  • Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality who is currently dating Donald Trump Jr., gave a heated speech at the RNC urging Americans to reelect President Donald Trump, warning that "presidential leadership is not guaranteed."
  • "Biden, Harris, and the rest of the socialists will fundamentally change this nation," Guilfoyle said in a speech that largely featured exaggerated claims and dystopian conspiracies.
  • "They want open borders, closed schools, dangerous amnesty, and will selfishly send your jobs back to China while they get rich. They will defund, dismantle, and destroy America's law enforcement," she said. "When you are in trouble and need police, don't count on the Democrats."
  • Guilfoyle's voice grew louder near the end of her speech, and she raised some eyebrows with her gestures, at one point drawing comparisons to a speech that the character Dwight Schrute gave on NBC's "The Office," in which he quoted lines from notorious dictators like Benito Mussolini.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality who is currently dating Donald Trump Jr., urged Americans to reelect President Donald Trump in a speech at the Republican National Convention that was riddled with exaggerated claims and dystopian conspiracies.

"He is the president who delivers for America," Guilfoyle said of Trump, and added, falsely, "He built the greatest economy the world has ever known for the strivers, the working class, and middle class."

Guilfoyle has become a staple in the Trump family's inner circle in recent months and is a frequent surrogate for the president on the campaign trail.

She also took aim at the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

"Now, presidential leadership is not guaranteed, it is a choice. Biden, Harris, and the rest of the socialists will fundamentally change this nation," Guilfoyle said. "They want open borders, closed schools, dangerous amnesty, and will selfishly send your jobs back to China while they get rich. They will defund, dismantle and destroy America's law enforcement. When you are in trouble and need police, don't count on the Democrats."

Guilfoyle tested positive for COVID-19 in July after attending two Trump rallies in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Phoenix, Arizona. Neither rally featured masks and had little social distancing.

"This election is a battle for the soul of America. Your choice is clear," Guilfoyle warned on Monday at the RNC. "Do you support the cancel culture, the cosmopolitan elites of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, who blame America first? Do you think America is to blame?"

As Guilfoyle continued speaking, her voice grew louder and she raised some eyebrows with her gestures, at one point drawing comparisons to a speech that the character Dwight Schrute gave on NBC's "The Office," in which he quoted lines from notorious dictators like Italy's Benito Mussolini.

"President Trump is the leader who will rebuild the promise of America and ensure that every citizen can realize their American dream!" Guilfoyle shouted as she pumped her fists in the air. "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream, the best is yet to come!"
