A Pennsylvania town has nixed a local GOP group’s plan for a rally this week with Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who made headlines when they waved guns at protesters in June, citing cornavirus restrictions. The Northampton County Republican Committee sought to hold the rally featuring the McCloskeys on Thursday in Palmer Township's Fairview Park. But Palmer Township rejected the request on Friday, saying on its Facebook page that an anticipated crowd of more than 250 attendees would violate Gov. MCCLOSKEYS WARN VIOLENCE AND RIOTS WILL COME 'TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU'Last month, the McCloskeys addressed the Republican National Convention. “We never expected our open air gathering to exceed the arbitrary 250-person limit that the governor's edict pronounced,” it said.
