TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - On Tuesday, a group of Florida State students rallied against presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
It was the third 'Dump the Trump' that students for a Democratic Society have held. Organizers asked fellow students to sign a petition for the removal of Joe Gruters, a member of the Florida State University Board of Trustees. Gruters currently serves as the co-chair of Donald Trump's Florida campaign for president.
A main theme of the rally was the notion that Donald Trump is a racist, and that anyone who supports him shouldn't represent a diverse university like Florida State.
Gruters says he will continue to support Trump, because he believes he wants the best for all Americans, "It's really important that we remember the president's number one job is to keep Americans safe. And that's what I believe Donald Trump will do when he's president. I do think he's going to win. I do appreciate the students trying to highlight this, but I will continue on as a member of the Board of Trustees at Florida State."
