Gun-Toting Lawyer Who Pointed Rifle at Black Lives Matter Protesters Announces Senate Campaign
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Mark McCloskey , the St. Louis lawyer who infamously brandished a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters alongside his wife last year, is now running for the U.S. Senate.
The McCloskeys became right-wing celebrities approximately a year ago after they pulled guns on people near their mansion who were protesting the police murder of George Floyd . The couple were indicted on felony charges of evidence tampering and the unlawful use of weapons in connection with the incident, but they’ve maintained a high profile among conservatives, and they campaigned for former President Donald Trump by endorsing him in a speech they gave at the 2020 Republican National Convention.
Mark McCloskey confirmed his run during a Tuesday night interview with Tucker Carlson , telling the Fox News host “God came knocking on my door last summer disguised as an angry mob, and it really did wake me up.”
McClosky also released his first campaign video, portraying himself as a defender of suburban freedoms, touting the gun-wielding incident, and railing against “the mob.”
McClosky’s decision to run means he’ll be pitted against disgraced former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens (R) state Attorney General Eric Schmitt , both of whom are also seeking Senator Roy Blunt’s seat once he retires. If McCloskey bases his platform on his dedication to the Trump movement, he’ll face tough competition from Greitens, who already made headway on that front by hiring Kimberly Guilfoyle as his national campaign chair .

This clown spoke on behalf of Trump at the 2020 Republican convention. In his conversation with Tucker Carlson he mouths point for point the right wing political positions seen on Fox, OAN and Newsmax, right down to "cancel culture" and "critical race theory".
In Missouri, that makes him a contender.
aren't there enough rwnj domestic terrorists in congress already?
If I remember correctly one of their firearms was owned illegally and both got arrested for their stunt. They are perfect Trumpturds and should only run for dog catcher, but it would not be fair to the dogs.
This guy sounds like he would fit right in with the GOP. A profoundly ignorant ammosexual white male.
Maybe Large Marge and Miss Bobbitt will give him and his wife lessons on how to hold a firearm
Too right! She was waving that thing around like she was holding a freaking garden hose attachment with a built-in diffuser. I was just waiting for that thing to go off and shoot her husband in the head.
Now that would have been a story!
Want to bet that if that had happened, he'd be trying to sue BLM for making him kill his wife?
