Mayor Apologizes After Halloween Parade Depicts Kamala Harris Shackled To A Cart Driven By Man Dress As Trump During Parade

A Halloween parade that took place on Oct. 30 in Mt Pleasant, Pennsylvania, sparked controversy after participants portrayed Vice President Kamala Harris as being tied to a golf cart driven by a person dressed as former President Donald Trump.

Footage captured by Ashley Frailey shows a woman in a red suit walking slowly behind a golf cart. The cart is carrying a man dressed as Trump and one as a sniper, with a replica assault rifle mounted on the hood.

“The worst part of it was the fact that there was either a rope or a chain that was attached to the back of the vehicle and there was a woman who was to resemble Kamala Harris in handcuffs and chained to the back of the vehicle as though they were dragging her,” Mount Pleasant Mayor Diane Bailey, told WPXI-TV.

Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department apologized the next day “for allowing the offensive participants to take part in the Mount Pleasant Annual Halloween Parade.”

In a statement to WPXI, Bill Bretz, chair of the Westmoreland County Republican Committee, said, “We certainly don’t condone the simulation of political imprisonment or violence in any context, no matter the party affiliation of those involved.”
