Gavin Newsom's Former Wife Kimberly Guilfoyle Slams CA At RNC
Kimberly Guilfoyle was among many speakers at the Republican National Convention Monday who deemed CA a chaotic land of oblivious leaders.

CALIFORNIA — California Gov. Gavin Newsom's former wife Kimberly Guilfoyle did not hold back Monday night in reducing the Golden State's "immaculate environment" to one piled high with used needles and street melees. Guilfoyle was among several at the Republican National Convention who openly roasted the state.
“If you want to see the socialist Biden-Harris future for our country, just take a look at California,” Guilfoyle said. “It is a place of immense wealth, immeasurable innovation, an immaculate environment, and the Democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets and blackouts in homes.”
Guilfoyle is a former Fox News host, a leading Trump campaign fundraiser and the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr.

In her ominous and booming speech, Guilfoyle also falsely accused Biden of wanting to defund police in the U.S., a claim that he already refuted Friday when President Donald Trump made a similar accusation.
"Biden, Harris, and the rest of the Socialists will fundamentally change this nation," Guilfoyle said. "They will defund, dismantle, and destroy America’s law enforcement. When you are in trouble and need police, don’t count on the Democrats."

While Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Republican activist Charlie Kirk, Orange County schoolteacher Rebecca Friedrichs also took aim at California's liberal leadership and rolling power outages, Guilfoyle stole the virtual stage and had effectively won Twitter by Tuesday morning.
"In President Trump’s America, we light things up," she shouted into an empty auditorium. “We don’t dim them down."
Gaetz decorated liberals in the state with the title "woke-topians" while slamming Joe Biden supporters.
"They will make [Biden] an extra in a movie written, produced and directed by others,” he said. "...A state that can’t keep power running for its own people should not send its junior senator to be vice president.”
Then, Kirk condemned California's tech and cancel culture.
"In this country, it means you can speak your mind without retribution — without being kicked off of social media by a self-righteous censor in Silicon Valley," he said.
Guilfoyle married Newsom in 2001 while the current Governor was Mayor of San Francisco and she, Assistant District Attorney in the city. The two divorced in 2005, citing that the demands of their respective careers had become to strenuous to continue as a couple, the pair said in a statement in 2005.
