A fight erupted at a South Carolina polling station after a man was told to remove his \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d hat by poll workers before voting, shocking footage shows.<\/p>\n

The man attempted to cast his vote at the old Orangeburg County Library on Wednesday while wearing a camo hat with the expression widely used as\u00a0shorthand for \u201cF\u2013k Joe Biden.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

He began cursing at poll workers who told him he had to take it off under South Carolina state law.<\/p>\n

Video\u00a0obtained by WIS-TV<\/a>\u00a0shows poll workers asking the man to take the cap \u201coutside\u201d before he begins cursing at them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou f\u2013cking bitch,\u201d he tells one woman, as the other workers tell him to calm down.<\/p>\n

\u201cShut the hell up and let me vote!\u201d he yells.<\/p>\n

Another female poll worker explains again that they cannot let him vote, and the man removes his hat and hurls it at the person next in line, the clip shows.<\/p>\n

The man points his finger in the woman\u2019s face and says something to her, who then begins to hit him.<\/p>\n

The poll workers separate the pair initially but the man swings his arms and breaks through and starts to go after the woman who hit him, who exits through a door, video shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake him outside!\u201d one poll worker repeatedly yells.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement is investigating in incident.Tina Ellison\/ Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Under South Carolina Law, voters are not permitted to wear anything that displays a political party, candidate name or ballot issue.<\/p>\n

Although the hat did not name the president \u2014 who is not up for reelection \u2014 the phrase has been common shorthand since 2021, when an\u00a0NBC reporter<\/a>\u00a0interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown thought chants of \u201cF\u2013k Joe Biden\u201d were \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d\u00a0the law states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division confirmed to the Post that it investigating the incident but declined to provide additional details.<\/p>\n
