“As of Tuesday morning, several of the offending tweets had been deleted and Clarke’s account was again active.”
If he did indeed try to blackmail her to keep her quiet, that takes the career of a guy the hard conservative wing of the GOP was hoping to boost right off the tracks.
Yup. Affairs are unfortunate, but they happen between consenting adults.
But…the blackmail shit? Goodnight, presidential hopeful Eric Greitens.
I don’t know, we might be looking at Trump’s next Chief of Staff. I’m sure he’d like to party with him.
Hey everyone let’s vote for Republican candidates, because that hadn’t left the country from one disaster to another for the last 50 years.
I’m sure he’s a deeply religious man though so God probably told him to fuck & photo this woman.
Gee, another scumbag goes down. What a shame.
Yeah, the affair gets the initial attention, but its the revenge porn blackmail that ends the career.
Does he not understand that when you’re a governor, the only way you can participate in blackmail is to be the victim?
He’s denying the blackmail, but this statement from his lawyer is hilarious:
Almost three years ago, folks! That’s practically ancient history.
But specifically and clearly not the threat of blackmail.
Now roll tape of the lady recording Greitens telling her he deleted the photo
Not getting better…
Affairs are bad enough as they are, but maybe, just maybe if he GOP wasn’t so uptight about sex and women, they wouldn’t have to go to such lengths to hide it. Next up, News at 11, he asked her to get an abortion!
Seriously though, this guys sounds all kinds fk’d up.
His Republican bona fides keep going up.Heck, at this rate he will be running against Trump in 2020.
Seriously though, I don’t see him lasting long. It sounds like he made some enemies of other Republicans in the state, and they are now going to pay him back.
Yeah, he ran such a scorched-earth Trump-ist, burn down the establishment (including the party I’m representing) campaign that the knives may be out from him from others in the the state.
His Lt. Governor is an establishment Republican…
Poor Jared is going to have to wait until after both Greitens and Ivanka get their turns to be president.
