Mark McCloskey files to run for Senate in Missouri
By Tal Axelrod - 05/18/21 07:08 PM EDT

Mark McCloskey, the Missouri lawyer who was seen pointing an assault rifle at Black Lives Matter protesters in St. Louis last year, launched a campaign in the Show Me State’s open Senate race on Tuesday.

McCloskey, a wealthy personal-injury lawyer, filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) announcing his bid and set up a campaign website to begin accepting donations.

He is expected to formally announce his campaign on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Tuesday evening.


McCloskey and his wife, Patricia, rose to national prominence in 2020 after video of them waving their guns at protesters outside their St. Louis mansion went viral. The two were indicted on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and evidence tampering but became a cause célèbre for Republicans, who have raised them up as an example of what they say is a use of firearms in self-defense.

The couple later spoke at last year’s Republican National Convention and even drew support from then-President Trump, who said the charges against them were “disgraceful.”

McCloskey didn't point an "assault rifle" at anyone. He didn't have an assault rifle. The Hill will never post the truth about anything.

Great interview with him on Tucker.  I wish him well and I hope he becomes a senator.

Amen.

We need more normal people whose first desire is to NOT become career politicians but to serve the country.

Has McCloskey proved the latter?
