Mount Pleasant Halloween Parade Sparks Outrage Over Float Depicting Kamala Harris in Chains Led by Trump
Nov 1, 2024, 07:30 PM
An annual Halloween parade on Wednesday night in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, has sparked outrage after a float depicted Vice President Kamala Harris in chains being led by a golf cart driven by someone dressed as former President Donald Trump. The display, criticized as racist and hateful, showed a woman dressed as Harris with her hands tied, being pulled through the streets. Local leaders, including Representative McClinton and the borough's mayor, condemned the float, with the mayor calling it 'hateful' and 'unacceptable'. The mayor stated, 'This does not belong in this parade or in this town.' Organizers of the event are facing backlash for allowing the float, with many community members expressing that such a portrayal is vile and should not be tolerated. Some have described the float as 'simulating lynching', further heightening the outrage.
