Student Behind Controversial “Go Back” Remark Shocks Nation with Unexpected Revelation and Bold Action
Derek Torstenson responded to the student’s apology while addressing a controversy of his own in an interview
Speaking to the Daily Mail on Wednesday, October 21, Torstenson said he was not satisfied with the student’s apology, arguing that she should have been expelled despite her decision to drop the course.
However, Torstenson himself has faced criticism over his conduct during the confrontation.
He was accused of insulting the student at the scene, allegedly calling her and two men who supported her “fat, white trash weirdos” who hate Americans.
He was also seen waving a fan bearing the word “c*nt,” prompting speculation that he may have directed the vulgar slur at the student.
The activist denied the assumption, telling the outlet, “I never made any threats.”
He claimed the pictures of him holding the fan were taken hours before his encounter with the student and explained that he used it as a “joke.”
“When I bring the fan out, it’s as a joke. I meant it as ‘See you next Tuesday,’” he said.
Torstenson has been protesting for liberal causes since 2016, and this wasn’t the first time he drew attention for his conduct at a demonstration.
He hurled profanities at an event organizer a few months back
In August, Torstenson allegedly clashed with protesters over transgender participation in women’s sports outside a Minnesota Lynx game.
According to Racket, he shouted expletives at attendees.
An event organizer at the scene reportedly attempted to move him along, but he allegedly responded, “No, not leaving b**ch. Wanna get arrested, b**ch.”

Torstenson was also seen using his infamous fan at this event.
Before that, he displayed it when posing behind Savannah Hernandez, a Turning Point USA reporter, before a fight broke out at the Whipple Federal Building last April.
“The wrath of the internet always gets them,” a netizen said about the girl’s apology and action
