THE family of an NHS worker filmed screaming “Nazi” at a Donald Trump supporter have saiid they’re ’embarrassed’ by her vile rant.
Siobhan Prigent was seen hurling abuse at a fan of the President in London during his first official state visit to the UK.
The 35-year-old protester was later unmasked as the owner of a company VLEK Ltd that provides clinical trial coordination at University College London Hospital.
Among Siobhan’s critics were her own aunt and uncle, who described her language on Tuesday as “unacceptable”.
‘DISGRACEFUL’
Paul Prigent, 74, described Siobhan as a “lovely girl” who used to spend school holidays with them. He said they hadn’t seen her for a number of years.
“We can only imagine she got in with the wrong crowd,’ Mr Prigent told the MailOnline, after seeing the outburst on TV.
“I think her conduct was disgraceful. I do not mind people protesting, but the language she used was totally unacceptable.”
Her aunt Janet Prigent added: “It is completely at odds with our own views.
I think her conduct was disgraceful. I do not mind people protesting, but the language she used was totally unacceptable.

“We were pleased the Trump visit appeared to go so well. She [Siobhan] was very aggressive and we are embarrassed.”
Siobhan, who has since closed her social media accounts, previously apologised for the confrontation during the protests, writing: “I am very sorry for my behaviour today. I should have protested peacefully & I didn’t, & I regret that.
“I’ve let myself down & I do understand that fully.
“There are two sides to every story, but my actions were my own, & that’s on me. Please leave my family & friends out of it.”
Siobhan has since quit her contract with the NHS after a petition garnered thousands of signatures for her to step down.
PROTESTS GONE SOUR
Siobhan was among a horde of protesters filmed chanting “Nazi scum” at a Trump supporter before soaking him with the milkshake shortly after Jeremy Corbyn gave a ranting speech in Trafalgar Square.
The POTUS fan who was covered in the milkshake by the Leftie mob has said he was there “protecting democracy” during the President’s state visit.
The man claimed he was peacefully debating with “moderate lefties” and “having a laugh with the majority of them” before he was surrounded.

Explaining his support for the President, the man said: “Because he’s done more than he said he was going to do for America.”
He added: “He’s true to his word when he said he wants to make America great again.”
It is not known exactly what happened to spark the flare-up, but he had reportedly been heard arguing with an anti-Trump protester about Parliament.
LECTURE ON PEACE
Earlier Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had told the crowd Mr Trump had created a “greater sense of hate and hatred that goes with it” before lecturing on “peace”.
Anti-Trump protesters also protested in Portsmouth this week, chanting “Nazi scum off our streets”.
In a further clash, a pro-Trump supporter filmed herself popping the giant blimp of the President before yelling “that’s a disgrace” at the protesters.
The woman is believed to be Amy Beth Dallamura – AKA Based Amy – a well-known blogger who has been pictured at Free Tommy Robinson demonstrations in support of the EDL founder.
The US President earlier slammed Mr Corbyn for being “negative” as he revealed he wanted to meet him after all.
He said: “He wanted to meet, today or tomorrow, I decided I would not do that.”
Last month Nigel Farage was left drenched in a milkshake, as he campaigned in Newcastle.
Chucking chilled drinks over political leaders has become the latest way to show dislike for policies or people, as shown by a spate of milkshaking in recent weeks.
