'I have my right to say things’: Parade driver defends depiction of Obama as 'lying African'

[kpete]

The man behind a Fourth of July parade entry that depicted President Obama as a "Lying African" ​in one of the last major parades during his presidency has defended the controversial float, saying it was meant to be taken in jest.

Seventy-three-year-old Don Christy wore an orange prison jumpsuit and a shaggy blond wig as he drove a golf cart displaying a campaign poster for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on Monday in the Independence Day parade in Sheridan, near Indianapolis.

The parade entry seemed to show an Obama effigy sitting on a toilet that read "Royal Flush."

"I apologize to anyone I offended, which would be a total liberal," Christy told the Indianapolis Star amid community outcry. "I have my right to say things. Isn't that what the Fourth of July's about? Freedom."
