The St. Louis couple at the center of a firestorm over their armed confrontation with a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters will join an official Trump campaign event on Friday night.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who were thrust into the national spotlight after video was captured of them holding firearms to protect their home from protestors on their property, are among the featured guests on the campaign's Friday night livestream. The campaign says the discussion, hosted by former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, will focus on the Second Amendment and what it means for America.
The event comes on the heels of Trump's endorsement from the National Rifle Association, which said in a Friday letter that President Trump had "done more than any president to protect the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms" during his first term. The group spent more than $30 million in support of his 2016 victory and is expected to spend heavily for his reelection.

They were holding them to intimidate people they didn't like to see in their neighborhood.
I haven't seen any evidence to indicate their home was ever in any danger.

There were stories last year that they were doing layoffs, abandoned their stupid online TV channel, had an investigation into their finances, etc.
Then in April, they layed off dozens of people because the pandemic was reducing revenues.
So, now they've got money for campaign contributions?
Hmmmm...
