Possible Trump Press Secretary Kimberly Guilfoyle Wanted Putin To Be President

Guilfoyle Has Also Repeatedly Attacked Black Lives Matter, Refugees, And Immigrants

Kimberly Guilfoyle, one of the co-hosts of Fox News’ The Five, reportedly had multiple meetings with President Donald Trump’s transition team about possibly serving as his press secretary. In May, The New York Times reported that Trump has floated Guilfoyle as a possible replacement for press secretary Sean Spicer. Like Trump, Guilfoyle has expressed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin and even called for him to run America for a short time. She has also demonized the Black Lives Matter movement, calling it a hate group that thinks it’s “OK" to "kill cops,” and defended Trump’s attacks on the press. And she has made incendiary comments about terror suspects, refugees and immigrants, including denying that Muslims have faced discrimination in America.
