Step down, Gov. Greitens, or prepare to be impeached

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens should step down, or prepare to be impeached. Because what happened between him and his former hairdresser wasn’t 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 woman’s 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, he’d see to it that everyone would see the half-naked photo of her he’d just taken, “and everyone will know what a little whore you are.”
