Students protest Sasse during University of Florida forums, Sasse defends their free speech rights

The political world was shaken up in Nebraska and in Washington D.C. last week after news that U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, Republican from Nebraska, is expected to resign and take the job as president of the University of Florida. Monday, he was on campus in Gainesville for his public job interview. As Sasse took questions from students during a Monday afternoon forum, a large student-led protest appeared to break out outside the room. The livestream easily picked up the chants of “hey, hey, ho, ho, Ben Sasse has got to go.” (Q&A video courtesy of University of Florida)
