Top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway allegedly punched a tuxedo-clad man at an exclusive inauguration ball just hours after the new commander-in-chief was sworn in, according to a witness.
Conway, who serves as President Trump’s senior counselor, apparently stepped between two men after they got into a scuffle at the invite-only Liberty Ball on Friday evening, an attendee told the Daily News.
But the two men wouldn’t break up the fight and Conway apparently punched one of them in the face with closed fists at least three times, according to the stunned onlooker.
It was not immediately clear what triggered the fistfight and a Trump spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.
Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino gave an account of the brawl in a Monday Facebook post.
“Inside the ball we see a fight between two guys in tuxes and then suddenly out of nowhere came Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway who began throwing some mean punches at one of the guys,” Gasparino wrote. “Whole thing lasted a few mins no one was hurt except maybe the dude she smacked.”
Gasparino emphasized in the post that he did not “exaggerate” any part of his account, adding, “Now I know why trump hired her.”
Conway is currently under fire for using the term “alternative facts” to defend White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s false claim that the crowd at Trump’s inauguration was “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.”
