A Trump-hating Karen was hit with 'instant karma' when she tried to snatch a MAGA hat from a stranger's head after branding him a 'racist.'
The woman fell flat on her face after chasing the man - who she didn't know - off the carriage and onto the subway platform at 28th St in Manhattan.
In video of the incident which has since gone viral, the straphanger accuses the man in the hat of being a 'racist' in a fiery shouting match surrounded by uncomfortable passengers.
'If you f**king voted for Trump you're a racist,' she says.
A watcher-on intervened, telling the woman that comments like hers are the reason Trump won the presidential election.
'That's why he won,' the man repeatedly says in the video, which was shared to Instagram. 'He won because of people like you.'
The woman then set her sights on the other commuter, telling him, 'you're okay with that? He's a racist.'
The man in the MAGA hat initially appears to take it in his stride, awkwardly laughing at the interaction and asking 'how am I a racist? What race would I be racist against?'

When the train arrived at 28th St, the MAGA passenger took off his cap and held it in his hand as he stepped out of the carriage.
At that exact moment, the woman lunged at him, making an apparent grab for the hat.
The duo appeared to tussle on the platform before the hat-wearer set off on foot, prompting the woman to chase him.
As she again lunged for the hat, the man slipped out of her grip once again and she face planted firmly onto the filthy subway platform.
A second man who was with the first man followed quickly behind, stopping as he reached the woman to seemingly take a photo of her face as she squirmed to get off the ground and get back to her feet.
The person who filmed the interaction told the New York Post: 'She was definitely aggressive... that young man was trying to stand his ground.
'But there were other people in the car who were defending the young man with their opinions as well.'
In sharing the video on his Instagram, the man wrote: 'She went too far… and karma came FAST.'

The extraordinary video sparked a mass pile-on on social media, mocking the woman who got 'instant karma' for her aggression
The extraordinary video sparked a mass pile-on on social media, mocking the woman who got 'instant karma' for her aggression.
'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,' one said.
'Another white lady yelling at a brown person for having opinions that go against her high horse morality,' another added.
A third commentator said: 'Bully gets what's coming to her' while another said 'the fall of the Democrats begins.'
