GOP candidate Eric Greitens DEFENDS 'RINO hunting' campaign ad and says video of him storming home with shotgun alongside tactical team was 'clearly a metaphor' after outrage at the advert

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens, 48, said his controversial 'RINO hunting' ad was 'clearly a metaphor' as he shrugged off the backlash

The campaign ad showed the Missouri Republican armed with a military squad breaking into a home and firing shot after shot

They were hunting for RINOs, Republicans In Name Only, as Greitens urged GOP voters to back Donald Trump's MAGA candidates

The video faced quick backlash from political opponents as it was deleted from Facebook and flagged by Twitter over the violations of 'abusive behavior'

Greitens is the frontrunner of 20 vying for the GOP nomination on August 2 upon the upcoming retirement of GOP Sen. Roy Blunt

Greitens, who previously resigned in disgrace as the governor of Missouri amid sexual assault and blackmail allegations, posted a 38-second campaign clip to Twitter.

'I'm Eric Greitens, Navy Seal and today we're going RINO hunting,' he said. 'A RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.'

'We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden & the radical Left. Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!' he captioned the new clip.

'Join the MAGA crew and get a RINO hunting permit,' Greitens says. 'There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn't expire 'til we save our country.' Trump has not endorsed Greitens or waded into the Missouri race at all so far.

#1 Hasn't he learned: you are not allowed to use metaphors anymore. But then again, he's obviously a myogenic racist, so I suppose it doesn't matter.

#2 He got the intended x 10 multiplier on his ad spend.

#3 said his controversial 'RINO hunting' ad was 'clearly a metaphor'

I remember Sarah Palin saying something like that but somehow it was NOT OK when she said it.
