A South Carolina voter lashed out at polling staff after he refused to remove his Trump hat while casting his vote.
The unnamed man, wearing a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ cap, was asked by workers inside Orangeburg County Library to take his hat outside due to state law.
Video captured of the altercation shows him erupting over the request, as he brands one of them ‘a f****** b****’.
Enraged, he then removes the cap in front of another woman and waves it in her face, telling her: ‘This is my motherf****** right’.
After telling him they couldn’t allow him to vote, they usher in the next person, much to the annoyance of the man who then removes the hat and throws it away.

He then appears to point his finger in the face of one of the workers who dramatically swats it away, as she jumps backwards saying: ‘Don’t do that’.
The man continues to approach her as other workers step in between the two of the, one of which can be heard shouting at him: ‘You are wrong’.
He continues to go after the woman who initially swatted his hand away, as workers plead: ‘Take him outside’.
Three women can be seen standing in his way, pushing him back as he continues to come for the woman.
Several workers can be seen attempting to usher him out of the room, as the video ends.
According to WIS10, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the fight.
Sources told the outlet that officers with the Orangeburg County Department of Public responded to the scene. It remains unclear if the man was arrested.
The phrase ‘Let’s go, Brandon’ has been used in recent years with the phrase going viral as a light-hearted code for ‘f*** Joe Biden.’

It has grown in usage among right-wing circles, with South Carolina Republican Jeff Duncan seen wearing it emblazoned on a face mask at the Capitol in 2021.
South Carolina law prohibits what people can wear to cast their vote. Voters are not allowed to wear anything that displays a political party, candidate or ballot issue.
It states: ‘The poll manager shall use every reasonable means to keep the area within five hundred feet of any such entrance clear of political literature and displays.
‘The county and municipal law enforcement officers, upon request of a poll manager, shall remove or cause to be removed any material within five hundred feet of any such entrance distributed or displayed in violation of this section.’
In a similar incident, a Texas man is facing a felony charge after he punched an elderly poll worker who asked him to remove his MAGA hat.
Jesse Lutzenberger allegedly lashed out at the 69-year-old man who had to be treated at the scene last Friday.
Lutzenberger had entered the polling location in a red ‘MAGA or TRUMP’ baseball cap, according to an arrest affidavit.

After being told he had to remove his cap in the voting area, Lutzenberger did and proceeded to cast a ballot.
He then put the cap back on before leaving, followed by the clerk again telling him remove the hat while inside the building.

It comes after DailyMail.com’s final poll before election day showing Trump has now overtaken Harris.
The former president now holds a three-point lead over the current Vice President, with Trump picking up support from independents and undecided voters.
New data, which has margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows that Trump is trending up, with the support of 49 percent to Harris’ 46 percent.
With five days to go, the numbers mean Trump is currently on course to become the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote.
Most Americans are feeling a lot of emotions heading into Election Day, but excitement is not one of them.
A new poll from The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that about 7 in 10 Americans report feeling anxious or frustrated about the 2024 presidential campaign, and a similar share say they’re interested.
Only about one-third say they feel excited.
For partisans, anxiety is dialed a little higher. About 8 in 10 Democrats say anxious describes how they are feeling now, up slightly from around three-quarters in the last election. About two-thirds of Republicans are anxious, a moderate uptick from around 6 in 10 in 2020.
