Here is the one hundred seventy-ninth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winners are rabid, racist Republican Ammosexuals, Mark and Patricia McCloskey. They are so honored for pointing loaded weapons at peaceful BLM demonstrators, who weren’t even on their property!
Personal-injury attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey entered the national spotlight like the ultimate expression of white privilege, waving their weapons toward peaceful protesters whose crime was walking down a sidewalk. Republicans immediately tried to make the pair heroes of the Second Amendment, valiantly defending their home by pointing the weapons in the face of Americans who had the audacity to not be rich and white.
So it will probably come as a relief to everyone that they turn out to be jackasses of the first water. Mark McCloskey isn’t just the kind of raging a-hole who is hated by all of his neighbors, he’s not just a guy who has sued his own sister and his own father, he’s also a guy who did this: He destroyed bee hives on a neighbor’s property and left behind a note not only admitting that he did it, but threatening to sue if they didn’t clean up the mess promptly. That neighbor was a Jewish synagogue which had planned to use the honey for Rosh Hashanah. “The children were crying in school,” said Rabbi Susan Talve. “It was part of our curriculum.”
Congratulations, Republicans. These are your new heroes. And they’re perfect.
As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch outlines, the McCloskeys have a “long history of not backing down.” Which in this case means they are unbelievably—unbelievably—awful. If their moment in the national spotlight made them seem like a postcard advertising the very worst America has to offer, prepare to be amazed. They’re worse than you think… [emphasis added]

I bet they would have left the bee hives alone had the honey not been for Jewish children. Click through for even more reasons these vile Republicans deserve a parade.
Like all rabid Republican Ammosexuals, they also lie like hell!
Couple aims firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters
Nothing that racist Republican said was true. Not one of the BLM protestors did anything to threaten him, his wife, or his property in any way. In typical Republican fashion, they acted out of hate, not out of the grievance they falsely claim.
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Boy….I would think that their first job is threatening folks with weapons. Extremely sick & dangerous.
The second would be suing folks, with them having no business to do so…and tying up the courts.
That could be a full time job.
Seems like it’s their business in doing just that. ugh.
Talk about having them for neighbors. WOW!
I have read that they are hugely, even bigly, litigious people. But, do we really know that those weapons were loaded? In any case, trump holes of the first degree.
Brandishing and pointing them at people is still against the law, loaded or not, as they should have known, with their degrees. Or maybe they did know and thought their white skin would protect them.
Even sticking your finger out while in a coat pocket to make it look like a gun, & telling your victim it’s a gun, counts as armed assault.
I learned that after I was mugged once decades ago.
To carry a weapon that was not loaded would be against the Republican Ammosexual creed. They just don’t do it!
And to think they are also both graduates of kaw school. (I would say “lawyers,” as the news articles have been saying, but even though this is anewish incident, it feels like it’s been long enough for disbarment proceedings to start.)
Pure idiots. Remember seeing them on the Nightly news over a week ago when the protests were going on.
Pointing their guns at the protesters who weren’t doing a damn think to them, just passing by their home.
Glad that their guns were taken away from them. We will see what charges/punishments they face.
Hopefully they will be enough to teach these types of gun waving idiots a lesson.
The McCloskeys also maintain that they donated to Democrats and had no problem with the BLM protests as such. Snopes checked it out and found:
What’s True
Over the past 20 years, Mark McCloskey has made political contributions to both Democratic and Republican political campaigns. Between 2004 and 2012, FEC records show he donated to Democratic candidates, and more recently McCloskey has donated to a few Democrats on the local level.
What’s False
However, the majority of McCloskey’s political donations since 2012 have gone to Republicans, including many contributions to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Opportunistic DINOs at best, but now deserving of a place in the Parade.
It must have been horrifying for the protesters walking past but when I first saw this I thought it was a joke because they looked so stupid and clumsy. Now I realize that clumsiness may have caused havoc if those weapons were really loaded.
You can peruse their political donation history by just entering their last name & Zip Code (63108) here:
https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
I came up w/ 68 donations. Seems like most of the Democratic ones (Act Blue) were made by a Liz from that Zip Code. Maybe it’s their daughter or someone else in that exclusive Zip Code. But they themselves were almost exclusively GOP donors.
I am curious what the $8.75 donation to the RNC by Patricia on 2/15/2018 was for.
Definitely not enough to cover a cap. A bumpersticker, maybe?
Assholes like the McCloskeys pose a far greater threat to the right to keep and bear arms than any number of “gun grabbers.” Keep up the good work, you slimetards!
Thanks and tired Hugs to all!
Hi, all! Thanks for the FEC link, So I Need, very interesting, tho had to see ’bout those gun wavers again, LOL! I’m perusing my very GOP zip code & there are very few donors to GOP——many, small donors to Act Blue & Biden campaign! Take heart, all. Gonna be a blue tsunami wiping out lots of traitorous, enabling grifters! We have a dream! TC, pls be good for Wendy’s friend. I limping tomcat wandered onto my porch a few wekks ago, now he’s neutered! Vaccinated, also! Be safe.
