Missouri man who pointed gun at BLM protesters gets just 3% of vote in GOP Senate primary

St. Louis attorney Mark McCloskeysaid he and his wife had shot Black Lives Matter protesters outside their homes. He became famous for his threats. In the summer of 2020, I lost the Republican primary in Missouri on Tuesday night for the Senate.

In the hotly contested primary to replace outgoing Senator Roy Brandt, McCloskey won just 3% of the vote, trailing winner Eric Schmitt He finished fifth behind three other contenders.

"One thing is certain:MAGA, America First, a strong border, and a true American patriot in this race for law and order. That's me," McCloskey said in a campaign video taped the day before that received less than 20,000 votes.

McCloskey and his wife Patricia McCloskey created one of his defining images of a national race justice uprising in the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020. I was. The two were standing outside a large house in the upscale neighborhood of Portland Place. He pointed his AR-15 and pistol at a small group of marching protesters.

were so quick to bring the guns out.

I had also heard that the McCloskey's neighbors in the Central West End of STLMO don't want them as neighbors, I guess that they are afraid of being shot accidently if their lawn mower should stray over the property line a tiny bit.
