Gun-Brandishing Mark McCloskey Trounced in Missouri GOP Senate Primary

Eric Greitens wasn’t the only ardently pro-Trump candidate to lose in the hotly contested Missouri GOP Senate primary on Tuesday night. Mark McCloskey, the gun-brandishing lawyer who pointed his firearm at Black Lives Matter demonstrators in the summer of 2020, also lost. And McCloskey didn’t just lose, he was trounced, polling throughout the night at a measly 3 percent of the vote. After pointing a gun at activists, the budding MAGA icon spoke at the Republican National Convention in August 2020. McCloskey’s campaign didn’t immediately return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Tuesday night.

1. Will he demand a recount?

[TheBlackAdder]

2. I would. It's too close. 😜

.

Let me guess. 100 people voted and the 3% was his wife, himself and the family dog.

4. Eric Greitens Got Gone, Too.. along with the

Stupid 3 % McClosky ..

5. Lots of good news tonight.

6. He should run turd party

Siphon off a few R votes and waste some press time.

7. The damage was done.

Kyle Rittenhouse saw McClouskey being lauded as a hero, and it emboldened him to do what he did.

Actions have consequences.

8. A real 3 percenter.

9. Go home, Mark

to your ugly house and your ugly Karen wife. Nobody wants to hear from you again.

10. From his neighbors in STLMO (he lives just over in the Central West End from me, perhaps

several miles away), we wish that he would leave (and of course his pathetic wife). Turning their guns on fellow neighbors and such, who were simply exercising their rights to protest, and were just walking by their place on the way elsewhere. Who in the world pulls a gun out on neighbors, in broad daylight?

11. Being an irresponsible gun-nut is undoubtedly his biggest crime.

But next on the list has got to be wearing a pink polo shirt, and pizza-delivery khakis. Seriously? I thought this hammerhead was loaded, and he wears T.J. Maxx stuff?
