Mark McCloskey, who drew headlines last year for brandishing an assault rifle at Black Lives Matter protesters, says he’s looking at running for Missouri’s open Senate seat

McCloskey, a wealthy personal-injury lawyer, said that he had no timeline for making a decision about whether to enter the race for the seat from which Republican Sen. Roy Blunt is retiring.

In June 2020, McCloskey and his wife, Patricia, waved guns at protesters who were marching past their mansion on the way to the home of thenSt. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson. Images of the barefoot couple defending their home — which took place amid a summer of social unrest following the killing of George Floyd — almost immediately went viral. They were later indicted on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and evidence tampering.

The couple became a cause célèbre for conservatives and won the support of then-President Donald Trump, who used the incident to advance a central theme of his reelection campaign — that far-left activists were overrunning upscale communities. Trump

In the NUT Party?

🙄

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

trash

Looking Uncancelled

Well is treasonous HawleyMO can be their senator why wouldn't this clown represent them in the house? It tells you all you need to know about the people of MO

StopGunViolence GunReformNow

He would be a star in Missouri

I'm glad that I don't live in Missouri.

Assjack.

NO

Hahaha! 🤣 Good luck with that!

'Vote for me, Republicans - you already know I hate black people!' - first YouTube ad, probably

He'll fit right in with the other wingnuts.

I'll just assume he's a Republican 😂 hope the past her prime trophy wife gets a lift before the primary

He would!!! Predictable!!

IT IS JUST THE SOUTH. ...

So, we know how he feels about Blacks and Guns! I assume that he’s a Trumpist as well! Please don’t vote for this person!

WHITE PRIVILEGE ALERT!!!

Knowing how America functions he'll probably get his way.

Wow 😳

They look Trumpy. If they have gold toilets they'll probably get the nomination

Don’t we have enough GOP crazies in the Senate?

omg -- no words!

Oh no.......

Good Lord... do ANY of the Repulsivecans have any shame? They make headlines after being showcased as vile racist gun-toting nutcases, and then they think that people will believe they will do a good job for them and will vote for them. Sad thing is, there are weirdos that will.

Donald broke the glass, sorry Ironbar ceiling meant to keep the crazies from governance

of course, and don't forget your big manly gun and lunatic wife...

Trump got yalll wayyyy pumped up. Damn shame.

This is exactly what the taliban, isis, al-qeada want! American against American, China against America, America against Russia... The real terrorists can sit back and watch us fight and destroy each other... Remember united we stand divided we fall.

How are these two not spending the rest of their lives in prison?

That won’t be good.

sorry to say you can do stuff like that in Missouri and they think it is acceptable... sad to say true story

Mark McCloskey broadcasted his priorities and it’s not for the people of Missouri... Missouri has had enough of the Mark McCloskeys and the Josh Hawley, the whole of society must do everything in our power to keep the egos of hate out of power positions..

Good grief on what qualifications? Being a rich arrogant ass?

They're both ambulance chasing cons who have rap sheets of their own in, you know, the nicest way in white collar crime. Them: Make me governor.

he also sues lots of people

Oh Lordy no!

ewwwwwwwwwww

The question is, are they shitty and racist enough for today's republican party?

I'd seriously consider supporting MarkMcCloskey... He's clearly a 2A supporter and isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He is from a good league of candidates like AnthonyBouchard.

McCloskey is incompetent

And he’ll be elected...he fits the profile of the GOP’s.

KathyHoldshope America needs more crazy gun nuts running the country.

Why not? Plenty of idiots are already getting elected for office in all the red states...

Joanna_Resists Yep. Republicans.

Geez all the crazies live in MO now

Got my vote. Glad he's standing up to domestic terrorists..

Our politics are so fucking broken.

Good idea. There aren’t enough lunatics in Congress

JTraversDevine I see he has his ROBOTIC WIFE placed next to him.

And amplifying this white racist wackadodle! 😫

So now a bunch of looters are called protesters? Fuck BLM shit, it was always about money. Maybe another founder of this will buy few homes?

Hello awesome people create beautiful children book illustration

Also, perhaps for their marketing material they can use the pic of them standing out front of their house pointing guns at people.
