ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOX) Former Missouri Governor and U.S. Senate Candidate Eric Greitens speaks on air for the first time since allegations of child abuse by his ex-wife Sheena Greitens were released on Monday.
The Greitens campaign released a statement Tuesday calling the allegations "fabricated" and "baseless" and said it was "clearly a politically-motivated attack." Eric Greitens reiterated his stance with Marc Cox of 97.1 FM on Thursday morning.
"If any of this were remotely true," Greitens said, "if there was even a shred of truth to it, would my ex-wife, and the mediator, and the court all have decided that the best thing for those boys, for my beautiful boys, is to spend the majority of their free time with their dad? It makes no sense. It makes absolutely no sense."
The former Governor claims the timing of the allegations and the dissolved trial against William Tisaby is all a plot by political operatives to hurt his campaign.

"What a coincidence," Greitens said, "What a coincidence. That on the very week, the very week, when William Tisaby pleads guilty; on the very week when we're gonna be exonerated; every one is going to see this entire criminal conspiracy that [George] Soros funded come crashing down; on that very week they release another series of terrible false allegations," declares Greitens, "It's not just me saying that they're false, Marc, anyone with any common sense knows they're false."
