Original Note:
The man hit with a water balloon is not Mike Pence; it is Bruce Blakeman, the County Executive of Nassau County, New York. The parade shown is the Stewart Manor Fourth of July parade, where throwing water balloons is part of a tradition. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/water-balloons-help-make-a-splash-at-annual-stewart-manors-annual-4th-of-july-parade/
