On Friday, Missouri Governor Mike Parsons pardoned racist ambulance chasers Mark and Patricia McCloskey, aka the “St Louis gun couple” who became MAGA folk heroes for their angry threats to shoot a bunch of Black Lives Matter protestors who had been marching past their home on June 29th, 2020. The couple pleaded guilty to misdemeanor 4th degree assault and harassment charges on June 17th, 2021. Mark McCloskey’s campaign for the GOP nomination to replace retiring Republican Senator Roy Blunt, announced on May 18th, appears to be going nowhere fast.
