Kellyanne Tells CNN: Woman Assaulted Me. CNN Responds: Does Trump Trigger Right-Wing Violence?

In an interview on CNN, Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway stated that after the hearings for then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, she was assaulted at a restaurant by a 63-year-old woman who screamed at her, grabbed her arms from behind and shook her, all in front of Conway’s young teenage daughter.

Mary Elizabeth Inabinett was charged in November with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct; she had been identified by police after they obtained a restaurant receipt with her name, found Inabinett in state vehicle records, and matched that against a video of the encounter that was taken by Conway’s daughter. The video was unclear as to whether an assault occurred. Conway later identified Inabinett with Bethesda police station in November.
