The St. Louis owner who confronted protesters with a rifle believes Trump intervened to protect his community.
Missouri attorney Mark McCloskey, who along with his wife Patricia brandished legally owned firearms when they confronted Black Lives Matter protesters at their St. Louis home last month, told “Hannity” on Monday. He believes President Trump quietly intervened when protesters returned to his neighborhood for the second time on July 3.
“The second night the people came and the cops were there … I had a source on the ground and I couldn’t confirm it, maybe you can,” host Sean Hannity told McCloskey. “Is it true that President Trump sent people to defend his neighborhood and nobody knew it?”
“That is the information we have,” replied McCloskey. “I think we got help from the top. That night, we had cooperation, I think, from the federal government, the state government, the local police department. That night they all stood up as champions, but it came from top to bottom.”
“I cannot express my appreciation enough for everyone involved,” he added.
McCloskey joined “Hannity” after he told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that “the rumor is that” he and his wife “will be charged soon” for the June 28 incident that received national attention.
McCloskey said Tuesday that he and his wife “did nothing wrong” in protecting their home and promised that they will not be “intimidated” by authorities who subject them to an investigation. Click for more
