Advisers to President Trump say that Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who became famous after brandishing their firearms at protesters and activists who trespassed on their private street, will speak at the Republican National Convention to offer their support for President Trump, according to The Washington Post.
After the incident made national headlines, Mark McCloskey, who is an attorney (as is his wife), told KSDK News: “I went inside; I got a rifle … because as soon as I said ‘this is private property,’ those words enraged the crowd. Horde, an absolute horde came through the smashed-down gates, coming right at the house. … And then I stood out there, the only thing we said is, ‘This is private property, go back, private property, leave now.’ At that point, everybody got enraged, there were people wearing body armor.”
