A shocking video making the rounds on social media shows what appears to be a female athlete from Florida State University harassing a Jewish student and even grabbing at him physically.
The video was quickly noticed by administrators at the school and members of the Trump administration. To say that the female student is in a bit of trouble is an understatement.

She approaches the man who is wearing an Israel Defense Forces shirt as he’s filming her and begins yelling.”[Expletive] Israel, free Palestine,” the student says as she appears to bump the man or bat the phone away. “Put it on [expletive] Barstool FSU, I really don’t give a [expletive]. You’re an ignorant [expletive] son of a [expletive].”It was not clear what occurred or what was said before the 8-second video was filmed.The group, Stop Anti-Semitism, flagged FSU President Richard McCullough on the social media post saying the “assault warrants immediate expulsion.”

The school must have seen the writing on the wall, because they responded quickly.
