Britt McHenry loses Trump administration job after throwing drink at fan during NBA game

Britt McHenry, a former press adviser at the US State Department, has resigned from her position following a video that surfaced showing her throwing a drink at a fan during an NBA game. The incident occurred during a match between the Washington Wizards and the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, on October 22.

The reason for the altercation remains unclear, but it is believed that McHenry was provoked by inappropriate and misogynistic comments from the group sitting behind her. She had previously announced her position with the Trump administration in September and had worked for various media outlets including ESPN, Fox Nation, and Fox News Media.
