That Gun-Toting St. Louis Lawyer Is Now Considering A Run For Senate–Because Of Course He Is

That Gun-Toting St. Louis Lawyer Is Now Considering A Run For Senate–Because Of Course He Is

Mark McCloskey, the St. Louis lawyer who became infamous online after brandishing an assault weapon at passing protesters during the summer, is back in the news after announcing he's considering a run for Senate.

Embraced by the Republican party as a hero, McCloskey was invited to speak during the Republican Convention.


During an interview on Tuesday, April 20, McClosky confirmed his thoughts, saying:

"I can confirm that it's a consideration, yes."





Twitter was pretty terrified by the idea of a Senator McCloskey.




After their gun-wielding incident, the McCloskeys became minor conservative celebrities.



McCloskey also recently spoke at a Missouri Republican donor event alongside two politicians gunning for the state's opening Senate seat, Governor Eric Greitens and Attorney General Eric Schmitt.

It's unclear whether the blessing of former President Donald Trump will be enough to turn the personal injury lawyer into a Senator.


If one is looking to become a politician, it seems all it takes to become a viable candidate in the Republican party is the willingness to openly threaten unarmed protesters.

The city of St. Louis, Missouri filed charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey for unlawful use of a weapon—a class E felony, with a possible maximum sentence of four years in prison and a fine of $10,000.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
