Star high school wrestler Bronson Harmon lost his athletic scholarship to attend California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) after he was caught on video holding up pro-President Trump signs and screaming an anti-gay slur at a political rally.
The 18-year-old showed up to counter-protest a June 30 Keep Families Together rally in Modesto, Calif. with his father, in response to President Trumps zero-tolerance immigration policy that separated thousands of migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, the San Luis Obispo Tribune News reported this week.
Activist Abdul Lasaing recorded a heated exchanges between Harmon and anti-Trump protesters attending the event.
I heard a group of men shouting and trying to scare us by saying #sendthemback and even yelled at someone n****r, recounted Lansing.
Lansing added: I was so choked so I automatically pulled out my phone to record and see who was being so disrespectful.
Fu-k you, fa-got, Harmon yells, while giving the camera the middle finger.
Harmons father, Todd, was with him at the protest and can be heard yelling send their asses back.
The video posted to Facebook and has been viewed more than 48,000 times as of Friday.
Todd Harmon told reporters that Cal Poly had revoked his sons athletic scholarship.
The schools communications specialist, Cynthia Lambert, confirmed that Harmon will no longer be on the schools wrestling team.
