Mark McCloskey, the attorney in St. Louis who came under attack for defending his family against a BLM mob, appeared on Tucker Carlson to announce his run for the U.S. Senate seat in Missouri. Solid interview, solid platform, great candidate. Campaign Website HERE
McCloskey would be running to fill the senate seat of Roy Blunt, a republican who announced he was not running for reelection.
.
“On June 28, 2020, and then again on July 3, 2020, Mark McCloskey and his wife, Patty, held off a violent mob through the exercise of their 2nd Amendment rights. Since then, they addressed the Republican National Convention, and have been frequent guests on Fox, Newsmax, OAN, CNN and a variety of national and local news and talk TV and radio programs. They campaigned extensively in support of President Trump and continue to speak around the nation on their support of the Constitution, the traditional values that have made the USA the greatest nation on earth, and the current threats to its continued existence.” ~ WEBSITE HERE
Excellent news!
This should be interesting. The democrats will have to throw untold millions at him and fake scandals. Since he was already a high profile target he has been already vetted.
If it wasn’t for rigged vote counting machines resulting in fraudulent elections the Senate and Congress would be full of “McCloskey’s.
Without election reform at state and local levels, it doesn’t matter who runs – I wish McCloskey the best.
You are so right Caddis. Missouri legislature failed miserably on election integrity bills this past session (ended 5/14).
I am confused by your comment. I live in Missouri. We must show a valid photo ID to vote. Voting by mail must be notarized, and early voting is available at actual polling places where all the same safeguards are in place as they are on election day. If the entire country operated with the same procedures as are in place in Missouri, President Trump would still be waking up in the White House, there would have been no gasoline lines, there would not be a war in the Middle East, and the inflationary spiral we are currently experiencing would be minimized.
Surely you don’t mean that a Public Notary had to sign and record each and every mail in ballot? What do you mean “notarized” voting by mail? Careful. Words have meanings.
Yes, that is exactly what I mean.
I am in a grass roots group who after the last stolen election took it on our own to track the Election Integrity bills before the Missouri House and Senate. We worked our tails off calling legislators and attending committee hearings in Jeff City. Yes, disappointed. Very.
Here are some of the bills we were tracking and not a one of them made it to a final vote: HB 333 – initiative petitions, HB334 – voter id, HB 26 – closed primaries, HB 842 & SB 378 – paper ballot, HB 920 – election day changes, SJR 5- tax votes held in Nov (instead of April (!)), and HB 738. HB 738 is a good one to look up. https://house.mo.gov/default.aspx (select the Legislation tab).
I would assume you would want rules for voting to be shored up. That’s what I want.
There is always room for improvement and I commend you for working so hard to accomplish an even stronger system than we have now. Yet I stand by my statement. Trump would still be President if all States had the voting system we currently enjoy in Missouri.
They say every good conservative starts with a mugged liberal….still not so trusting however as both of them are late middle age and long time Dimm supporters
When this initially went down I kinda spat at the McCloskeys being trial lawyers. But that’s in the past and it takes a lot for some to see the light. If he can use his power and influence to affect change then that’s a good thing.
I am sure they have seen the worst side of the law being used against innocent people. Have a feeling he will be a good addition to the Rep party.
I think those D RATS that see the light and switch over to the Republican party are actually more effective.
He said in the interview he has never been a Democrat.
The leftardism sets like concrete in the minds of some. Let’s hope everything they’ve been through, at the hands of Democrats and Democrat leftardology, broke that concrete up enough so common sense could get through. Maybe the light bulb switched on.
When Tucker referred to him as a former Democrat , McCloskey replied that he has always been a Republican.
reports at the time of the incident were that both had made significant contributions to DIMM candidates in the past…that normally means $1500 to preferred candidates and other money to Dimm favored causes…..you can claim to be an R but if your FINANCIAL support favors the Leftys are you REALLY an R?
If you are are trial lawyer you are going to donate to both candidates to hedge your position, regardless of party.
It’s business and it’s the smart move.
President Trump did exactly that.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if Mark had contributed to Kim Gardner’s campaign?
Yes. A lot of folks took that reporting last year as factual I am assuming because he is a trial lawyer.
So up to his appearance on Tucker last night, literally no one from the media stopped to actually ask him about his political affiliation or verify it from voter registration.
In Missouri, no party affiliation is asked or recorded when registering to vote.
Missouri has open primaries. That bill to close the primaries sadly didn’t make it this session.
He said he has always been a republican
If true, then Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, Minneapolis, Detroit, et.al. would all be full of conservative Republicans
The rigged elections where the Democrats, deep-state, and China decide who gets to win is a PROBLEM!
That’s why 0bama and S0R0S, being forward thinking, put the vote fraud machines in place…
Tucker supported the McCloskeys out of the gate. Good to see it’s a two way street. DeSantis also benefits from appearances on Tucker. Hope the rest of the GOP candidates follow suit.
Although I admire him for standing up for his rights, I will vote for Greitens.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/missouri-republicans-move-to-block-greitens-in-key-senate-race/ar-BB1gJHSt It looks like the state Republicans don’t want Greitens to win. I’m suspicious of McCloskey’s announcement in light of the attempt to change the rules.
I agree JR. Greitens is a true conservative, most of the others a Republicans. Treehouse people know what that means. Tuckers support is meaningless to me now after his failure to recognize voter fraud when it hit him square in the face.
Spot on.
The definition of a conservative is “a liberal who has been mugged.”
‘Woke’ Dem McCloskey is now fully awake.
All it took was having his irons in the fire!
See post above… it wasn’t “All it took”…. He wasn’t a “woke Dem” …. Facts matter.
Make that “below”…
Reading the article and/or listening to what’s stated in the video is one of Sundance’s principal requests in the Rules/Guidelines for Posting linked at the top of every page.
It is frequently apparent why SD lists that near the top of those guidelines.
Why was it reported at the time of the incident that he was a Democrat donor? I distinctly recall that.
However, it may have been a business convenience.
Citizen Trump contributed to Dems at times; held a fundraiser or two. I suppose one would have to here and there in NYC in order to do business.
(I can’t listen to videos, GB. I’m nearly deaf. The mute button on my ‘puter has been on since it came out of the box so I don’t hear annoying, vague sounds. The voice-to-text cc drives me crazy with all the odd interpretations. I pretty much skip videos, though I have struggled through a few here.)
But the observation still stands, even if it doesn’t apply to McCloskey. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, i.e., faces reality.
I’m not so sure an awakened Dem is a fully awake citizen, beyond the 2A issue…
Great that they have had a dose of reality but their MAGA creds need more definition and verification to me.
Too many born again “Tea Party” turncoats like Paul Ryan –
once they have your money and/or your vote, you’ve been had.
Yes exactly.
Did he vote for Trump in 2016? Or Clinton?
No, not “Yes exactly”…. it is actually “No exactly”…. Facts matter.
He was never a Democrat… Said so (again) tonight on Tucker’s show. So he was never a ‘Woke’ Dem… Facts matter.
No one in Missouri has been stronger in support of President Trump then Eric Greitens – which is exactly why he was targeted by the corrupt St. Louis District Attorney.
Greitens knows exactly what a dirty game politics is.
Greitens is the man to replace Blunt.
Yes, as a Missouri resident, I support Greitens. He was taken down by the Republican establishment here.
Greitens is better – I’ve listened to him several times on the war room.
So in that race there is one verified MAGA and one who could well be good MAGA but we don’t know for sure.
MAGA people need to turn out in droves to decide it if the primary is open, and if eection integrity hasn’t made any real headway in the state – yet.
Anything could happen once the Arizona domino falls.
We’ve seen these videos over and over again. They are stark. Just think for a moment about what we’re seeing. Mark and his wife were obviously not expecting this to happen. Nonetheless, suddenly a mob breaks down a locked gate and enters their property. Put yourself in their position. The videos show them standing on their front porch. Both are armed and obviously prepared to defend their property. But they are also armed and prepared to defend themselves. The police ain’t comon’ . . . and that angry, threatening mod is right there.
Fortunately, they were armed and did a good job of defending themselves. But what if they hadn’t been armed? What if all they could do was get of their phone and call for police who were not going to show up. That mob was kept a from their house by two armed property owners. If they hadn’t been armed and if the mob and been able to enter their house we’d be seeing a smoking ruin of property they’d worked hard to build.
That’s what we all face.
Never, never, never give up your arms or let them register them. Even if you have to hide one. If you are at the point you must hide one you are already close to the end. As soon as they are reasonably sure you are unarmed they won’t send the military or the cops into your suburbs or rural communities they will send in mobs like that and they will be armed. Their goal will be to herd you into safe zones (anything but safe) in metro areas and kill the rest. Look at all the genocides of the last century and they all go down like that. People around you start turning their guns in it’s time to head to the hills with yours and be willing to die on the way.
I am already in the “hills”. LOL and I have also been “under” many of them. Nonetheless, I am not registering or turning in anything to these insane Communist elite globalist. Like it has been said many times throughout our history, it is better to die on your feet defending liberty and the constitution than to live on your knees at the feet of tyrants.
I’m not sure what I did to win McCloskey’s attention, but I get 6-10 fund raising emails from him every day. He probably bought a bunch of donor lists from a number of sources, and wasn’t sharp enough to deduplicate addresses before batch sends.
Kind of early to tell what kind of politician he would be, but I suspect his experience would suggest our Constitutional rights are worth defending and he would do it.
Unlike so many in the DC bubble.
Nothing like paid commie ghetto thugs banging down your gate to get you interested in politics.
Yep. There’s was quite a dose of reality. Until this happened, he was a successful attorney in St. Louis living his life and thinking things were normal. When suddenly—they weren’t normal at all. That’s suddenly a wakeup call. Because of his experience alone, I think I’d vote for him. There’s nothing like looking into the eyes of a red-eyed mod to reorient your sense of reality.
First test passed. Tucker with the best producers made him out a Democrat for the story. Mark wasn’t having any of it.
Truth is truth, damn the narrative.
Glad that McCloskey said outright he was never a Democrat. The smear of McCloskey being a Dem was started early and taken up by the grifting Twatter-types. A quick search on the FEC individual donations page reveals that McCloskey has been a Republican donor since at least the 90s.
Sad to see Treepers get sucked into the fake news and regurgitating it throughout the comments.
https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/how-to-research-public-records/individual-contributions/
I remember reading he supported a Left type agenda in his law practice. Also remember some BLM support.
Maybe that was false reporting as well.
I remember it, too. It was reported here, or shared in the comments. He made a statement which was pro-BLM, or denouncing systemic racism, or some such. Might have been through his attorney.
Not enough time for me to search it before work, but perhaps somebody already knows where to find it.
I think most of us recall reading last year that mccloskey was a Democrat donor and supporter. No argument with that.
I guess it would be informative to learn which journalists wrote that and how they determined it.
I mean, is McCloskey trying to masquerade as a Republican to foil Greitens?
McCloskey sounds genuine and his actions last year weren’t those of a BLM supporter, for sure.
It’s an interesting situation that needs to be confirmed for voters at the very least.
It was one incident, “action” — not “actions” last year.
Actually, it is actions after the incident, I realize now. He is said to have campaigned extensively for President Trump.
A lot of people here are not actually America First Treepers; they are concern trolls, rolcons, and fake treepers intent on sowing fear and discord on these pages.
The leftists are terrified of TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA and are placing them here in ever increasing numbers now that our magnificent Treehouse has become so well-known.
One must apply a healthy dose of discernment to see them for whom they are.
Thanks for the reminder, Alleycats.
I have only one concern about your comment.
What is a “rolcon”?
A faker role playing as a Conservative. I’m not sure where the term was coined; I saw it here.
The number one priority of concerned citizens in every State should be legitimizing the election process so zero fraud takes place and your vote gets counted for the candidate you voted for. Hopefully more candidates like McCloskey step up so we can win it back and MAGA.
I don’t think he has a chance. Also I don’t trust him. Too much of SJW type. Would be Uniparty at best.
Funny, I’ve never seen a picture of Social Justice Warrior (SJW) types defending their home and property with a firearm against a mob?
Eric Greitens is the conservative candidate in this race. McCloskey was a Democrat and donated to many Democrat causes before the mob turned on him. He left not because he awoke on his own, but because his side turned on him rather viciously. I would be inclined to vote for Greitens in the primary and if I lived in Missouri. But, if McCloskey makes it through the primary, then him in the general over a Democrat.
See Race Realist’s comment earlier. McCloskey was not a Democrat.
He will be a far cry better than MEGA RINO/UNIParty Member Roy Blunt, who has never done anything for this country, let along his constituents. He sat on his arse and did nothing before the election and after the election to stop the use of known fraudulent machines being used in our elections.
Roy was one of the stars of the Kill Chain movie. He knows exactly how bad these machines and their evil purveyors are, but that is probably the only way he and Clair McCaskill ever got Selected in the 1st place. Good riddance to both. He cannot be gone soon enough for our country.
Dont know him much but based on his desire to protect his wife, property, neighborhood and promote our former POTUS he appears to be my kind of cat. May his wisdom and bravery take him far.
I don’t know either candidate as I’m not from Missouri, but I believe we’ll know by who the likes of the RINO leadership prefers and supports.
You can also listen to Greitens on war room – he makes many appearances there and probably will soon again given this development.
He has always impressed me mightily. Not a politician type at all, and very smart (well, I guess I just repeated myself).
Verify before you Trust.
Wonderful news But aren’t we forgetting and so soon at that.
We don’t have a way to vote for for him.
Nobody at this site is forgetting it, in my estimation.
However, we are simply smart enough to walk (plan for future elections) and chew gum (fight to get our voting rights back) simultaneously.
One never precludes the other. And it’s getting tiresome with so many “concern posts” constantly stating the obvious.
GO for Mr McCloskey’s,
Reminds me of a joke from my childhood in NYC.
Q: What’s the definition of conservative?
A: A liberal who’s just been mugged.
McCloskey should be a formidable candidate.
Aside from poor firearm handling skills ( get some training) Im all for Mark running- because it horrifies Lucifers Children. Anyway its not my call- its up to the voters of that state.
You can donate to whichever one you decide is best for MAGA. It’s definitely a race to watch and get involved in.
My question would be, have the charges against him and his wife been dropped? If so, he may be his own man. If not, he may be an “owned” man. I don’t know Gretchen’s. If McCloskey is owned, this could be wat is required for them to drop charges. “Split the vote, damage Greitens, and we’ll think about dropping charges.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/missouri-republicans-move-to-block-greitens-in-key-senate-race/ar-BB1gJHSt The Missouri Republicans don’t want Greitens to win. So I think you’re on to something.
Sorry, spell check. I don’t know Greitens. I hope Greitens knows what his name “corrects” to.
This is very astute! Requires more information!!
I feel that is also the purpose of his Senate run.
The Rino crowd are scared of Greitens. They are gonna try and split the vote in an open primary. So you know what will happen? Missoni will wind up with another liberal wack job like they had before.
This is a Rino move to take out Greitens is all
Right now, there is a 11/1 trial date for Mark.
Best of luck in your race Mr. McCloskey. The left must be terrified – ‘Goggle’ refuses to list McCloskey’s website even when the search terms is ‘Mark McCloskey Senate Website’.
I’ve been living in Missouri for 30 years so the ‘show me’ has rubbed off on me. I’m going to wait and watch. And(!) I’m not a Greitens fan so don’t go assuming.
Sorry, but the Show ME state has had some of the worst senators one could imagine. How the hell long did that last bi__ch serve?
Boy howdy TL, you are right! I sure didn’t vote for ‘her’. I even voted for Aiken…that’s how ‘LOTE’ I had to go. haha
Actually, he may have made a good senator if he hadn’t said what he said…who knows.
Outstanding job Sir! As Rutger Hauer said famously in Blade Runner, “That’s the spirit!”
McCloskey transformation:
Waiting for RealPresidentTrump to endorse.
Contributing. He needs a boatload of Patriots — particularly out-of-state — Patriots on his donor list.
We need to make ourselves heard – loud and clear. It’s our only revenge.
Be a warrior not a whiner. Keep fighting.
Mccloskey is a democrat. No trust. No confidence. No thanks
I wish Mark McCloskey Good Luck, in his Senate bid AND his political persecution, scheduled for 11/1.
Kim Gardner, the Soros-backed Activist/Prosecutor who charged the McCloskey, is facing her OWN legal woes. She is currently under review for unethical practices, and MAY lose her license to practice law.
Aside from that, she’s raised the ire of everyone other than the REAL criminals who she refuses to prosecute.
Anyone who is paying attention should TAKE NOTE:
If George Soros is among a candidate’s campaign donors, RUN to the polls and vote AGAINST them!
This woman is destroying St Louis, much like Marilyn Mosby has wrecked Baltimore.
And now they’ll drag the case out even longer for maximum smear potential in the PsyOp media.
Mark McCloskey is another Lawyer…..Sorry I’ll pass….We don’t need more Lawyers in Congress or any Government position in general…Politician Lawyers overwhelmingly are destroying our Republic.. Almost half of Congress are Lawyers…..Surely, there’s another candidate that isn’t a lawyer…Maybe, a business owner, an electrician, a Plumber, a nurse, doctor etc….Anybody but another Lawyer….
Eric Greitens. I believe he is a veteran but can’t remember for sure.
Yes he is a veteran
Another lawyer wanting to get in on pig trough in DC.
DC has enough crooked lawyers there already.
I support Eric Greitens. They tried every illegal trick to bring him down and the Rino crowd in Missouri helped that crooked DA.
I am happy he has seen the light. But lawyers are real good at parsing words.
We do not need anymore crooks in DC speaking out of both sides of their mouths.
I would like to ask him, Why not run for AG of Missouri? He could make a difference there as a lawyer.
What does it tell you about Tucker pushing his support for McClosky?
What does it tell you about him NOT supporting Greitens who supports President Donald Trump?
What does it tell about Tucker NOT supporting the guy the GOPE are trying to stop?
Tells me Tucker is pure Rino also.
Tells me he kisses Paul Ryan’s butt, and his woke bosses at Fox news, who were in on a Fraudulent Election.
Thanks for pointing that out Wallflower.
This is how you fight back.
What do we know of McClosky BEFORE this incident. Gonna be honest, from my first viewing of them holding crowd at bay, I thought something was off with they way they held the guns and moved them around. Seemed staged.
We make even enemies our instant hero if get our cause press. I am not saying this couple is the enemy. Just want to know about them before this event.
Now, the gun-toting man runs and if someone runs that has a MAGA documented history, they most likely will not get elected.
Seems the overall consensus is McClosky is 2A and a conservative because of this incident.
Elite Progs have guns, too, in the manner of, “Not for Thee, But for Me.”
This is an sffort to take away support from Greitens so a RINO can win a divided primary IMO.
Yeah, this seems suspicious. The RINO branch of the Uniparty has to posture as pro 2A… or else. It’s one thing that destroys a candidate, so might they be hanging a faux lantern on this guy’s candidacy, based upon that alone? Yes, they are that vile. We know this. I’d go slow with this guy. We were once all in for Sasse in Nebraska, remember? First name guy with a little “R” after his name, and we and Real Clear Politics jumped all over him. Our enemies thrive when we do that stuff.
Not sure about the guns. Believe I read that her gun was a non-functioning stage prop. His, there was something odd there, too. No ammo or something.
You go guy!
Count this Show Me State Voter out. #1 I believe he is a P.I. Lawyer (sorry Treepr Lawyers). #2 His loyalties are highly questionable MAGA wise. Worst of all #3 He goes to a gun fight looking like that?
Another (former) liberal got mugged.
Mark McCloskey outlines his platform on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’
Mark is being interviewed on OAN right now.
