Parade float causes controversy (figures of Obama, Hillary caged in jail, Trump standing outside)
KSFY ^ | 6/21/2019 | Ryan Martin

The celebration of Highmore's 50th annual Settler's Day was a success.

"It's just a wonderful time to get together and come back home," said Vikki Day, the Mayor of Highmore.

But one parade float did get people talking.

"I had to think about it with the mask of Obama, coming out as racist," said Jeff Damer, the creator of the controversial float.

The float portrays former President Barack Obama in a cage with Hillary Clinton, while current President Donald Trump stands on the outside.

"I just wanted to put it out there, it was just my view that I feel that they should be charged, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton," said Damer.

Damer's float has stirred up a lot of talk on social media. Highmore Mayor Vikki Day says city officials have received a lot of messages from people who think she shouldn't have allowed the float.

"My stance, and the city's stance is that every person has a right to the first amendment, to express his or her speech, and the expressions of it, we do not regulate that," said Day.

Amen, Mayor. And you likely save taxpayers from a costly lawsuit. Brava!

“I don’t see how depicting two deserving criminals in jail is racist. I guess it’s also sexist.”

Very sexist!

Actually, anything that disagrees with the most extreme Democrat position is simultaneously racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic.

Contrarily, no matter how actually racist, sexist, or anti-Semitic a Democrat is in reality, they are not racist, sexist, or anti-Semitic.

For example, wanting to kill all the Jews in Israel is not anti-Semitic if you are a Democrat.

Similarly, saying Justice Thomas is a moronic Uncle Tom who is only fit for picking cotton is not racist, if you are a Democrat.

It’s part of the new “woke” vocabulary of selective outrage.

It’s only *controversial* when the left doesn’t like it.

Hanging and burning politicians in effigy is as American as apple pie.

Jailing effigies? Looks like we are getting soft.
