Trump supporter's float in Indiana parade depicts Hillary Clinton in an electric chairBy Emily Cahn October 04, 2016
Violent rhetoric against presidential candidates has become a disturbing trend in the 2016 campaign.
But one man in an Indiana town took that rhetoric a step further over the weekend, creating a parade float that depicted Hillary Clinton in an electric chair, with Donald Trump sitting beside her ready to flip the switch, a local Fox affiliate in the Hoosier State reported.
Also included on the float was a grim reaper and an "Easter Island style head statue with a handwritten sign saying 'Obama' attached to it," the Fox affiliate reported.

We'll see how funny these "jokes' are when they have real consequences...
If anything violent in the political world happens between now and the election (or in its immediate aftermath) I believe Donald J. Trump should be held criminally and civilly liable. There must be consequences to this kind of behavior and it must start at the top.

(25,577 posts)Because the parade organizers let the float be in the parade you all get to be called hate-filled idiots.
