Johnny the Walrus wins float contest, judge goes crazy.

A Controversial Float Wins First ⁤Place at⁢ Local ‌Parade in ⁢Alaska

A ‍float⁤ that appears to take inspiration from “Johnny⁣ The⁢ Walrus,” a book written by Daily‌ Wire host⁣ and ⁢children’s ⁢author Matt ⁤Walsh,‍ won first place at a local parade in Alaska. However, the victory‍ was met with‌ shock ​and outrage from ‍one of⁣ the judges.

The Golden Day Festival and‍ the‍ Political Float Competition

The competition took place⁢ as part⁢ of the Golden Day festival ‍in‌ Fairbanks,⁤ Alaska,⁢ which⁣ is known for hosting ​the largest parade in the state. Local school ‍board‍ candidate Michael ⁤Humphrey ‌entered a giant inflatable Walrus ⁣into the ‍parade’s⁣ political float competition.⁢ The float ⁤featured a ​campaign sticker‍ and the ​name⁢ “Johnny” prominently displayed on the front.

After the‍ decision was ‍made, ‍one of the judges ‌took to social media to express their dismay.

“So it⁣ turns​ out‍ that​ the ​best political float was ‌an ​anti-trans float. The judges⁣ had ⁢no⁣ idea. We had two ⁢floats ‌to⁣ choose ⁣from for political. You ‍know what I hate? Hateful people,” the judge tweeted. “We both feel ​sick⁤ about⁤ it ‌and ​especially⁣ on how it ⁣reflects on ​our community to those who don’t know that the ‌judges DID NOT HAVE ⁣CONTEXT.”

The⁤ Controversial Book⁤ and the Backlash

The ‍book “Johnny The Walrus” tells ​the​ story of a ⁢young ⁣man who imagines himself as a ⁤walrus⁢ and ‍faces​ pressure to​ medically transition ⁤by ‍”the⁣ internet people.” Published⁢ in 2022, ​the book‌ quickly⁤ became a bestseller in ⁢Amazon’s LGBTQ Books category, sparking controversy.

Humphrey, a marine ‌veteran, self-described conservative Christian, and‍ father ⁤of six,⁤ has⁢ made promises⁣ on his campaign page to protect‍ children from radical⁣ gender ideology and increase parental involvement in schools.

However, the ‍float’s victory at the parade led to calls ​for people ​to oppose⁢ Humphrey’s candidacy.

“Please help get the ⁢word out about this disgusting candidate and ‍ensure‌ he does not ⁤get‌ elected,” demanded one anonymous Facebook user. ‌”He ‍is running against incumbent⁣ Tim Doran.”

Matt ​Walsh’s Response

Upon ‌learning about the controversy, Matt Walsh expressed⁢ his⁤ satisfaction.

“This is⁢ awesome,” ⁢he⁤ tweeted.

This is awesome.⁢ A school ⁢board candidate in Fairbanks ⁤won ⁣first‌ place in a‌ local parade for‌ his Johnny the Walrus float.⁣ The judges ‌were libs who only⁤ realized after the⁣ fact that the‌ float ⁣was based on my children’s ​book, which caused massive meltdowns
