'Lying African' Obama float driver: 'I'm a patriot'
Don Christy doesn't care what you think about his parade float. To him, the words "Lying African" in front of a depiction of President Barack Obama was funny.
Many, however, are questioning the town officials, police and organizers who allowed the 73-year-old Christy to drive the display in Monday's Fourth of July parade in Sheridan, a rural community of 2,900 in northern Hamilton County, north of Indianapolis.
"I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican," Christy told IndyStar. "I'm a patriot."
Christy wore a prison jumpsuit and a blond wig while driving a golf cart in the parade. The cart's roof displayed signs in support of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. On the front was the head of a stuffed animal with a sign reading "African Lion." On the back, a doll with an Obama mask was propped in a toilet with a sign reading "Lying African."
