Woman falls on her face after trying to grab a MAGA hat from a man’s head on NYC subway train as (she gets instant karma) as the internet erupts amid divided opinion.
America is very very divided…. but you probably knew that….
An un-identified woman seen attempting to grab a man’s MAGA hat on a NYC subway train, all the while calling him a racist, and then giving chase along a Manhattan subway platform only to fall flat on her face has ignited the internet, with many decrying her behavior, with some even applauding her attempt to stamp out racism (this author can think of better approaches).
In now widely viral video, racking up over 4.5 million views (see below) the woman branded the hat-wearer a ‘racist’ aboard a No. 6 train entering the 28th Street station in Manhattan last week.

Unhinged woman trying to grab MAGA hat futile exercise trying to redeem America
‘If you f–king voted for Trump, you’re a racist. He’s a racist,’ the female straphanger said to another commuter while pointing at the red MAGA hat-wearing man shortly after 11:30 p.m. Wednesday on the northbound train.
Christopher Ngo, a retired Philadelphia cop-turned-life coach who recorded the clip, told the nypost of the incensed commuter, ‘She was pretty much angry about the hat and that young man was trying to stand his ground.
‘She was definitely aggressive.
‘But there were other people in the car who were defending the young man with their opinions as well,’ NGO said.
Some of the other straphangers urged the woman to leave the man alone, who seem unfazed by her repudiation while questionig how he could be considered a racist by virtue of just wearing the hat (which raises the interesting question what it’s in the power of suggestive symbolism?).
As the scene unfolds, a bystander begins arguing with the woman, telling her, ‘New York City has been run by Dems for the last decade and this is why things are the way they are,’ Ngo said.

The return of red MAGA hat and all that it symbolizes
Undaunted, the un-identified woman (how long will it be before her identity will be revealed and MAGA soldiers insist she too be fired as is often the penalty for being caught acting badly in public) continues to harass the MAGA fan, who continued to insist he wasn’t racist. While of course raising the obvious question, if anyone by their actions was being racist or at least stereo profiling, it was the un-witting and unhinged woman herself. But more to say that below.
As the woman now lurches towards the man in an attempt to remove his MAGA hat, the nimble man lifts his red cap off his head, before ducking out of the train’s open door after pulling into 28th station.
The pair appeared to briefly tussle before the man runs down the platform, only for the unrelenting woman now giving chase, her arms outstretched toward the hat.
Yes kids, if only she could attain the holy grail and remove that bastard red hat- she will have stamped out racism, discrimination, racial profiling, and all the other shitty things that have been happening under Trump’s watch since returning to power, including the shutting down of political free speech, the threat of deportation for wrong think along with the threat of one’s job being dismantled courtesy along with one’s own country illegally being throttled courtesy of Elon Musk’s shady DOGE club, goons who have been empowered by nationalistic and anti-immigrant rhetoric and many other troubling injustices defining a brave new America. But this author digresses.
Our flawed hero, seeking to put a stop to the new madness defining America (albeit in a horribly pathetic way) only made it a few steps before she fell face-first on the platform. The man’s friend appeared to lean down to mock her before he ran off, too.
‘Freedom of speech — everyone has their own opinions, but when it gets physical, that’s when it just goes too far,’ Ngo un-ironically told the nypost (who have been a rabid cheerleader of all things far right and Trump as part of the FOX and Rupert Murdoch uber conservative umbrella and skewed reporting).
The clip has since been reshared across numerous platforms, including X, where it gained momentum on conservative accounts. And of course liberal accounts too.
The clip has racked up millions of views, with most commenters cheering on the woman’s comeuppance for her bad behavior and her misinformed efforts to correct what poisons America and continues to divide Americans.
Of note, the incident was not reported to the NYPD. But of course, it’s only a matter of time when it gets reported to her employer and then the henchman will be called in to give her the internet town hall punishment which awaits offenders.
And then there were these sampling comments on the web that caught this author’s attention. See what you think?
‘This is a great example of brainwashing. A hat should not elicit a deeply emotional response. Step out of your echo chamber once in a while.’
‘Another white lady yelling at a brown person for having opinions that go against her high horse morality.’
‘We, Americans, have the privilege and freedom of having our own views, like them or not. She should be arrested for assault. Political parties do not matter.’
‘There are people who will support the female attacking the male and trying to get his hat and calling him a racist. I wish those people the same kind of life they want to inflict on others.’
‘The real hatred and violence come–not from the Right as the Left falsely claims–but from the Left. Who’s out vandalizing Teslas right now?’
