Kimberly Guilfoyle ripped for call to fight and sexy dance in video before Capitol attack

The Republican National Convention last month featured relentless attacks on Democrats, mirroring what’s playing out in the state. Despite California’s vast wealth “Democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets and blackouts in homes,” Guilfoyle, the governor’s former wife, said in her convention speech.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is once again the topic of Twitter discussion for her fiery MAGA rhetoric and her dancing, but this time the chatter is about her appearance in a chilling video taken before President Trump’s Save America rally, which later led to a mob attack on the Capitol.

Guilfoyle is shown breaking into a hip-shaking dance while backstage before the rally started, and is then heard encouraging the crowd to “fight” for Trump.

Guilfoyle’s name came up as one of those in Trump’s family and inner circle who, many said, should be investigated for inciting violence committed by the president’s supporters. The riot left five people dead, including a police officer.

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin on Thursday said the Justice Department wouldn’t rule out pursuing charges against Trump as investigators look at whether other “actors,” who didn’t actually storm the building, should face justice, Politico reported. But the Justice Department appeared to switch gears Friday, with an official saying that Trump and other speakers at the rally were not expected to be criminally charged for inciting a riot.

“We don’t expect any charges of that nature,” one official told reporters in a conference call, CNBC reported. Another DOJ official told reporters that the federal investigation is focused solely on criminal acts at the Capitol building. The investigation continues as House Democrats moved closer to introducing an impeachment resolution next week, possibly for “incitement of insurrection,” CNN reported. 

On Thursday, a furious Joe Scarborough, a MSNBC host, called for Donald Trump Jr. and Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to be arrested for their calls to “fight” while speaking at the rally.

Meanwhile, people across social media said the “others” also should include two of Trump’s other adult children, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, as well as Guilfoyle, the former Fox News host, one-time San Francisco prosecutor, ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and now the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr.

Legal experts also said the First Amendment could make it difficult for Trump and others to be prosecuted for impassioned speeches. But even if Guilfoyle can’t be prosecuted, she was nonetheless being scrutinized on social media for her starring role in the video, apparently filmed by Trump Jr., before the start of the rally.

As Laura Branigan’s “Gloria” played in the background, the video showed Trump, Ivanka Trump, Guilfoyle and other Trump family members in a white tent. They stood around stacked monitors, streaming footage of Trump supporters outside, near the White House as before both houses of Congress were about to meet at the Capitol to certify  President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

A few seconds into the video, Trump Jr. called to Guilfoyle: “Kimberly!”

Guilfoyle, in a black cape, turns to the camera and briefly breaks into the hip-shaking dance she’s been showcasing at other recent pro-Trump rallies.

There’s a dancing
