Police Escort Richard Spencer Supporters from University of Florida Venue

A person described as a white nationalist was escorted from a University of Florida venue on October 19, through a crowd of protesters rallying against Richard Spencer.

These videos show the Spencer supporter being escorted by police as protesters chant and shout at the man.

University of Florida officials faced criticism for allowing Spencer to speak on campus, but officials said they were required to allow the speech – a private affair – because the university is a public entity. Spencer originally applied to speak on September 12, but university officials rejected his application, citing a security risk due to violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, two months earlier.

Earlier Thursday, other supporters were escorted by police amid protests following Spencer’s speech. Police were seen escorting Spencer’s supporters from the building as protesters chanted “Nazi scum” and other profanities. A large police presence, including state troopers, was on hand in case of escalation. Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency earlier this week for Spencer’s appearance, NPR reported.
