Facebook removed a video from Missouri Republican Senate nominee Eric Grittens’ campaign on Monday for violating the anti-violence platform’s rules.
In the video, Greytens is seen holding a gun and stating that he is hunting RINO or Republicans by name alone.

The ad includes the former governor of Missouri, surrounded by an armed tactical unit on a street outside the home, saying, “RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by streaks of cowardice.”
The tactical team breaks through the front door and throws lightning bolts inside the house. Greytens then went into an empty living room through the smoke and called on voters to get a “RINO hunting permit.”

“Join the MAGA team. Get a hunting license from RINO. “There is no baggage limit, there is no labeling limit and it does not expire until we save our country,” he said in the video.
Facebook said the video was downloaded because it violated “prohibit violence and incitement” rules.
Twitter allowed the Greitens ad to remain on the platform because, although it violated its abuse rules, the video was in the “public interest”, although retweets, likes and responses were limited.

Greytens is fighting for a competitive GOP primary on Aug. 2, hoping to take the seat vacated by retired Republican Sen. Roy Blunt.
The new ad comes as Greytens struggles to overcome allegations of domestic violence in an oath of allegiance filed in March by his ex-wife amid their child custody dispute.
His ex-wife claims that he physically raped her and one of their children. She also said that his threats to commit suicide if she did not provide him with “concrete public support” demonstrated “unstable and coercive behavior” that led to others interfering to restrict his access to firearms, according to the court. documents.

Greytens denied the allegations, but they hurt him during the election campaign.
He resigned as governor in 2018 amid criminal investigations and after being accused of having an extramarital affair with his hairdresser and took a compromising photo of her so that she would refrain from talking about it.

His wife’s lawyer, Helena Wade, told The Kansas City Star that she would “absolutely” use the new campaign video against him in court.
“It’s over the border,” Wade said. She offered to file court documents to make the video evidence in the lawsuit.
