Kimberly Guilfoyle eventually had to ask her audience at the Florida Republican Party annual dinner to clap for her as her awkward speech fell flat in front of an audience of allies.

It was a moment reminiscent of Jeb Bush’s “please clap” moment during the 2016 campaign. 

Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr, was speaking at the dinner in Hollywood, Florida when she shared her hope that Democrats would lose seats in Congress and be forced to give up control of the White House.

    These people should be glad they have no feelings of shame or embarrassment. It’s the only way I can imagine they manage to live day to day.

    What’s hilarious is that she is delivering this speech like it’s a rally. It’s a fucking dinner, everyone’s busy eating. Tone it down and read the room

      Seriously the proper move is to tone it down a bit and stop holding for applause so you don’t look like an idiot. She just kept doubling down and trying to go full rally on it. Probably difficult to tone it down with all the coke.

      If I ever happen to be at dinner and someone is yammering on, and then says “please clap”, I’m standing up and loudly saying

      no

    If she wanted to be more popular, maybe she shouldn’t hog all the coke

    Just to add some context from memory. Jeb was doing an event to rally his supporters but everyone was so hyped up they kept interrupting him during his speech. He politely asked them to save the clapping till the end. When he finally finished no one reacted so he had to tell them to clap.

      That’s some really neat context. I wasn’t overly concerned with Jeb at the time, since I had no interest in any of the R candidates, but the ‘please clap :(’ sure did the rounds.

      I can see now, though, that Kamala Harris was certainly aware and trying to not hit the same landmine during the DNC. Watching her try to politely tell the crowd to shut up for what felt like an hour got quite painful.

      Crowds: You need to let your speakers speak!
