Video of a woman's rant against a Spanish speaking couple is going viral.

NBC Los Angeles reports the video was originally posted to Facebook nearly a week ago.  Since then, it's been viewed, shared and re-posted millions of times.

According to the report, the was recorded at an IHOP restaurant in L.A.'s Koreatown community last week.

A woman standing in line is seen yelling at a Spanish family for not speaking English.  She tells them that they need to speak English because they are in America.

The young man with the camera tells NBC4 that he began recording the woman with his cellphone and confronted her about her remarks.  The woman was yelling at his parents.  He calmly tells the woman that she doesn't need to act that way, but she only gets more irate.

Eventually, the young man's mother speaks up and informs the woman that she can speak English, but not as well as her native tongue.

The woman says the family should move back to Spain, before she begins ranting about fascism, the Nazis and Fidel Castro.

The confrontation descends into politics and the young man says he plans to vote "NO" for Donald Trump.
