A video of a woman falling while trying to snatch a MAGA hat from a man in a subway has surfaced on social media. “Woman falls on her face after trying to grab a MAGA hat from a man’s head in New York. ‘He’s a racist!’ Instant karma,” an X user, Collin Rugg, wrote while sharing the video on X.
In the video, a woman in a subway allegedly calls a man “racist” for wearing a red MAGA hat. Soon, they engage in a war of words. As their argument continues, the train halts at a station.
The man disembarks, and the woman follows, trying to take his hat but failing. She chases him on the platform to try to snatch the headgear but instead falls flat on her face. Though the video is going viral on social media, HT.com cannot independently verify it.
