Our reading
Britt McHenry’s drink-throwing incident at an NBA game was apparently so unimpressive that it managed to derail her career *and* her promotion. The fact that she was promoted on the same day she got into a fight over a fan’s comments about a celebrity’s fiancée suggests that the Trump administration’s promotion process is as chaotic as a high school cafeteria. The video of her tossing a drink is less a scandal and more a reminder that even in politics, the only thing more predictable than a bad decision is the timing of its consequences.
