In the video, Testanero is seen wagging her finger at the man, shouting, “If you f**king voted for Trump, you’re a racist!” The young man, laughing, asked how he could be considered racist, defending himself as “highly educated.”

Testanero then shot back, “Oh, are you? Then why are you wearing that hat? Only uneducated people wear that hat.”

As the confrontation continued, other subway passengers attempted to intervene.

One rider suggested, “That’s why he won, because of people like you.”

The argument escalated when the man exited the subway at 28th Street station, and Testanero followed him, lunging at the man in an attempt to grab his hat.

However, Testanero lost her balance and fell face-first onto the platform.

The video of the incident quickly went viral, with many social media users criticizing Testanero’s actions.

One Instagram user remarked, “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.”

A former colleague of Testanero told The Post that the creative director’s political views have become increasingly extreme in recent years.

“She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,” the former coworker said.

“I see nothing has changed, but now she’s gotten into the extreme, doing things like this.”

The source added that Testanero has frequently argued with Republicans and called out those she considers “racist.”

Testanero, a freelance creative director and branding expert, has built her career working with prestigious companies in the fashion and luxury sectors.

Her LinkedIn profile boasts her ability to lead teams and maintain the “highest standards” in branding and corporate strategy.

She prides herself on bringing enthusiasm and vision to every project she works on.

Testanero’s social media presence has also reflected her political leanings. On a Facebook account reportedly belonging to her, she shared a family photo of the Obamas and an image of “Joe” and “Barack” friendship bracelets, signaling her support for the Democratic Party.

Despite the growing backlash online, Testanero has not publicly addressed the incident.

When approached by The Post at her Madison Avenue apartment on Friday morning, Testanero refused to comment and instructed the doorman to turn the journalists away.

The confrontation on the subway has further fueled the divide between politically polarized groups in America, with social media users calling out Testanero as a prime example of the left’s emotional overreaction to opposing viewpoints.

As the incident continues to gain attention, Testanero’s future in the luxury branding industry remains uncertain, with some questioning whether her actions will impact her professional reputation.
