Jennings later posted on Facebook saying she was also angry about him signing a bill that cut funding to Planned Parenthood

He replied that he'd created 'a million jobs' but Jennings dismissed this

A woman launched into a passionate verbal attack on Governor Rick Scott in a Florida Starbucks Tuesday, branding him an 'asshole' for his cuts to Medicaid.

A witness filmed the scene play out as the woman, identified as activist Cara Jennings, gave Scott an earful while he tried to order coffee.

Jennings told Scott: 'You cut Medicaid, so I couldn't get Obamacare. You're an a**hole.

'You don't care about working people. You should be ashamed to show your face around here.'

Scott responded by saying that he had created a million jobs.

But Jennings, who was sat facing the counter with her laptop, shot back: 'A million jobs? Great, who here has a great job?'

The stunned coffee shop remained silent as Scott replied: 'You should, there are plenty out there.'

But Jennings continued: 'You stripped women of public access to healthcare.

'Shame on you Rick Scott, we depend on those services.'

Scott walked out of the shop in downtown Gainesville without a coffee, while Jennings continued to hurl abuse at him: 'Rich people like you don't know what to do when poor people like us need health services.

'Shame on you Rick Scott, you're an embarrassment to our state.'

Scott had come to Gainesville to tour the new headquarters and factory of the biopharmaceutical company Nanotherapeutics, according to the Gainsville Sun.

Jennings posted about the incident on her Facebook hours later: 'I am upset about the awful bill Governor Scott signed last week - cuts funding to Planned Parenthood and restricts abortion access.

'Just last night I looked online to see if there is a march planned to defend our rights to abortion. And then today, the Governor walked into the coffee shop I was at.....and left with no coffee.'

The 39-year-old stay-at-home-mum held office in Lake Worth for two terms between 2006 and 2010 and has touted herself as an 'anarchist' in the past, said the Sun.

She told ABC Action News: 'I didn't think about whether I should do it or not.

'I thought: "Here's my chance to tell the governor how I feel about the horrible bill".'

The bill to defund Planned Parenthood and require abortion doctors to meet certain health and safety standards was passed by The Florida Senate last month and was signed by Gov, Scott last week, according to Life News.com.

Jennings was applauded on social media, with hundreds congratulating her on the 'well-deserved' take down

Jennings added that as a Lake Worth mom who works part time, she knows that many people finding jobs receive low wages and that is why she dismissed Scott's comment about 'creating a million jobs'.

She said that while fellow customers fell silent as the video was filmed, several came up to her at the end and thanked her for speaking up.

Jennings was also applauded on social media, with hundreds congratulating her on the 'well-deserved' take down.

One commented: 'Beautiful! Much-needed confrontation and glad you did it. So sick of these destructive tyrants running so many states.'

While another said: 'I was just disappointed that the people in the shop didn't start applauding when you finished! Oh - and that no one else spoke up with you.

'It was so powerful to hear your words, but imagine how incredible it would've been if others had joined in!

'That was a truly incredible exchange. Thank you for being the voice for all of us!'
