Todd Kincannon’s “Crisis Management”

|| By FITSNEWS ||  Less than twenty-four hours after being involved in this bizarre incident with his wife (which has generated some seriously unflattering national press), former S.C. “Republican” party official Todd Kincannon was observed blowing off some steam with another woman in the vista district of downtown Columbia, S.C.

The self-described “honey badger of American politics” was spied at the upscale Motor Supply Co. restaurant on Gervais Street shortly after 10:00 p.m. EDT on Friday evening.

Accompanying him?  Donna Reed (above), a local real estate agent.

“Business dinner,” a friend of Reed’s told FITS. “She is his agent on a listed property.”

Hmmmmm …

Kincannon – whose deliberately provocative tweets have made him a pariah among America’s “progressives” – has been accused of some pretty bizarre antics in the past, but the lid on his crazy broke wide open over the weekend.

According to a police report filed in Lexington County, S.C., Kincannon melted down on his wife – Ashely Griffith – threatening to kill her, her family and himself.  Kincannon claims it was a bad reaction to a drug he was prescribed, however Griffith’s statement to police indicates Kincannon has previously assaulted her and made similar threats against her life and the life of her family members.

Which is consistent with what we’ve heard from other sources about his behavior …

Kincannon has yet to square any of that with his “accidental overdose” explanation, by the way.

A friend of Griffith’s told FITS she believed it was “highly unlikely” Kincannon and Reed were having a business dinner – but that even if they were it was a “very inappropriate” time and venue given the marital issues the couple is having in the aftermath of his high-profile meltdown.

Hard to argue with that …

Why drinking booze introduces you to interesting folks— this guy gave me his thoughts on it:
———————————–

It’s all the way you look at them. If you give some thought to it, you won’t decide women are so beautiful. Men are always
talking about how beautiful a woman’s breasts are. Go look at one. Suppose women were built different than they are today. Suppose all the women in the world had only one breast apiece and it was right in the middle and had tits on it like a cow. What would the men
say: Beautiful! They’d go around grabbing at that unsightly thing and talking about how lovely and round it was, and how pink, and so on. All right. Suppose that’s the way it was, and along comes a woman with two breasts like they got how. Good God! That woman would be a circus freak and men wouldn’t be able to look at
her without getting sick at the stomach. So I got it figured out that a woman’s breasts are unbeautiful, not to mention downright ugly.

How can you guys not mention her role in It’s A Wonderful Life? Which is a movie known to just about every generation alive today. This is like those “age tests” posts on Facebook, where if you know this actor or that you are old. But half the time they have a show that’s currently on Nick at Night or TVLand.

Interesting. He had represented her in the past and got her a $125k settlement. Like all good lawyers, he depositing that check via an ATM into his operating account (an ethical violation, hope the SCBAR knows about this). He then immediately started bouncing checks because the check was not immediately honored. Wonder if the bank reported him to the SCBAR since he was bouncing checks. Todd dismissed the lawsuit voluntarily after the bank filed a motion to dismiss. Someone should really just send a copy of the complaint to the SCBAR for more reasons to disbar Todd.

Actually, I didn’t think she was stupid enough to have ANY dinner with Todd. She was in politics before, even having her own political radio show so I assume that is the connection.

Buz Martin March 31, 2015 at 11:37 am

An insane amount of them used to hang on his every word on Twitter, and gleefully RT his most vicious tweets. Many of us, not quite as insanely far right, were his enablers and didn’t call him on being an asshole. Because, like a radio shock jock, he was entertaining. Remember, most of the stuff he said was stuff that a lot of people think but never say. He has always been very much aware of the vicarious kick people get from using him as proxy for their hostilities and bigotry. He’s being thrown under the bus now, by the political class that has anything at all at stake in SC — because he’s embarrassed the shit out of them. But make no mistake, he will still have loyal followers, if he ever gets back on Twitter.

What this article says to me is that FITS has decided not to “play nice” with Todd. The original article didn’t really condemn him and seem to give benefit of the doubt to the cough syrup defense. This one appears to be a shot across the bow that it’s now okay for the politico insiders in Columbia to take the wife’s side and abandon the asshole. At least, I hope that’s what this means. I say put paparazzi on this fat ass 24/7 until he’s run out of town.

Why does his wife call herself Ashley Griffith? What’s her background? If the dude’s been abusing her why is she still living with him? Kincannon used to be a well-respected guy in political circles and had a great reputation as being smart, witty and easy going. Seems like I started hearing bad things about him after he got engaged to this gal. Maybe she’s the rotten apple in that barrel.

I’ve known Todd for years and consider him a friend even though we haven’t been close in several years. I can vouch for what you said. He became toxic when he got involved with Ms. Griffith or whoever she is. He needs to dump her and get his life back together. People are very forgiving.

Yes, ignorance on my part, how can you have a two sided conversation with one sided people?

My writing is clear. I have no idea what you are talking about with the exception, I do free flow – I look at it from several angles. You know what – fuck it. I don’t need to explain to you.

You are the one who is wrong. The wedding was for show. No marriage license, no legal marriage.

No marriage records exist… Only pictures in a dress and tux.
