FILE - In this Jan. 19, 2020 file photo, Britain's Prince Andrew accompanies Queen Elizabeth II to attend a church service at St Mary the Virgin, in Hillington, England. A U.S. prosecutor overseeing the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation said Monday, Jan 27, 2020 that Britain's Prince Andrew has been uncooperative in the inquiry so far. Speaking at a news conference outside Epstein's New York mansion, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, said prosecutors and the FBI had contacted Prince Andrew's lawyers and asked to interview him.

One Mardi Gras float in particular has caused a bit of a stir on social media.

The float reportedly shows a ‘papier-mâché-Epstein’ in a prison jumpsuit with a woman that resembles Hillary Clinton, “appearing to strangle him from behind,” KTRH reports, adding, “The side of the float reads ‘Epstein didn’t kill himself.’”

One social media user also notes that “the float was followed by the ‘Swinging Epsteins,’ which consisted of a bunch of convicted ‘Jefferys’ walking down the street with nooses around their necks.”

I find it funny that Jeffery Epstein not killing himself is one of the very few issues all sides can agree on in this country. We just disagree on who probably killed him.

Although most people unfamiliar with Mardi Gras think of it as nothing but boob-flashing and drunkeness (well, they're probably right about the drunkeness), poking fun at shit that happened in the past year is an important tradition of Mardi Gras. Sometimes it pushes boundaries of taste, but well, that's the idea.

Gonna go out on a limb (with or without rope) and guess that "causing a stir" was the point.
