Former Fox News host and fiancé for Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle just gave a vicious reality check to her ex-husband, Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
It came after the governor said in an interview that his ex-wife “changed” after she began working for Fox News when he spoke to Democrat strategist David Axelrod for an episode of his podcast “The Axe Files.”
“She was a different person,” he said. “She was working for a progressive district attorney … We were close to Kamala [Harris], she knew her well, and she was spending a lot of time in Democratic circles.”
“She had her ambition, I just got elected mayor, and days after I was elected mayor, she moved to New York for a Court TV gig, and then eventually Fox,” the governor said before blaming Fox News for his ex-wife changing.
“She fell prey, I think, to the culture at Fox in a deep way,” he said. “She would disagree with that assessment, she would perhaps suggest that she found the light.”
And disagree she did when she spoke with conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk.
She said that his claim was “absurd” and that she was a registered Republican from the day she was eligible to vote.
“Have you ever seen me to be someone that is led by others?” she said to the host.
“No, I have been a proud Republican and conservative — registering as a Republican, 18 years of age, attending [the University of California Davis], which has gone a little crazy, and a member of the [Young Republicans] there,” she said.
“Gavin knows this,” the former Fox News host said. “I didn’t change. He did.”
“He used to be so proud to fight for small businesses, for entrepreneurs, for those hardworking men and women, and he’s fallen prey to the left, the radical left that is pushing him so far to the left that it’s unrecognizable,” she said.
The former wife of Newsom said that she believes the California governor will campaign for president someday.
“I know he’s gonna run for president,” the former Fox News host said. “He’s always wanted to be president of the United States. … This is something that he wants very badly.”
And she believes that her former husband will be former President Donald trump’s opponent in 2024, and not President Joe Biden.
But in November the California governor said unequivocally that he will not be a candidate for president in 2024, Politico reported.
“I’ve told everyone in the White House, from the chief of staff to the first lady,” he said.
Newsom relayed the same to Biden himself on election night.
After spending much of the evening with family, aides and supporters at the governor’s mansion watching the surprisingly strong returns for Democrats, the governor dashed over to a Sacramento hotel to briefly celebrate his own landslide reelection and trumpet the approval of a ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in California’s constitution.
“We affirmed clearly with conviction that we are a true freedom state,” Newsom told reporters. He contrasted California, and himself, with book and abortion banning governors in other states who also won reelection but remained nameless. Or at least they did explicitly so, until Newsom alluded to the one “flying migrants to an island.”
It would seem to have all the makings of classic political preview, a coming attraction as they would say 400 miles down the 5. Here was the freshly-reelected, next-generation Democrat of one mega-state standing with his young family and calling out the freshly-reelected, next-generation Republican of another mega-state a few hours after DeSantis claimed victory on stage with his young family.
“I’m all in; put me in coach,” he said to the president. “We have your back.”
“He not only beat Trump once, I think he can beat him again,” he said. “I hope he runs, I’ll enthusiastically support him.”
“It’s frustrating because I have so much reverence and respect for not only the president but the vice president is an old friend, for all of those interesting things you guys all love to write about, we’ve known each other for 25 years,” he said.
