Remember the McCloskeys, the St. Louis couple who were charges after pointing guns at protestors streaming by their house last June?  Well, the story continues to develop with threats from thousands of people to kill them days after they gained notoriety.

Or at least, so says the husband, St. Louis ambulance chaser and personal injury attorney Mark McCloskey, who is mulling a run for the US Senate, according to a speech he gave at a Jackson County Republican event Saturday night, reports the Kansas City Star.

McCloskey’s version of the story has now morphed from he and his wife waving on a stream of a few hundred demonstrators against police violence walking by their house as he brandished an assault rifle and his wife pointed a daintier handgun.  Now, McCloskey claims, a former client of his who, he claims, is a leader of the “Antifa organization” Expect St. Louis called him to tell him the couple was going to be targeted by Antifa terrorists who were going to murder them and burn down their McMansion. 

“We have a client of ours who was a brainwashed member of this Antifa organization called Expect US St. Louis, headed by none other than Cori Bush. And our client, who was inside that organization, called up and said that what we did was unforgivable, they were coming back on July 3rd and they were going to have to kill us and burn down our house,” he said.

This prompted him to call up Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson to ask for security to surround their house.  But still, on July 3rd, the mob came.  “The mob came, and there were thousands of them this time and they were dead set on killing us.”

The only problem:  it never happened.  “Bullshit,” is how St. Louis State Representative Rasheen Aldridge, a leader of Expect US, the umbrella group of Expect St. Louis, describes the claim.

An AP account of the July 3rd event describes a few hundred people stopping at the entrance to the McCloskeys’ gated community and chanting BLM slogans.  No one was arrested, and no threats were made.  Police reported no arrests, as the people stopped for just 15 minutes before continuing their march down Kingshighway Boulevard.

Protest organizer Cory Bush, now a member of Congress, is shown on video addressing the crowd through a bullhorn.

“We had no desire to touch anyone’s home, look at your home, anything like that,” Bush said.  “It was not a field trip to your street. We were going to Lyda Krewson’s home. The other thing is we are not peaceful — true — but we are non-violent. We aren’t coming to tear up your stuff. We just want freedom.”
