At one point, a little blonde girl was seen cocking back her arm, ready to launch a pink balloon filled with water.

Around 400 were handed out along the parade route by volunteers.

Kyle Julin, the driver, told Carroll's Daily Times Herald only one group of people booed the float.

'Even the police and everybody was positive about it, especially on social media,' he said. '

'We couldn't get pictures with some people because of where they work and their political agendas.

'But, only one group booed us. My consensus from that was 99 percent to 1 percent liked it.'

Democratic officials in the area thought it was inappropriate.

Tim Tracy of rural Carroll, chairman of the Carroll County Democratic Central Committee, told The Ohama World-Herald: 'It is not appropriate to be handing water balloons to little children and inviting them to throw them at such a display.

'I'm sure there are some that wondered: "Why is that lady in a cage? Why are they being mean? Why are they throwing water balloons at her?"

After the procession, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the fire department, they then uploaded action shots of people throwing the balloons from the side of the street.

Craig Williams, chairman of the Carroll County Republicans, told the newspaper his organization had nothing to do with the float.

'I probably wouldn't have done that myself, but I can certainly understand some frustrations from people over all the illegal things (Clinton) has done,' Williams said.

'I don't feel it was offensive to women. It could have been anybody in there anyone who got away with what she did.'
