Mark McCloskey, the attorney who pointed a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters alongside his wife last year, filed paperwork on Tuesday to run for one of Missouri’s Senate seats in 2022. “When the angry mob came to destroy my house and kill my family, I took a stand against them,” McCloskey said in a campaign video that was unveiled on Fox News on Tuesday. “Now I’m asking for the privilege to take that stand for all of us.” McCloskey and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, both lawyers, sparked national outrage last year as the country was in the grips of a series of racial justice protests. On June 28, a group of demonstrators in St. Louis marched toward the home of the city’s then-mayor, ultimately walking down the McCloskeys’ street in front of their $1.1 million home.More Related News
