Lawyer for woman accused in Carmine's vaxx proof assault says worker used racial slur

He also labeled the altercation “mutual combat.”



1. We all knew this was coming.

2. I've got $100 that says the waitress did not utter a racial slur.

3. This isn't the Wild West. Just because someone calls you a name doesn't mean you get to physically assault them

A lawyer for one of the Texas women who allegedly beat a Carmine’s restaurant hostess in a dispute over the Big Apple’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate says the worker hurled a racial slur amid the “mutual combat.”

The accusation came as new details emerged about what exactly triggered Thursday’s fight — and a Black Lives Matter activist vowed to protest outside the eatery this week.

Justin Moore, the lawyer representing one of the accused Texas assaulters, Kaeita Nkeenge Rankin, told the New York Times that the hostess at the Upper West Side eatery used the N-word during the fight — and that she had a “very aggressive” manner.

“The hostess begins spouting out derogatory comments and speaking with two of the women. They claim that the N-word is being spewed out,” Moore said, according to The Times.

He labeled the altercation “mutual combat,” claiming the restaurant worker also generally talked in a “very aggressive” manner to the three women visiting from Texas.

“They also heard the hostess say, ‘Yeah, you guys can leave my restaurant,’ or something very aggressive like that,” said the lawyer. “When Dr. Rankin hears that, she turns around and addresses the hostess. She tells her, ‘This isn’t your restaurant. You’re just a staff member here. Please address us with respect.’ ”
