Small town Halloween parade stirs up controversy with political-themed float

A halloween-themed event in Mount Pleasant PA (a small-town southeast of Pittsburgh) turned into a source of public discourse yesterday. The towns yearly parade included an unexpected politically-charged display that made local officials issue a quick response

The controversial float featured a farm-type Kawasaki vehicle with someone wearing a Donald Trump mask at the wheel; while a person dressed as Vice President Kamala Harris was bound and pulled behind it (which many found deeply inappropriate). The setup also included prop-carrying individuals who pretended to be security personnel; walking alongside the slow-moving vehicle

The display appeared in the towns traditional parade route: causing immediate reactions from the roughly 4200 residents of this tight-knit community. Local leadership didnt waste time addressing the situation – they put out an apology right after learning about what happened at their family-oriented celebration

The float carried what looked like a mock weapon; while people dressed in dark suits walked beside it trying to look like government agents. This politically-charged scene unfolded as families lined the streets of this quiet pennsylvania community located just 25 miles from pittsburgh
