She is neighbors with her victims, but she isn't your ordinary neighbor. Her name is Maura Moynihan, the daughter of the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

She admitted to Eyewitness News on Wednesday that she is the woman seen in the video.

In a statement, Moynihan called the dispute a misunderstanding saying, "It had nothing whatsoever to do with any bias or racism or anti-Asian American prejudice, as has been wrongly suggested."

She says it was a dispute over a cab and denied any racism was involved.

"I have devoted most of my life to working with and for Asian people, most particularly in the cause of securing basic human rights for the Tibetan people in their continuing struggle against Communist China," Moynihan said.

Yet when confronted by the victim's husband, she didn't deny hurling a racist remark.

"Just because she's done all these things in the past does not justify what she said," Lee said.

Moynihan goes on to say she would be happy to meet with the couple to explain.

"What she said wasn't an apology," Ha said. "We don't accept that behavior at all, so I don't want to meet her. Why would I meet her?"

Moynihan did not directly address the words she allegedly said in her statement.

"This is extremely hurtful," Lee said. "Like for me personally, I was born in the U.S., my entire life, and to be told to leave this country, to go back to Communist China, is seriously offensive. I was born here. This is my home."
