Pennsylvania officials denounce Halloween float appearing to depict Harris tied to golf cart

Outrage has followed the release of a video from a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania that seemed to depict Kamala Harris tied to a golf cart carrying a man wearing a mask of Donald Trump.

Outrage has followed the release of a video from a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania that seemed to depict Vice President Kamala Harris tied to a golf cart carrying a man wearing a mask of former President Donald Trump.

The float moved along a main street in Mount Pleasant, a town of about 4,000 people located 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The event was hosted by the local volunteer fire department.

In the video, a woman wearing a red suit walks slowly — and apparently tied — behind the golf cart, which is also carrying two men dressed like Secret Service agents and a man dressed like a sniper. What appeared to be a replica of an assault rifle is affixed to the hood of the vehicle, which has a Trump sign on the front. 

Mount Pleasant Mayor Diane Bailey, a Democrat, told WPXI-TV, a local NBC affiliate, that she was “appalled” by the float and that it looked like “there was either a rope or a chain that was attached to the back of the vehicle.” Josh Huff, a man who attended the parade, said it looked like the float was “simulating a lynching.” 

Bailey did not return a request for comment from NBC News.
