Facebook removed a campaign video from Missouri Senate candidate Eric Greitens over a violation of its rules, while Twitter allowed the clip to stay up.
Greitens is battling for the competitive Aug. 2 GOP primary, hoping to fill the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Roy Blunt.
The new ad comes as Greitens is struggling to move past allegations of domestic abuse made in a sworn affidavit filed in March by his ex-wife amid their child custody dispute. His former spouse claims he physically abused her and one of their children. She also said his threats to kill himself if she did not provide "specific public support to him" demonstrated "unstable and coercive behavior" leading to others having to intervene to limit his access to firearms, court documents state.

"This is over the line," Wade said. She suggested she would file court papers to make the video an exhibit in the court case.
