Pennsylvania Halloween parade float depicting Harris sparks outrage and condemnation

A Halloween parade in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, sparked outrage after a float appeared to depict Vice President Kamala Harris tied to a golf cart, with a man in a Donald Trump mask. The float included men dressed as Secret Service agents and a sniper. Local officials, including Mayor Diane Bailey, condemned the display, calling it appalling and likening it to a lynching.
