So much for his "family values!"

Quote:ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis grand jury on Thursday indicted Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens on a felony invasion of privacy charge for allegedly taking a compromising photo of a woman with whom he had an affair in 2015. The Republican governor responded that he made a mistake but committed no crime.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner launched an investigation in January after Greitens admitted to an affair with his St. Louis hairdresser that began in March 2015. He was elected governor in November 2016. Gardner, a Democrat, declined comment beyond a brief news release.

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens indicted on invasion of privacy charge related to affair

He should resign today or should be impeached tomorrow

get him out

Well the democrats go after all the republicans with whatever they can find. I wonder if this one comes back to bite them on the split side.
As for this charge, sounds like making a crime out of a lovers dispute to me. Guy quits girl>girl gets pissed>Guy wins at something> girl tries to destroy him. Happens every day.

The topic is the MO governor, not the Mayor of Nashville.

So where is the pic?

Funny part is... if the Dems do get Greitens to resign (which I think is likely), they're going to hate the Lt. Governor who gets moved up even more (and unlike Greitens, he will be a major PIA to any democrats hoping to try to turn Missouri blue in policies)

The point....is that Democrats don't cite family values as election criteria like Republicans do.

My point...the democrats abandoned family values 50 years ago.

That is correct. They usually cite anti family values like abortion, same sex marriage, dumbdowned school curriculum, a father less welfare system etc. etc. etc.

No they emphasize women's issues while they support a rapist president, a rapist enabling candidate and Hollywood full of rapists.

Why was my post deleted?

I think all the fallout from Missouri (and to an extent Illinois) politics is bound to help Claire McCaskell (and I've said that earlier on this site too). Josh Hawley is the likely Republican candidate against McCaskell and he may have to be drawn into the Greitens mess as the current Missouri Attorney General.

But more than that, I just believe that Missouri voters (women) are going to want to keep a woman in the Senate in that state, rather than have two men representing them.

So he took a nude photo of his main squeeze?

In that I'm not seeing the crime.

So what did he actually do, or what are the awful circumstances surrounding this?

How was my response in bringing up someone from the other end of the political spectrum different from every other thread on this board?

Lock his ass up.
