lawyer in launching U.S. Senate bidMark McCloskey, a St. Louis personal-injury lawyer who gained national attention after he and his wife waved guns at racial injustice protesters who marched near their home last summer, said Tuesday he will run for the U.S. Senate in 2022.
McCloskey made the announcement on Tucker Carlsons show on Fox News. Earlier Tuesday, the Federal Election Commissions website showed Mark McCloskey for Missouri was registered, and a website was seeking campaign donations.
God came knocking on my door last summer disguised as an angry mob, McCloskey told Carlson. And it really did wake me up.
Incumbent Missouri Republican Roy Blunt announced in March he would not seek a third term. McCloskey will seek the Republican nomination against two contenders with strong name recognition: Former Gov. Eric Greitens, who resigned from office amid a sex scandal in 2018; and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.
Several members of Congress are weighing runs in heavily-Republican Missouri. Five lesser-known Democrats also have announced Senate bids.

If they can mistake a mob for God may be that's why they revere Trump as one.

That's nothing. Look at the way we treated Jesus when he came for a visit.
