Facebook Removes GOP Senate Candidate Greitens' 'RINO Hunting' Video
Newsmax ^ | June 21 | Newsmax

Posted on 06/21/2022 5:59:37 AM PDT by RandFan

Facebook has removed a campaign video by Republican Missouri U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens that shows him brandishing a shotgun and declaring that he's hunting RINOs, or Republicans In Name Only.

In the ad, Greitens, a former Missouri governor who resigned in 2018, is flanked by a tactical unit outside a home on a tree-lined street as he whispers, “The RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice,” using a term popularized by former President Donald Trump and his allies to deride moderate or establishment Republicans.

The armed tactical team breaks through the front door and throws what appear to be flash-bang grenades inside. Greitens enters an empty living room through the smoke and says: “Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”

Facebook said Monday that the video was removed “for violating our policies prohibiting violence and incitement.”

Twitter said Greitens’ post violated its rules about abusive behavior but said it was leaving it up because it was in the “public’s interest” for the tweet to be viewable. The company’s move prevented the post from being shared any further.

What’s the difference between Eric Greiten’s RINO hunting video and Joe Manchin’s campaign ad from 2018?

Dead Wrong

“Sep 10, 2018 Patrick Morrisey’s lawsuit would take away health care from people with pre-existing conditions. That’s just dead wrong, and that ain’t gonna happen.”

I admit it was a stupid ad after the media blamed the right for Tucson, AZ in 2011.

This will merely make his ad far more known.

i like that ad. amazingly i watched it on Twitter which has a disclaimer but still allows it for now. I guess the millennials are still trying to figure out if it’s anti GOP or not. lol

Realistic that should happen. But democrats put up with DINOs to s sure they keep majority especially the senate. You get nothing done being in the minority.

“If anyone doesn’t get the metaphor, they are either lying or dumb,” campaign manager Dylan Johnson said in statement.

Bingo

And who decides who is a "Rino?" Can ANY Republican decide that of any other Republican? It seems to me that this ad could incite violence against any Republican anywhere. After all, a Republican I consider "normal" and you consider a Rino could/might be a target; and vice versa.

In a generic, "global" sense, this ad troubles me because of the state of our nation right now.

Example of stupid censors: My comment was rejected by Yahoo censors. Bradley Cooper was swearing several times in his comments so I made my comment and was censored.

Your comment on Bradley Cooper Says Famous Director Mocked Him for Having 7 Oscar Noms: ‘Go F— Yourself’ has been rejected as it contains content that is in breach of our community guidelines.

I wonder if the soyboys at Facebook Censor HQ know that Greitens was a Navy SEAL?

Maybe they'd soil themselves if they found out.
