A parade float intended to be humorous triggered some locals in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, including Democratic Mayor Diane Bailey.
The controversial float debuted Wednesday evening at an annual Halloween parade, according to WPXI in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The display featured a golf cart with an impersonator of former President Donald Trump standing in the bed of the vehicle.
Its driver and two other occupants were dressed as Secret Service agents, while a prop sniper rifle rested atop the cart.
But it was the prisoner “chained” to the vehicle that sparked the outrage of some.
“The worst part of it was that there was either a rope or a chain 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,” Bailey said.
“This needs to stop,” she said. “In this county, we need to go back to being educated adults, we need to go back to acting like adults.”
