Cuomo to McCloskey: Let’s face it, you’re the image of white supremacy now
Hot Air ^ | July 1, 2020 | Ed Morrissey

Maybe Chris Cuomo should go back to interviewing his brother after all. On last night’s show, the CNN host interviewed Mark McCloskey, the man who drew his firearms when a Black Lives Matter protest allegedly knocked down his gate and threatened him and his family. McCloskey appeared with his attorney to discuss the incident, but Cuomo had other topics in mind — such as how self-defense in a mob action looks a little too politically uncorrect these days.

Cuomo then sorta-kinda accuses McCloskey of feeding into Donald Trump’s alleged white supremacism with video he didn’t take in the first place, and McCloskey finally had enough (via Townhall’s Beth Baumann):

allegedly knocked down his gate

Is CNN now saying the gate wasn't damaged? I've seen pictures of the broken gate on the Internet. Is CNN sating that's a hoax?

Black is white, up is down and good is evil.

People like the Cuomos won’t meet a good ending.

Fredo Cuomo needs to have his house raided by rioters and CNN needs to have their offices raided by rioters as well.

Targeting the victim is criminal.

I want him fired immediately for racist hate speech.

CNN needs to be blocked from the airwaves for it’s incitement to riot and it’s damage to civil order.

McCloskey used to be a nice liberal lawyer. I wonder if getting mugged by reality has made an impression.

Of course he is. The burden of proof defaults to him since he is white — the accusation is evidence of guilt — and the only way to prove he is not racist, the same way provided to those who were accused of being witches, is to allow himself to be burned out or murdered. Then everyone can relax, problem solved.

Protesters in the crowd of about 500 people, who passed by the McCloskeys’ residence on their way to St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson’s house nearby, have disputed accounts they were being violent or threatening.

One thing ignored in all of this. Back in 1995 two black thugs murdered Mayor Lyda Krewson’s husband in front of her and her two children. The McCloskeys were just reacting to past experience.

Talk about the desire for political power.

Considering McCloskey is a “Civil Rights” attorney - I wish he’d been asked who he supports in the upcoming election.

The invaders broke down his gate, entered his private property, armed, and said they were going to kill him, his wife, his dog and “live in his house.”

But,, according to the likes of idiot Cuomo, McCloskey is in the wrong.

Hope same is done to his family at his home so he can be called a White Supremacist for trying to defend his family and property.

Cuomo threw McCloskey so far under the bus, he went all the way to China to donate to the cause over there.

This incident needs to be vigorously defended. We are going to a scary place if you can’t bear your arms openly on your own property...

We don't need to ask, we know.

I have seen video of the start of the incident.

First, an agitator comes up to the gate, and uses what appears to be a bolt cutter to open it. It is pretty blurry image.

Then a lead agitator leads the mob in through the gate.

A some point, the gate is damaged, but exactly when is unclear.

There is a clear sign saying "private street".
