http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article211927569.html"Gregg Keller, a national Republican consultant based in St. Louis, said Greitens attacks on Hawleys legal competence should outrage Republicans.
He should at a very minimum not attack the attorney general, not attack the man who is going to decide control of the U.S. Senate for the presidents agenda, Keller said. Not only is he attacking that person, but hes attacking that person knowingly with lies and falsehoods and hes doing it exclusively for his own selfish political survival.
Greitens and his team also have attacked the GOP lawmakers conducting the legislative investigation into the governor. The prolonged standoff between the governor and Republican-controlled legislature will have an effect down ballot, said Keller, who worked for John Brunner, a GOP rival of Greitens.
He doesnt care about the Republican Party. ... Its all a lie. Its all a façade, Keller said, noting Greitens past as a Democrat. Hes absolutely willing to burn it all down not just control of the U.S. Senate, but endangering our supermajorities in the Missouri House and Senate that many of us worked decades and the better parts of professional lives to create."
