Last summer, the George Floyd riots didn’t just bring death and damage to the city of St. Louis, it made Mark and Patricia McCloskey famous. The Epoch Times was able to sit down with Mr. McCloskey and go over his journey into politics.

He opened up a bit more about what happened after he and his wife brandished their guns at their home when a mob of activists trespassed into their gated community on June 28, 2020. “They came back the following Friday on July the third with the specific intent of killing us and burning down our house. That was the more difficult of the 2 events. That didn’t make the press because the optics weren’t good for the peaceful protesters narrative.”
