Some pushed back on him because he was capitalizing on his military service for personal political gain and others because he was promoting political violence \u2014 a move that could be seen as particularly disturbing as it comes just weeks after a man traveled from California to Maryland with the intent to kill Supreme Court Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/alleged-would-be-kavanaugh-assassin-indicted-for-attempted-murder-of-a-justice\/\">Brett Kavanaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Dispatch\u2019s David French hit Greitens on both points, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidAFrench\/status\/1538917511395262464\">tweeting<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m not going to retweet that Greitens ad because he\u2019s so obviously thirsty for the views, but the man is practically begging for political violence. And it\u2019s particularly gross to declare himself a SEAL at the start. He\u2019s making a mockery of the military ethos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VoteVets called for people to report Greitens for abusing his position as a former SEAL, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/votevets\/status\/1538900044962840576\">adding<\/a>, \u201cEric Greitens a member of the Navy Reserves has violated DOD policy by identifying himself as a \u2018SEAL\u2019 \u00a0and using military uniforms without a Disclaimer.
