Donna Dewitt, the outgoing president of the South Carolina AFL-CIO, is seen in this video bashing a piñata of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's face while Dewitt and her colleagues were at a retreat in Columbia, S.C. Saturday afternoon.

 

"Well I will say, she looks like a tough old girl here," the woman says as she gears up to swing at the piñata.

 

She repeatedly hits the piñata, which bears the phrase "Unions are not needed, wanted or welcome in South Carolina" below Haley's face. Dewitt whacks the piñata down and continues to wail away at it once it's fallen. Onlookers cheer her on, urging her to continue hitting the piñata.

 

"Give her another whack. Whack her again," a woman screams.

 

"Hit her again" another man says.

 

Dewitt told ABC News she has no regrets about incident and said there was "no ill intent" in what she was doing. Dewitt said her colleagues brought the pinata and were using it as a "memoir" of Haley's words and actions towards unions in her time as governor.

 

 

 

The national office of the AFL-CIO has expressed their concern yes deep Concern about this regrettable but understandable incident.
