Lawmakers call for ex-Missouri Governor Eric Greitens to drop out of the Missouri Senate race.

The statements came after Greitnes’ ex-wife claimed he was physically abusive and that he is unstable. The allegations were revealed in a sworn affidavit from Sheena Greitens that is part of an ongoing child custody dispute in Missouri.

Eric Greitens tweeted “I have faith, and I know that ultimately truth will always prevail,” and released a statement.

“Being a father is the joy of my life and my single most important responsibility,” Greitens said in the statement.
