For a third straight night people protested the results of the general election in Ybor City.

"We know that protesting isn't going to get him out, but we are going to give him a hard time about the poor decisions and choices he's made and the ones he's going to continue to make," Victoria Fostini said.

Marchers exercised their right to free speech Friday night.

"I think everybody in this world deserves equal rights and I think Hillary represents that," Adrian Agosto said.

One protestor, Jordan James, said he would have been okay had it been the other way around, if Hillary Clinton won and Donald Trump supporters decided to protest.

"I feel like that's amazing because that's the country that we live in and we have the opportunity to do that, (while) other countries don't have that," Jordan James said.

Some Trump supporters believe it is time to move on.

"The people spoke, you know, that's the bottom line," Don Clemenes said.

Supporters said people need to accept Donald Trump is the President-Elect.

"It's an election. It's over. I'm sorry you're not happy with the results, but like I said time for action. Get your crap together for the next election," Steve Liotine said.

Some said it is time to come together.

"I really liked that they all..Secretary Clinton, the president, and Mr. Trump all were talking about needing to get back and bring together unity," Clemenes said.
