TRANSCRIPT
McCabe: Former Missouri Republican Governor Eric Greitens is in a tough fight for his party’s Senate nomination. Greitens told The Star News Network that fight is made more difficult now that Karl Rove and other anticonservative operatives have made his family part of the campaign.
Greitens: The state of play right now is that we have found out that while I was on spring break with my boys for eight days, Karl Rove, my ex-wife, and political operatives met in Washington, DC, where they notarized and leaked to the press a series of false allegations that have already been disproven.
McCabe: Greitens said his ex-wife admitted she worked off a draft written by GOP establishment operative Karl Rove.
Greitens: We knew that Carl Rove was behind this because Karl Rove had been bragging to other political people that he was working on these allegations and he actually talked to them also about the press timing when they were going to leak them. So the fact is he was bragging about it to other political operatives.
McCabe: The Navy Seal combat veteran said Rove is working with the approval of the top Senate Republican Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell.
I upset Mitch McConnell because I was the first candidate in the country who came out and said that when I am elected to the United States Senate, I’m voting for new America First leadership. I’m voting against Mitch McConnell.
Greitens: I believe strongly that the problem America is facing is not just the left, but it’s also corrupt and cowardly RINOs who stabbed President Trump in the back, who continue to stab the American people in the back.
McCabe: It is all a fight, Greiten said, he welcomes.
Greitens: All of the RINOs and the establishment are coming after me because I’m standing up and fighting for the people of Missouri.
McCabe: Reporting for The Star News Network Neil W. McCabe Washington.
