A California college is facing criticism after a viral video surfaced that appears to show a group of students hitting a piñata bearing the likeness of President Donald Trump. The undated video, posted by Libs of TikTok, depicts a blindfolded individual being spun in circles before they are handed a stick to hit the piñata while surrounded by a group of onlookers at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, California. The individual then strikes the piñata — which was photographed wearing a blue suit, red baseball cap and holding a sign that reads "F--- ICE" — and takes its head clean off.

The incident appears to be overseen by Lorena Gonzalez, a counselor at the college, who appears to celebrate in the clip, according to Libs of TikTok. In a statement to Libs of TikTok, Contra Costa College asserted they do not "condone or allow violent political rhetoric," and added the incident was "addressed as a personnel matter." Contra Costa College and Gonzalez did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
