ROCKVILLE, Md. — Prosecutors have dropped a criminal case against a Maryland woman who was charged with assaulting White House counselor Kellyanne Conway during a confrontation last year at a restaurant in a Washington suburb.
A trial for Mary Elizabeth Inabinett, 63, of Chevy Chase, was scheduled to start Monday morning in Montgomery County, Maryland. Instead, a county prosecutor asked a judge to dismiss the charges.
Police had charged Inabinett last November with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Conway told police she was attending a birthday party with her teenage daughter at a Mexican restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland, last October when she felt somebody grab her shoulders from behind and shake her. The woman who confronted Conway yelled, “Shame on you” and “other comments believed to about Conway’s political views,” according to a charging document prepared by Montgomery County police.
Conway wasn’t injured, the document says.
Montgomery County prosecutor Kathy Knight said Inabinett sent Conway a letter apologizing for the incident.
“She has apologized for choosing this time and place to vent her political views,” Knight said. “That was inappropriate.”

““She has apologized for choosing this time and place to vent her political views,” Knight said. ‘That was inappropriate.’”
I agree that the apology was inappropriate.
It was a typical leftist non-apology “apology”.
We keep allowing those in charge to stretch the boundaries at which the Left can abuse anyone they disagree with and not receive any punishment we would deem suitable. All part of their incremental game to transform the US. Most conservatives, who want all or nothing/black or white changes, get nothing.
The woman got lucky and received a Smollet.
Since there was physical contact, charges should not be dropped unless Conway agrees. It should not be up to a county prosecutor. [This is not a legal rendering, but a statement about the way things SHOULD work.]
I’m not happy with the outcome. Conservatives get nothing for taking the high road. Not anymore. Today’s combative-type Dems only understand a spray of Bear Repellent, a gut punch or immediate job termination. They aren’t all like that, but most, including this wacky woman are.
At very least, she is known in her community now as being
an intolerant liberal, prone to violent, irrational behavior.
Conway got smolletted. Another in a long line of chumps, whose names become a verb.
Shouldn’t she at least have been required to perform community service?
Possible civil suit?
We have a winner in the category of modern word usage:
received a Smollet.
Good job!
Receiving a Smollett is the exact opposite of getting Nifonged.
“Conservatives get nothing for taking the high road.”
I’m thinking thats the idea...
They’re doing whatever they have to do to get us to strike back -in order to prove that WE are the violent ones.
Yes, she is now a folk hero.
There is some big money being paid to judges and prosecutors to make these cases go away. The Jonathan Sparks case is still dragging.
Barely edged out "receiving a Kamala".
Next time, knock them out because you will not get justice.
She didn’t get “lucky” a left wing DA protected their own...
Sick of this crap.
Ah, one law for conservatives, another for these left wing nut jobs.
Barely edged out "receiving a Kamala".
Will never replace a "Lewinsky".
Sucks to be Monica...
F the imagine it’s time to fight back! These judges are hell-bent on giving them a pass so there’s only one solution fight back! Or get screwed by the black robes!! THEY TOO HATE AMERICA AND PATRIOTS!! FIGHT!!
