An incoming college wrestler lost his athletic scholarship after a viral video caught him using an anti-gay slur during a political rally.

Bronson Harmon, 18, showed up to counterprotest a June 30 “Keep Families Together” rally in Modesto, Calif., in response to President Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy, The San Luis Obispo Tribune News reported this week.

Activist Abdul Lasaing recorded a heated exchange between Harmon and anti-Trump protesters at the event.

“F--- you,” Harmon yells, adding a homophobic slur and giving the camera the middle finger.

8. Look at it this way, Mr. Harmon: Clearly you were going to attend a college that was not in line

with your values.

Now, you can attend one that is.

Ask them for a scholarship.

9. The Point is

He did not lose his scholarship because he was a Trump Supporter,
He lost it because he used a Homophobic Slur...,

He did so in public and it was recorded, He doesn't seem to understand what he did wrong.
I don't understand how using an anti-gay slur related to a "Keep Families Together" rally.

Just because he's a Trump supporter, it does not give him permission to throw that word around,
and he is mistaken if he thinks that.

He has a mental sickness and/or he's a closet case

I have read a few times about certain politicians who were the loudest against gay rights,
who we end up finding out were gay along.
