Kimberly Guilfoyle forced to ask audience to clap as awkward speech falls flat

Source: The Independent

10 hours ago


Kimberly Guilfoyle eventually had to ask her audience at the Florida Republican Party annual dinner to clap for her as her awkward speech fell flat in front of an audience of allies. It was a moment reminiscent of Jeb Bush’s “please clap” moment during the 2016 campaign.

Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr, was speaking at the dinner in Hollywood, Florida when she shared her hope that Democrats would lose seats in Congress and be forced to give up control of the White House.

“I’m here to tell you don’t lose hope. On a personal note, I can tell you that I am as hopeful as ever. Because Americans from all walks of life have had enough of the Democrats’ decline,” she told the audience.

“And we are ready, we are willing, and we are able to spark a new era of American exceptionalism,” she added. She paused as a few people clapped and an awkward silence ensued. “You can clap for that!” she said, prompting a few others to join in with the applause.

suggesting he might be involved with Boebert now. I have no idea if any of that's true, but Junior and Guilfoyle have been engaged more than 3 years, so Junior was obviously in no hurry to get married again. And Guilfoyle is 17 years older than Bobo, 8 years older than Junior.

Burnt soggy toast. Engaged for over three years and she hasn't aged well at all and no amount of botox and surgery can fix what she's facing. Pun intended.

If he and lewdlauren are sneaking around together, you'll be able to tell when her face gets all ballooned out with fillers and whatever. They don't seem to favor any kind of natural look. I guess if you're going to be one of their clowns you have to look like a clown.

she grins around the room and hitches herself back.

Reminds me of Marjorie Traitor Greene's weird giggle after every sentence.

Rhinoplasty; Boob Job; Liposuction; Facelift; Botox; Fillers; Cheek and chin Implants; Eyelid Surgery; Butt Lift; Dental veneers...

Too much makeup and a dreadful Party City wig made from horse's mane or a horse's tail hairs.

Well, I only saw her doing it twice. There may have been other times. But it did seem to be forced and unnatural.

I do not think she read the script of the speech in advance. Maybe she skimmed it, but she did not practice it. She clearly did not write it herself.

I imagine that the words "CROSS YOURSELF FOR EFFECT" appeared as stage-directions in the teleprompter script.

Both her and the American Exceptionalism garbage. It's the Republicans who have caused America's decline.
