Step down, Gov. Greitens, or prepare to be impeachedBy The Kansas City Star Editorial Board
April 11, 2018 07:10 PM
Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens should step down, or prepare to be impeached. Because what happened between him and his former hairdresser wasnt an affair, but a physical and sexual assault on the woman, according to the description of his despicable behavior detailed in the unsparing report the House committee investigating the governor released on Wednesday.
Over many hours, the woman told the panel under oath that the governor had slapped her more than once, and had coerced her sexually. On one occasion, she said, he out of nowhere just, like kind of smacked me and grabbed me and shoved me down on the ground. All five Republicans and two Democrats on the committee signed the report, and said they believed the womans story and found her to be an overall credible witness.
She told the committee that during her initial sexual encounter with the governor, while she was blindfolded and restrained against her will, Greitens told her that if she ever so much as said his name, hed see to it that everyone would see the half-naked photo of her hed just taken, and everyone will know what a little whore you are.

that is on the panel was speaking recently at a town hall in North St. Louis County that I attended and he stated that while he could not go into any details of the committee's work or what they had heard, everyone on the committee was taking the work very seriously.
