Orangeburg County Library workers asked the unnamed man, who was wearing a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ hat, to take his hat outside due to state law.
He can be seen taking off his cap and waving it in her face, telling her: “This is my son of a bitch, right?”
She appears to point her finger in the face of one of the workers, who dramatically pushes her away, while she jumps back saying, “Don’t do that.”
The man continues to approach her as other workers stand between the two, one of whom can be heard shouting: “You’re wrong.”
He continues to chase the woman who initially rejected his hand, as the workers plead with him, “Take him outside.”
Three women can be seen standing in his way, pushing him back as he continues to approach the woman.
Several workers can be seen trying to get him out of the room, as the video ends.

It comes after DailyMail.com’s final poll before Election Day showed Trump already ahead of Harris.
The former president now has a three-point lead over the incumbent vice president, with Trump gaining support from independents and undecided voters.
The new data, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows Trump trending upward, with support at 49 percent to Harris’ 46 percent.
With five days left, the numbers mean Trump is currently on track to become the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote.
Most Americans feel many emotions leading up to 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 percentage say they are interested.
Only about a third say they feel excited.
For the partisans, the anxiety is a little greater. About 8 in 10 Democrats say anxiety describes how they feel now, up slightly from about three-quarters in the last election. About two-thirds of Republicans are anxious, a moderate increase from about 6 in 10 in 2020.
