The float, which was sponsored by the Valparaiso Republican Party, was part of the 40th Popcorn Festival in Porter County on Saturday, the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. It features two buildings resembling the fallen Twin Towers billowing with smoke, just as they did on that day before collapsing onto the ground below. Nearly 3,000 people died.

As the float is pulled along by a truck, a man’s voice can be heard reacting incredulously to the display.

“A little fucked up,” he says. “What the–? Are you–? What are you on?”

As the parade attendees start applauding, another man says, “Oh no. Everyone’s gotta clap.”
