Allegations fly between Greitens, Brunner in latest Missouri gov debate

Source: STL Post Dispatch

ST. CHARLES • The long-simmering feud between Eric Greitens and John Brunner, two Republicans seeking the party’s nomination for Missouri governor, broke open on a stage at Lindenwood University on Wednesday, with Greitens accusing Brunner of being a campaign saboteur and liar, and Brunner counterattacking over the controversial source of Greitens’ single largest campaign contribution.

“Take responsibility for what your team did,” Greitens demanded angrily near the end of the one-hour debate, which was televised on KMOV-TV (Channel 4).

“(I) refuse to be lectured by a guy who took $1 million from the owner of a teenage sex slave … Have you no shame?” Brunner countered, as the audience of opposing supporters cheered and booed.

Greitens, Brunner and the other two candidates for the nomination — former Missouri House Speaker Catherine Hanaway and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder — participated in what was otherwise a familiar debate scene, with all four candidates generally agreeing on low-tax, pro-police and pro-gun rights policy goals.

Greitens and Hannaway both run their second amendment teevee ads after every shooting.

I am sick of all of them.

Talking about how crime is out of control, she is a tough prosecutor, and she expanded gun rights. She is pictured blasting away with her weapon.

She ran it all day after Orlando and Dallas. Someone has given her big $ for teevee ads.

I think Brunner is the guy who hounded another primary opponent until he committed suicide.

Seriously, they're horrible.

Who was giving out "Hunting Permits" for ISIS as a joke to raise money. Gee, anyone see a potential problem with this? Some IDIOTS BELIEVE ALL Muslim are ISIS terrorist and will take this as a sign to assault Muslims, take the law in their own hands. Any act of violence or homicide, blood will be on Greiten's hands. Hunting permits for ISIS, how INSANE is that idea.
