St. Louis man who waved rifle at protest running for Senate

(AP) Mark 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, says he will run for the U.S. Senate in 2022.

McCloskey made the announcement Tuesday on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News. 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 GOP members of Congress also are weighing runs.

  1. This has got to be the most poorly written piece of propaganda that you’ve copied and pasted from the AP to date. Lmfao. “Waived a rifle at racial injustice protestors marching near his home”. Hahahaha. BLM terrorists that broke into their gated community.
