Eric Greitens New Hunting RINO Ad Is Freaking The Establishment Out

Republicans should be able to retake the Senate in November, but they may blow their chance by nominating candidates whom too many voters find offensive. A leading example is Missouri Republican Senate candidate Eric Greitens, who is running a TV ad that shows remarkably bad judgment, even for him.

The online ad has Mr. Greitens toting a shotgun and declaring that he’s hunting for “RINO,” short for a Republican In Name Only, who the ad says “feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.” Armed men in military gear break into a home in the ad, followed by Mr. Greitens, who exhorts: “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.”
