VIDEO: Rick Scott ducks out back door at campaign event besieged by red tide protesters

Gov. Rick Scott received a rough reception Monday at a campaign event in Venice.

A big crowd of protesters came out to criticize the governor's environmental record as red tide lingers off the coast.

Scott went in the backdoor at Mojo's Real Cuban to try and aviod the protesters and departed from the backdoor while the crowd shouted "coward" and other criticisms. Here's a video of Scott exiting the event.
