Donors Picked Up Tab for Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Party

March 17, 2020 at 4:52 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

New York Times: “It was a lavish birthday party for Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. The setting was Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Fla. The guest list included dozens of Trump family members and friends.”

“But when it came to picking up the tab, hands went out to other attendees. Among them were at least four whose families are financial supporters of the president’s re-election campaign, for which Ms. Guilfoyle helps lead the fund-raising. They ended up pitching in tens of thousands of dollars, passed along to Mar-a-Lago, to help pay for what two people familiar with the planning said was a $50,000 celebration of Ms. Guilfoyle’s 51st birthday.”

Said Newsom: “I think, in those terms, I’m still trying to come to grips with all of it. No, it’s fine. I wish her well, and them well. And we see the world, clearly, with a different set of eyes politically.”

To the reporter who asked the question, he added: “You had the courage to be the first one to ever ask me this. I admire just the courage of that.”

Guilfoyle Left Fox News After Investigation Into Misconduct

July 27, 2018 at 9:45 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Kimberly Guilfoyle’s departure from Fox News earlier this week was initially billed as her decision. However, HuffPost reports that multiple sources said she did not leave the network voluntarily.

“They said Guilfoyle was informed her time at Fox News was up following a human resources investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior including sexual misconduct, and that her lawyers had been involved since the spring. Sources also said that despite being told she would have to leave by July, Guilfoyle repeatedly attempted to delay her exit and tried to have her allies appeal to Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, to let her stay at the network.”

“Six sources said Guilfoyle’s behavior included showing personal photographs of male genitalia to colleagues (and identifying whose genitals they were), regularly discussing sexual matters at work and engaging in emotionally abusive behavior toward hair and makeup artists and support staff.”

Guilfoyle Says She Might Become Trump’s Press Secretary

May 16, 2017 at 1:19 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle tells the San Jose Mercury News that she is in conversations with the Trump administration about becoming White House press secretary.

Said Guilfoyle: “I’m a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country. I think it’d be a fascinating job, it’s a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position.”

She added: “Sean Spicer is a very nice man and a patriot; he’s dedicated himself to this public service. Very tough position he’s in — I wish him the best, and I know he puts a lot of effort into it.”
