Kazanjian said the resolution to pass Trump began with his resolution last week to convene an “emergency convention telephone meeting” with all bankrupt and statute presidents and the board of directors.
“I explained what’s going on not just in Florida, but across the country: ‘Hey, you know what, we get beat up. We’re getting used to it as a punching bag and we’ve had enough and President Donald Trump has been there for us. He supported us.”

Kazanjian’s comments came here after a Florida county union rescinded his approval of a Democratic candidate for the state legislature, following public statements calling for police demilitarization and wondering whether patrol officers were driving unmarked cars.
The Palm Beach County Police Charity Association, which has about 5,000 members, former attorney Michael Weinstein became criminal counsel michael weinstein in his attempt for a position in the House of Representatives in early July.
But after Weinstein completed a questionnaire with the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, which was published on June 26, the union replaced his mind, Kazanjian told Fox News.
“When Michael Weinstein came to the Palm Beach County PBA to seek our approval, he told us he supported and respected the police and police in general,” Kazanjian said in a statement. “He never expressed the view that the police were militarized, that unmarked police cars aroused mistrust, nor did he ask for more civil review committees, which he then told the Sun-Sentinel to get his approval. If we had known that he supported these radical adjustments in the police, which we strongly oppose, we would never have supported him.
Kazanjian said that after expressing his support for Trump, his colleagues supported him “unanimously” in a vote. Kazanjian said the vote “had a lot of weight.”

“I won a move to approve President Donald Trump for this 2020 presidential election,” he said.
Kazanjian went on to say: “Not just the 30,000 votes that the Florida members gave us. Don’t retreat our friends and families. I think in the last round, we also put the president in the most sensible position and guess what.” Let’s come into effect this time to put the president in the wisest.”
Kazanjian would meet with Trump to deliver the letter of approval later Friday at the White House.
“I’m proud to do it.”
