Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple caught on video pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home in June, endorsed President Trump as the law-and-order candidate Monday at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

“You’ve seen us on your TV screens and Twitter feeds. You know that we’re not the kind of people who back down,” said Mark McCloskey. “Thankfully, neither is Donald Trump.

“President Trump will defend the God-given right of every American to protect their homes and their families.”

“These radicals are not content with marching in the streets,” said Mark McCloskey. “They want to walk the halls of Congress. They want to take over. They want power. This is [Democratic nominee] Joe Biden’s party. These are the people who will be in charge of your future and the future of your children.”

Patricia McCloskey echoed the sentiment.

“Make no mistake, no matter where you live, your family will not be safe in the radical Democrats’ America,” she said.

She's right...

I didn’t see the McKloskys, but OANN didn’t seem to be doing that.

I was really impress with most of the speakers tonight especially the Cuban-American speaker who said,

“When I watch the news in Seattle and Chicago and Portland, when I see history being rewritten, when I hear the promises—I hear echoes of a former life I never wanted to hear again. I see shadows I thought I had outrun,” Álvarez continued. “I heard the promises of Fidel Castro. And I can never forget all those who grew up around me, who looked like me, who suffered and starved and died because they believed those empty promises. They swallowed the communist poison pill.”

She was particularly effective at telling suburban soccer moms they had something to worry about from BLM/Klantifa. I think the Republicans should have highlighted this speech much more....ie they should have put the McClosky’s and Herschel Walker in prime time along with Tim Scott and gotten rid of Nikki Haley.

Good. I expected them to do well. They are both lawyers, professional public speakers. The perfect sort of person to articulate their experience without letting emotion overwhelm the cold logic of what they did.

Indeed Hannity is becoming g impossible to watch, he constantly interrupts or talks over those we really need to hear... we had to switch to PBS and C-SPAN just to be able to hear the speakers.. geesh

If enough people stop watching him, his show will fail.

It’s that simple.

NY Post or FR headline writer. Stop calling the McCluskey’s “gun wielding” people. It makes them sound like the perps, not defenders of their own home.

You can use “gun-showing”, “gun-bearing”, “gun-holding” instead.

No one called the criminal trespassers “sign-wielding”, “stick or steel pole wielding” trespassers, etc.

It wasn’t just Hannity doing the interrupting. Tucker did same and said he would show some of the rnc. Switch to CSPAN or Youtube. No commercials. No commentary.
