Here is the one hundred seventy-ninth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winners are rabid, racist Republican Ammosexuals, Mark and Patricia McCloskey. They are so honored for pointing loaded weapons at peaceful BLM demonstrators, who weren’t even on their property!
Personal-injury attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey entered the national spotlight like the ultimate expression of white privilege, waving their weapons toward peaceful protesters whose crime was walking down a sidewalk. Republicans immediately tried to make the pair heroes of the Second Amendment, valiantly defending their home by pointing the weapons in the face of Americans who had the audacity to not be rich and white.
So it will probably come as a relief to everyone that they turn out to be jackasses of the first water. Mark McCloskey isn’t just the kind of raging a-hole who is hated by all of his neighbors, he’s not just a guy who has sued his own sister and his own father, he’s also a guy who did this: He destroyed bee hives on a neighbor’s property and left behind a note not only admitting that he did it, but threatening to sue if they didn’t clean up the mess promptly. That neighbor was a Jewish synagogue which had planned to use the honey for Rosh Hashanah. “The children were crying in school,” said Rabbi Susan Talve. “It was part of our curriculum.”
Congratulations, Republicans. These are your new heroes. And they’re perfect.
As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch outlines, the McCloskeys have a “long history of not backing down.” Which in this case means they are unbelievably—unbelievably—awful. If their moment in the national spotlight made them seem like a postcard advertising the very worst America has to offer, prepare to be amazed. They’re worse than you think… [emphasis added]

I bet they would have left the bee hives alone had the honey not been for Jewish children. Click through for even more reasons these vile Republicans deserve a parade.
Like all rabid Republican Ammosexuals, they also lie like hell!

Nothing that racist Republican said was true. Not one of the BLM protestors did anything to threaten him, his wife, or his property in any way. In typical Republican fashion, they acted out of hate, not out of the grievance they falsely claim.
RESIST!!
