Eric
Greitens, a Republican and former Navy SEAL, is running to be governor
of Missouri. To raise money for his campaign, Greitens has begun selling
ISIS hunting permits.
According
to CBS News, the permits, which read “expires: when we defeat this
evil”, were first promoted by the candidate in an email sent out June
29.
The
email lists the mock hunting permit, which touts “No bagging limit No
tagging limit”, for a $10 donation. For $100 dollars, donors can get a
sticker signed by a former Navy SEAL who claims to be the man that
killed Osama bin Laden in the infamous 2011 raid.
Greitens’ campaign pitch comes after one of his donors was accused of sexual abuse by a former girlfriend.
Michael Goguen, a Silicon Valley investor, is facing a lawsuit from a
woman who alleges Goguen sexually abused for 13 years all the while
promising to free her from human trafficking in exchange, reports KRCG.
Goguen has donated $1 million to the Greitens campaign.
“It’s time for Mr. Greitens to renounce his prior statements, cut all
ties and send the money back,” Catherine Hanaway, a former federal
prosecutor and rival candidate, said. “Even better, he should send it to
a shelter for abused women.”
But Greitens has balked at the claims. “Unlike the career
politicians, I’m not going to convict someone in the court of public
opinion,” the gubernatorial candidate said. “We’re going to see what the
facts are so that we can make a decision and a judgment based on the
facts.”
According to CBS News, Greitens faces a four-way Republican primary
challenge. On August 2, Missourians will chose between the former Navy
SEAL, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, businessman John Brunner, and Hanaway.
