Summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s pick for ambassador to Greece, faces scrutiny over sexual misconduct allegations from her time at Fox News, including claims of abusive behavior toward a female assistant that led to a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Guilfoyle denies the allegations, but her nomination reflects Trump’s pattern of appointing loyalists with controversial histories, including those accused of sexual misconduct.

Critics question her qualifications and the timing of the announcement, coinciding with rumors of a breakup with Donald Trump Jr.

The Senate’s response remains uncertain, highlighting broader societal divides over addressing sexual harassment in public office.

    Haha

    Part of me wonders if he’s having trouble finding willing folks (let me rephrase: quality willing folks) to do these jobs because 1. Most half-intelligent half-sane people know what he’s about 2. He’s about 2 years from being irrelevant to the Republican party and he’s not the person you want to be tied to. 3. He’s burned so many people that it really doesn’t make sense for reasonable people to be interested.

    I think (maybe it’s naive hope) that after mid-terms we’ll see the party start to look beyond Trump and effectively make him less important. We are sort of seeing it with the Senate putting pressure on some of his picks (Gaetz).
