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.
“I will continue to love and care for my beautiful sons with all of my being, and that includes fighting for the truth and against completely fabricated baseless allegations,” Greitens continued. “I am seeking full custody of my sons, and for their sake, I will continue to pray for their mother and hope that she gets the help that she needs.”
Candidates in the Missouri Senate race called for the leading Republican Senate candidate to drop out of the race almost as soon as the new allegations became public Monday.
