Is it just me or does his wife look exactly like a man with long hair?

I no longer think that someone has to be very intelligent to be a lawyer. The way a lot of lawyers behave and think is ridiculous and almost comical. Look how Brett Kavanagh behaved during his interrogation. Like a blubbering infant. Yet he is now on the Supreme Court. Unreal.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 yikes

Just what we don’t need.

Future President McCloskey ... you know how it is with the GOP being bigoted and a racist are the ultimate only requirements

Republicans are trash 🗑🙄

Again...... which one is Mark?

Yeah, because this stupid ass event certainly qualifies him. lol

A crook running for a crook position. Sounds about right 🤷‍♀️

The hicks will vote for him. He knows it.

These are pathetic times.

Are they not charged with brandishing?

That may as well happen.

Yeah they look a bit off.😑 I'd say pass.

Their face. ..they look really insane

So glad I'm not from that hillbilly hell hole.

When you go for ordinary jobs you usually can't get hired while you are charged with a felony. They usually tell you to reapply once the charges are dropped or something

😂😂😂😂😂

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy We call it 'riding the gravy train'

Do better, Missouri. Do better.

Hahahahahaha 😝😂🤭 He’s sure to win! Idiot!!

He’s got my vote!!!!

Grift.

Stop the hate dang

Misery

With the way things are going, that jackass will probably win...esp. in Missouri.

What clowns🤡

And then Republicans wonder why minority voters lean toward Democrats.

This is probably his campaign poster. And the scary part is ppl would vote for this.

And what makes him qualified Here we go again with ppl running who have absolutely no experience in government and probably can't even speel Constitution

lol joke country

Yeah he’s assured a spot because in the gop all you have to do is to say or do something stupid, and not care about the country laws or the constitution.

His primary platform being that he is rich, racist, white and owns weapons. He’ll win for sure 😞

It’s fast becoming Grifters old party

Yeah all we need is more racist bigots in government positions

THEY BOTH SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL

Republicans are a magnet for loonies. Carlin, Guiliani jr, McCloskey. What is their slogan: “yes we did win the elections?”

Good for him

Good!

Hope he wins

They spazn frfr! The kool-aid must be extra sweet!!

Oh, hell no

Anybody who votes for this fool,would have to be insane.

Good

The end is getting closer by the day

Why would anyone vote for an impetuous and impulsive person?

Beware of the new brand of Republicans. 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.' Voltaire Assault on our nation's Capitol was Republicans. Irrefutable. Driven by Republicans on the hill. Carried out by misguided Republicans.

Missouri should just become a part of Alabama.

Cowboys with kids'brains !

W

We need to get Democratic voters to come out so garbage like this never gets into office.

Old saying 'like nation like rulers/leaders'

And of course Missouri will elect him because, “he showed up the libs.”

LOL. Only in America. 😂🤣😂🤣

Slam dunk

There was practically no difference between him and a young, hungry John Rambo. Good hunting, Stud.

😡🤢🤢

Because of course he did.

Let's just everybody run.

Good for him!

🤡 The GQP clown show continues GQPTraitorsToDemocracy GOPTraitors GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPBetrayedAmerica

He’s not conservative enough to be a Republican

Pathetic

It looks that now every idiot can run for Senate....

such an honorable, classy couple. just look at them. 😑 so very american. overweight. reactionary. ammosexual. racist. and running for office

That'll be a shoo-in.

hultmark_mark The only thing worse than this, would be is a nut bag like this winning. Missouri, please see that this stops ASAP You are smarter than this.

Do not vote this Trumpster into office

Hahahaha

He will probably win too. Shameful!

What a joke

Gotta love when they unbutton the top button... not for sex appeal (🤢)... but rather to show off their shiny hypocrisy badge.

Beware of the new brand of Republicans. 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.' Voltaire Assault on our nation's Capitol was Republicans. Irrefutable. Driven by Republicans on the hill. Carried out by misguided Republicans.

They should be in jail not running for the Senate! Unpatriotic gun monger

Seems like a good fit with Hawley and the rest of the GQP.

Are you fucking kidding me!? The republican party is a joke

Of course he did.

I really don't understand this country for real. 🤦🏾‍♂️
