All I saw before asking my question was that they shook hands and McNutt handed him an envelope that was already addressed to Bonnen. There are too many versions of the story out there to know for sure at this point whether there was an assault or not.

When reading such stories that have numerous versions, it's important to be aware of confirmation bias. Sometimes, we only believe the side of the story that we want to believe or that supports our preconceived ideas or bias.

Each of them knew the other was going to be there. They were both invited by the same donor, in an apparent effort to foster cooperation.

I can accept the first two contentions but not the last one.

I am no Bonnen or McNutt fan. Did he really assault McNutt?

We were sitting at a table in the front of the room, having been invited by a major GOP donor, Darlene Pendery, (they’ve donated a million dollars over the last years to a number of campaigns.) Bonnen came in and leaned over me, grabbed McNutt by the shoulders and began shaking him.
