On Monday, August 24, 2020, American attorney, television news personality and counselor to President Donald Trump Kimberly Guilfoyle gave a speech at the Republican National Convention. The six-minute long speech.
Background[edit]
Guilfoyle gave the speech from an empty Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. during the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convetion, whose theme was "Land Of Heroes".[1]
The speech was pre-recorded before being broadcast.[2][1] The speech was broadcast "[a] little over an hour into the first night of the Republican National Convention."[3]
Speech[edit]
Guilfoyle's speech was noted for its "shouted portions of her heavily populist message."[4]
She frequently paused for applause in the virtual-only event held in the empty auditorium.[5]
She decried the Democrats' "socialist agenda" and called California a "land of discarded needles in parks."[5] Guilfoyle mentioned that "this election is a battle for the soul of America," which Joe Biden and his campaign had used on multiple occasions prior to the event.[6] Additionally, she stated "President Trump believes in you. He emancipates and lifts you up to live your American Dream!”[citation needed]
She concluded the speech with "a minute-long crescendo that felt designed to rise above a thundering crowd rather than echo in a cavernously empty auditorium."[4]
Response[edit]
The speech was mostly noted for the high volume of her voice in the empty auditorium.[6]
Two days after the speech, Gavin Newsom deferred an answer when a reporter asked him for a response to the allegations against California made by his ex-wife in her speech.[7]
The speech inspired the #GuilfoyleChallenge. A version of the challenge is where individuals screamed snippets of her speech to very few people before them.[8] Another version was used to identify Guilfoyle being satirized by being compared to Disney villains on social media through the use of Internet memes.[9][10][2]
