Kimberly Guilfoyle at the 2020 Republican National Convention

On Monday, August 24, 2020, American attorney, television news personality and counselor to President Donald Trump Kimberly Guilfoyle gave a speech at the Republican National Convention. The six-minute long speech.
Background
Guilfoyle gave the speech from an empty Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. during the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convetion, whose theme was "Land Of Heroes".
The speech was pre-recorded before being broadcast.
Speech
Guilfoyle's speech was noted for its "shouted portions of her heavily populist message."
She frequently paused for applause in the virtual-only event held in the empty auditorium.
She decried the Democrats' "socialist agenda" and called California a "land of discarded needles in parks." Additionally, she stated "President Trump believes in you. He emancipates and lifts you up to live your American Dream!”
She concluded the speech with "a minute-long crescendo that felt designed to rise above a thundering crowd rather than echo in a cavernously empty auditorium."
The speech inspired the #GuilfoyleChallenge. A version of the challenge is where individuals screamed snippets of her speech to very few people before them. Another version was used to identify Guilfoyle being satirized by being compared to Disney villains on social media through the use of Internet memes.<ref name=":6" />
