Trump Staffer McHenry Escorted From NBA Game After Throwing Drink at a Fan in Heated Encounter

Former ESPN reporter and current U.S. State Department press adviser Britt McHenry was escorted from Capital One Arena on Wednesday night during an NBA matchup between the Washington Wizards and Milwaukee Bucks. Video footage captured McHenry throwing the contents of a drink at another spectator following a heated altercation in the stands. Security intervened and escorted her away while nearby spectators booed and threw rally towels.

Sources close to McHenry claimed the confrontation began when fans yelled derogatory remarks about Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma and his fiancée, Winnie Harlow. The source stated the spectators then directed misogynistic remarks and threw a drink at McHenry before she retaliated. While representatives claimed she left voluntarily, other reports stated she was escorted out, and no arrests were reported.
