Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, was a top fund-raising official for Donald J. Trump’s 2020 campaign. She is the fiancée of his son Donald Trump Jr.
Four years ago, Kimberly Guilfoyle delivered a dark, high-decibel, six-minute address to the Republican National Convention that made her the subject of derisive jokes from pundits and late-night comedians.
In her 2020 speech, Ms. Guilfoyle accused Democrats of peddling a menacing socialist agenda and seeking to brainwash Americans with a “weak, dependent liberal victim ideology.”
But it was the volume of her voice that drew the most attention.
Stephen Colbert of the “Late Show” characterized Ms. Guilfoyle as a “vengeful banshee who will haunt your dreams.” James Poniewozik, The New York Times’s chief TV critic, wrote that her speech had threatened to “Make America Deaf Again.” And Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” wished a “speedy recovery” to anybody who had listened through headphones.
On Wednesday, Ms. Guilfoyle, a 55-year-old former Fox News host who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr. and was a top fund-raising official for his father’s 2020 campaign, is getting another shot at the R.N.C. spotlight.
In 2020, wearing a striking red dress, Ms. Guilfoyle said Democrats had turned California, where their party controls the state government (her ex-husband, Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is its governor), into a “land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets and blackouts in homes.”
Her voice seemed to grow louder during her remarks. As she finished, she smiled widely, stretched her hands toward the camera and declared in a near-shout that “the best is yet to come.”
