Gay Pride Parade in Providence, RI Features Float With RAINBOW GUILLOTINE and Other Violent Imagery Aimed at City’s Gay Mayor (VIDEO)

Screencap of YouTube video.

A float in the Providence, Rhode Island gay pride parade featured a rainbow-colored guillotine, as well as a steamroller covered with blood, chasing an effigy of the city’s gay Mayor Brett Smiley.

The makers of the float are going after Smiley for not being far left enough for their liking.

This is not unlike what happened to gay state senator Scott Weiner in California this week. The left has begun going after their own as traitors to the revolution.

This is the same city where leftists claimed that a mural of murdered legal immigrant Iryna Zarutska was too divisive for the community. Smiley sided with the left.

From WPRI News in Providence:

RI Pride to ‘strengthen’ parade rules after float depicts violence against Providence mayor

Rhode Island Pride says it will be “strengthening” its parade entry requirements after a float in last weekend’s Illuminated Night Parade depicted violence against Mayor Brett Smiley.

The organization’s president, Rodney Davis, told 12 News that the nonprofit was conducting its own review of the matter to determine what was presented, what details were provided during registration, and “whether any material information was omitted that would have affected the approval process.”

Photos of the float posted on social media showed what appeared to be a representation of Smiley hanging in front of a bloody steamroller, while the back of the float featured what looked to be a rainbow-colored guillotine. The float had a logo for the Providence Worker’s Defense.

“Rhode Island Pride has always recognized that Pride is rooted in protest, advocacy, visibility, and the right of community members to raise concerns about public issues,” Davis said. “At the same time, we want to be clear that any entry or display that depicts or suggests violence is not consistent with the standards of our event and will not be permitted.”

Here’s an image of the bloody steamroller with the effigy of Smiley.

These are the people who call Trump supporters Nazis.

The video report below features comments from the makers of the float.

This is going to get worse before it gets better.
