri who thinks about it literally. Not one. What you’re seeing is a tremendous amount of faux outrage from leftists and RINOs.”
