**Jami Floyd, a journalist and former public defender who worked alongside Kimberly Guilfoyle, reveals the backstory of a long-standing feud between Guilfoyle and Vice President Kamala Harris.** Floyd, who is writing a biography of Thurgood Marshall, asserts that Guilfoyle has repeatedly claimed Harris attempted to block her from a position at the San Francisco District Attorney’s office in 2003.
According to Guilfoyle’s account, Harris, who was then running for DA, called her and discouraged her from applying. However, Floyd contends that the claim is unfounded, as the then-District Attorney, Terence Hallinan, operated independently and was unlikely to be swayed by an underling. Notably, Guilfoyle ultimately secured the job.
Despite evidence suggesting the story’s inaccuracy, Guilfoyle has recently resurrected it in the New York Times, amidst dwindling influence within Trumpworld. Floyd suggests that the renewed claim is a desperate attempt to stay relevant as Guilfoyle’s star fades.
Floyd details Guilfoyle’s career trajectory, from her marriage to Gavin Newsom and their “Camelot”-esque rise to prominence in San Francisco to her move to Court TV and subsequent foray into Fox News. She highlights Guilfoyle’s ambition and shrewd use of her connections to advance her career.
However, Floyd also criticizes Guilfoyle’s legal acumen, citing incidents where her legal understanding was lacking and her courtroom performance unimpressive. She further criticizes Guilfoyle’s disregard for the presumption of innocence, a fundamental principle of American law, which she consistently failed to grasp during her time at Court TV.
Ultimately, Floyd argues that Guilfoyle’s recent attempt to revive the “job snub” story reveals a pattern of self-centeredness and a lack of genuine belief in anything beyond her own self-promotion. She concludes that perhaps Harris’s alleged “fierce opposition” to Guilfoyle’s hiring was simply a premonition of her future lack of principle and commitment to anything beyond self-interest.
