According to KCCI, some in attendance laughed at the float while Carroll County Democrat Chairman Tim Tracy said the display was sad.
Chants of “lock her up” in reference to Clinton are common at rallies of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Critics of Clinton believe the Democratic presidential nominee should be imprisoned for her roles, while secretary of state, in the email scandal and in the deaths of Americans during a terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
One of the float’s creators, Kyle Julin, told KCCI he wasn’t worried about offending people.
