Two Missouri Republicans were accused of burning books at a fundraising event Friday night.
Schroer wrote alongside a photo of him using the flamethrower.
Neither candidate specified that they were burning books during the event.
Schroer denied that they were burning books, writing on X that the "fake news" was spreading "division and hate."
Crystal Quade, Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade and the sole Democratic gubernatorial candidate for the state, condemned Eigel on X.
