Mt. Pleasant Borough's mayor said the parade is sponsored by the volunteer fire department. 'We were observers,' she said, adding 'we were as shocked by it as anyone else would have been.”
A Halloween parade in Westmoreland County that took place Wednesday night is under fire after a golf cart bearing American flags and Donald Trump campaign signs had a person who appeared to be dressed as Vice President Kamala Harris walking in chains, according to multiple news outlets.
Several people wearing dark suits and sunglasses, like Secret Service agents, also surrounded the golf cart, multiple news outlets reported. Parade floats are first-come first-serve, a member of the fire department said, adding that they typically are present to provide public safety and traffic control. However, the statement said they will review their planning processes to avoid future incidents.“People are upset about this. And I think, too, we’re five days out from what is the most contentious election in a county that is not always at peace with itself. You know, we’ve seen political violence in this county,” McFall said.
“We are deeply disturbed by the inclusion of an offensive display in this year’s Mount Pleasant Halloween Parade. The depicted Vice President Kamala Harris, a Black woman, in chains, being led by a vehicle marked with former President Donald Trump’s name. This appalling portrayal goes beyond the realm of Halloween satire or free expression; it is a harmful symbol that evokes a painful history of violence, oppression, and racism that Black and Brown communities have long endured here in America.
