Missouri Governor Says Trump May Intervene In Case Involving St. Louis Couple  July 16, 2020  Martin Walsh

Mark and Patricia McCloskey went viral in late June after they stood outside their home with guns while Black Lives Matter protesters came through their neighborhood.

Soon after pictures and videos of the Missouri couple went viral, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat, launched an investigation into the couple because they dared to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Republican Gov. Mike Parson has revealed that President Donald Trump has not only asked him about the case, but the president has also suggested he may personally get involved to help the McCloskey family.
