I have a Missouri FB friend who is rock solid (constantly arguing well against liberals on FB) and he also says something is very, very off with Greitens. Normally I wouldn’t put much stock in feelings that can’t be expressed in solid terms, but I have come to trust his judgment and seeing others react in a similar way puts out all kinds of red flags about him. It’s not just his personal past.
Here’s my take. I worked with Eric Greiten’s father Rob. Never cared for the guy, strutted around like a cocky little rooster. His mother was my youngest son’s pre-school teacher. Very nice lady, affectionately called Mrs. G. My hope was that Eric would be more like his mother. Unfortunately, he’s more like his father.
