According to Washington paparazzi photog Mark Wilkins, Conway was approximately 20 feet away from the man who shouted at her, “Keep trashing America.”

Conway ripped the guy, saying, “I like the way you talk shit while I’m walking away.”

Security could sense the whole thing was escalating.

“Secret Service stopped her,” Wilkins told The Mirror by phone. “Two of them put their arms up and blocked her.”
