Donald Trump Jr. Sings Eric Greitens’ Praises: They Only Go After ‘Guys that Will Actually Pose a Threat’

Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, praised Missouri’s Eric Greitens and said, “they tend to only go after the guys that will actually pose a threat,” during an interview with a local radio station.

Trump brought up the “sham stuff that they’ve thrown at Greitens” when local radio host Marc Cox asked him if he had any insight into who his father might endorse in the U.S. Senate race in Missouri.

“Yeah, I’m not sure. Obviously, it’s been a topic of conversation,” Trump said. “You know, we’ll see. I see who the press hates the most. That’s usually the guy I like.”

“Because you know, it’s sort of like J.D. Vance In Ohio, you know. When CNN hates you, the Washington Post hates you, the New York Times hates you, it was was like, that’s my guy. That makes a lot of sense,” said Trump.

He then went on to talk about the Soros-linked prosecutor, Kim Gardner, who is under serious legal scrutiny for the way she handled her investigation into Greitens in 2018, which ultimately led to his resignation from Missouri’s governorship:

I see the sort of sham stuff that they’ve thrown at Greitens. Now the prosecutor is getting in trouble. The FBI guy admits that he lied under it and when you see those kinds of setups, it makes you wonder what they’re doing, and for a reason, because they tend to only go after the guys that will actually pose a threat. So we’ll see what my father does in it, but you know, I certainly have my own opinions.

As Breitbart News reported:

Gardner launched a politically charged investigation into Greitens in 2018 after the former governor was accused of having an affair and blackmailing the woman with compromising photos while in office. Instead of having the St. Louis Police Department investigate these allegations, Gardner hired former FBI agent William Tisaby to conduct the investigation.

Last month, Tisaby pled guilty to evidence tampering and was sentenced to probation after facing six felony counts of perjury and one count of evidence tampering in connection with the Greitens investigation.

Gardner dropped an invasion of privacy charge against Greitens after a judge determined she would have to testify under oath as part of the case.

“Thank you for the kind words, @DonaldJTrumpJr,” Greitens tweeted along with a clip of the interview. “We are hated and attacked by the fake news media and the RINOs because I am the only America First candidate running in Missouri!”
