Greitens descent into bad craziness is rather breathtaking. Harbaugh said they’d both been excited about the promise of Barack Obama being elected. He said there was a large poster of JFK at The Mission Continues. Still, he wasn’t shocked when Greitens ran for governor as a Republican. It’s really the only way to get elected in Missouri politics.

Harbaugh said he soon became disheartened by incendiary campaign ads and the harsh tone of fundraising emails that seemed to threaten liberals. When Harbaugh challenged Greitens on it, he said, Greitens said you can’t make changes if you don’t win.

In other words, he was playing rural Missouri for suckers.

Harbaugh posted a brief video on social media, calling on Greitens to quit the Senate race.

x I have known @EricGreitens for 30 years. He is a broken man, who will do anything, including inciting violence, to regain power. He’s not the same person whose weddings I went to. Eric, drop out. Try to repair the damage you have done, to your family, your country, and yourself. pic.twitter.com/TA8DxzzSOF — Ken Harbaugh (@Team_Harbaugh) July 6, 2022

Meanwhile, the Greitens campaign on Wednesday posted another ad, reprising one from the Missouri gubernatorial race in which he, once again, shoots a target and blows something up.

x Because I fought for you, they came after me.



But we're back—wiser, stronger, still fighting— but this time, we are coming with an army.

I certainly don’t know the disgraced former governor the way Ken Harbaugh does, but given Greitens background as a former democrat, and a somewhat progressive one at that, this is simply sociopathic. It’s as if the man will lie, cheat, and shred any supposed conviction he has ever had to appeal to the worst instincts of some of the worst people in Missouri.

It’s precisely what today’s Republican Party has become. A sham designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the lowest common denominator.
