No shocker here: the circuit attorney from St Louis who pressed felony charges against a peaceful couple who defended their own home against an angry mob had her campaign funded by billionaire George Soros.
In case you're unaware, the now infamous armed couple from St Louis, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, have been charged with a felony for the crime of standing on their own property with firearms they legally purchased.
The charges came courtesy of Kimberly M. Gardner, the Circuit Attorney (chief prosecutor) for the City of St. Louis, Missouri.
The married couple were each charged with one count of unlawful use of a weapon. The weapons charge is a class D felony, and they face anywhere from one to four years in prison and fines of up to $5,000 if convicted.
The McCloskeys drew their weapons on June 28 outside their home as protesters marched through their gated neighborhood (after forcibly taking down the gate) to demand the resignation of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson. The couple claims that the protesters were threatening to kill them and take over their property.
Funny thing about Kim: she's an elected official and her 2016 campaign was funded by billionaire George Soros, a foreign business mogul with a history of supporting far-left political candidates in big cities.
In 2016 Gardner's campaign accepted $190,750.73 from 'Super PACs' funded by billionaire George Soros.
Joe Steiger, president of the St Louis police union, told St Louis Today he believes Soros also funded out-of-state activists to escalate protests into riots in Ferguson in 2014.
Of course all of this nonsense about pressing charges against the couple is nothing more than hot air because Missouri Governor Mike Parson has already publicly declared he's likely to pardon the couple if they're convicted.
