WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 24: Kimberly Guilfoyle pre-records her address to the Republican National Convention at the Mellon Auditorium on August 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced the Republican Party to move away from an in-person convention to a televised format, similar to the Democratic Party's convention a week earlier.

The Republican National(ist) Convention kicked off on Monday, with a few hours of mostly older white folks telling America that everything that they’ve seen and heard over the past few years under the Trump administration has been great. No, it’s really been great! Shut your face! The pandemic is the best! Our economy and tens of millions of people out of work is fantastic! Shush your mouth!

One of the … most-talked about moments was the back-to-back high octane presentations from former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle and her current paramour, Donald Trump Jr. Both seemed … very energetic. Some might even call their speeches terror-fying. Guilfoyle’s closer was a screaming/yelling statement to the Trump base to fight for their freedoms, as “the best is yet to come!” Let me take off my face mask, my nitrile gloves, quiet down my kids, wash my hands, check on my parents’ health, and then I’ll get back to you, Ms. Guilfoyle. Well, America heard Kimberly—frankly, you didn’t have to be watching to hear her scream the ending—and #GuilfoyleChallenge began to trend on Twitter.
