DescriptionFlorida Gov. Rick Scott (R) told hundreds of Florida A&M University students marching at the governor's mansion, protesting his decision to call for the suspension of the president of the state's largest historically black college Thursday that he came "from public housing."

The Florida Courier reported that a student asked a question about educational funding. Scott began, "I come from public housing," to which one student replied, "Not all of us are poor!" The crowd did not allow him to finish.
