Did you know that Kellyanne Conway's grandfather (Jimmy “The Brute’ DiNatale) was a mob associate?

Asked by smudges (11266points) April 13th, 2023

She was 16 when he died in 1983. Many members of the Bruno/Scarfo crime family attended the funeral. I just learned of this and wondered if it’s common knowledge.

Nope, though I’ve no idea who Kellyanne Conway is, neither.

I barely follow politics but recognized her name. She served as Senior Counselor to Trump from 2017 to 2020. She’s been a lightning-rod for controversy, often accused of peddling false narratives – “alternate facts.”

Did you know Woody Harrelson’s dad was a hitman and organized crime figure who was convicted of assassinating federal judge John H. Wood Jr., the first federal judge to be assassinated in the 20th century.

No. It has no importance for me.

I don’t think that it was common knowledge. Still it changes NOTHING about what I think of her.

Now, with Woody Harrelson, he made it public knowledge & It also changed NOTHING about what I think of him!!!

I don’t believe in the “sins of the father” concept.

I mean that’s interesting, but it really means nothing.

^^ I know there’s no significance to it as far as she’s concerned, I just found it interesting and wondered if it was common knowledge.

Makes sense, that is why she ended up working for an organized crime figure that may go down as guilty of RICO statutes.

So what? That is not who she is.

I didn’t know and I do find it an interesting fact.

I remember who she was, as the WH spokesperson, spinning lies on a daily basis. I never hear about her any more.
