Quiet dinner at home. Just the CEO of a multi-million dollar environmental charity and the wife chewing over some GMO-free responsibly grown soy-burgers and a kale salad. Hey, I just heard on AttackWatch (frequently referred to now as Twitter) that Kellyanne Conway was eating at a local restaurant. The wife leaves, ‘assaults’ Conway, and I’m certain this is Kellyanne’s fault for existing.
That’s not how it went down, but last October Ms. Mary Elizabeth Inabinnet saw or intentionally sought out Conway and verbally accosted her in a restaurant. Conway says she was physically assaulted.
Not some random nobody
Inabinnet is the wife of Mr. Andy Sharpless, who transitioned from an executive at Discovery.com to CEO of Oceana some fifteen years ago. Oceana has 43 million in play money. Sharpless is a birthright Quaker. Pacificism, non-violence.
“…describes herself in her LinkedIn profile as a former ‘Alinsky-style community organizer in Maryland, Delaware, Philadelphia and Massachusetts’ who now works as a volunteer recruiter at Ashoka, a Virginia-based nonprofit that supports more than 3,500 social entrepreneurs.
Ashoka lists ’empathy’ first among the planks in its platform for global success, describing it as ‘the ability to understand and respond to the feelings of others.’
‘In a changemaker world, empathy is as fundamental as reading and math,’ according to the organization’s website.
Maybe not so former ‘Alinsky business.’
Reporting in the Daily Mail reminds us that this attack happened shortly after the Kavanaugh Confirmation. And not long after Maxine Waters commanded the nut-roots to Alinsky the crap out of anyone connected to Trump.
‘Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,’ Waters said on June 23, 2018.
Inabinnet’s lawyer insists it was a legitimate exercise of the first amendment and that there was no physical contact. Conway says the restaurant was full of witnesses to the assault.
The trial takes place in March.
