Eric Greitens, a Missouri Senate candidate, is railing against Facebook, after the platform pulled his ad that featured a violent vision of dealing with RINOs.
Greitens ran an ad over the weekend that featured a hunting expedition for RINOs. In the video, Greitens is seen storming a house with a group of men dressed in military attire, seeming to mimic an armed raid on a politician who is surrendering to Biden.
The RINO is marked by cowardice. In the video, Greitens says there's no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn't expire until we save our country.

Meta removed Greitens' video from the platform on Monday afternoon. The video was taken down for violating Meta's policies on violence and insinuation.
There is a notice displayed to viewers before they can watch the video.
The rules on abusive behavior are on the website. The notice said that it may be in the public's interest for theTweet to remain accessible.
In response to Meta's actions, Greitens wrote in a Facebook post. We are going to take on Big Tech when I get to the Senate. The new ad that Facebook doesn't want you to see is worth watching.
Greitens resigned as Missouri's governor in the middle of last year. He was accused of trying to blackmail a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair. He was accused of sexually abusing her.
The former lawmaker's ad ran the same weekend that the congressman spoke out about receiving a threat.
Kinzinger said Greitens was a very bad man for posting the ad. The Illinois lawmaker was one of the Democrats who slammed Greitens over the video.
Politicians have been reprimanded for posting violent imagery. In November, Gosar was censured for a violent video he posted of himself killing two people.
