Source: KMOV

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -
A US Army veteran appearing in a new TV ad for Eric Greitens is facing criticism for controversial posts about rape and Muslims.

Robert Murphy is featured in the ad defending Greitens against attacks from opponent Chris Koster.

Murphy's Facebook page is full of supporting messages for the military and second amendment rights. However there are also posts mocking Muslims and one recommending liberal victims of rape urinate on their attackers.

is a POS. Bought and paid for by the NRA, KKK, and every Alt.Right white nationalist shit head. I don't give a shit that he is an ex Seal. My dad was ex Navy, but he was an honorable man, Greitens doesn't know what honor means.

I was really upset with the guy using his Vietnam service as an endorsement of Greitens. Then again in a state like Missery you have all these red-neck assholes!! I too am a Vietnam vet but I won't use my service record for an endorsement. What really bothers me about this ad is the fact that even after this dip-shit was called out for his Facebook comments, the ad is still running in Missery!! Shows you how RED that state is.. And stupid I might ad..
