A video of a nursing student screaming \u201cGo back to your own country, b**ch!\u201d is going viral on social media.<\/p>\n

The outburst took place at a Turning Point USA event featuring Riley Gaines on the University of Minnesota campus, when a University of Saint Thomas nursing student couldn\u2019t hold in her disgust.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n

This is Ava and she\u2019s a nursing student who was attending an event by Conservative Political activist Riley Gaines at the University of Minnesota campus &amp; she told a brown man there recording who was born in the U.S that he\u2019s a Bitch and needs to go back to his Country. \"\ud83e\udd2c\" https:\/\/t.co\/75OgPpMiKd<\/p>\n

The recipient of her wrath? A man identified by\u00a0The Daily Mail<\/a><\/em> as \u201cleftwing activist Derek Torstenson.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut other footage from the event unearthed by Alpha News<\/a> showed that Torstenson had been shouting at attendees and waving a sign that said \u2018C**T\u2019 before the woman made the comment,\u201d the article notes. \u201cTorstenson, who was adopted from Moscow and reportedly has a \u2018strong accent,\u2019 regularly frequents protests in the Twin Cities and is known for his expletive-filled confrontations, the outlet reported.\u201d<\/p>\n

The university was made aware of the video and has stated that they are looking into it but will not publicly identify the young woman in accordance with \u201cstudent privacy laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

X\u00a0 users had a variety of reactions, with some blaming the student, some blaming the leftwing protester, and others blaming President Donald Trump:<\/p>\n

\n

This is Trump\u2019s fault. He\u2019s brought out the worst, most hateful side of our young people. An ugly side that may have never surfaced, except for Trump\u2019s encouragement. I\u2019m ashamed this person is from Minnesota.<\/p>\n

How will she take care of patients of color as a nurse. She\u2019s heartless. She needs to be cleaning the streets and pick up trash since she mirrors it!<\/p>\n

She should be dismissed or suspended from the nursing program for behaving this way. She will be caring for patients of all races, and I wouldn\u2019t want her treating me if she already disliked me because of my race before even getting to know me.<\/p>\n

The protestor (Derek) was born in Russia (he evidently has said he was), adopted and raised in the US, and then he became very pro-abortion.<\/p>\n

I think if adoption had saved my life I would be pro-Life.<\/p>\n
