Trump Retweets Video of White St. Louis Couple Waving Guns at Protesters

Donald Trump retweeted a video of a white couple waving firearms at protesters outside their home Sunday evening, just hours after he retweeted - and later deleted - a post highlighting a "white power" supporter

Trump offered no context Monday morning as he retweeted ABC News video of a married couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, seen touting an assault rifle and a handgun as demonstrators marched toward the St. Louis mayor Lyda Krewson's home. The protesters demanded Krewson's resignation Friday after she read the names and partial addresses of people who were calling for police reform during a Facebook live event.

Krewson later apologized for the incident, writing in a tweet that it was unintentional while she was "answering routine questions" during the Facebook live event.

"Never did I intend to harm anyone or cause distress," the mayor said.

He'll probably invite them over to the Whitehouse.

Following the Fox protocol. Spread some BS and then a quiet retraction on a back page or something.

Unfortunately that sick shit will have SS protection the test of his life. He could use a little violence against his person. I wonder what the SS agents think of that worthless POS.
