Kim Guilfoyle Threatened With Exposure After Ali Alexander Joke

Kim Guilfoyle Threatened With Exposure After Ali Alexander Joke

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, received a threatening text message after she referred to the Arabic name of Jan. 6 provocateur Ali Alexander as a terrorist slogan, police records show.

The Jan. 6 select committee questioned Guilfoyle about her involvement in the “Save America” rally at the Ellipse in 2021, where she spoke before the Capitol insurrection.

The transcript of her interview shows that she was asked if she knew anyone called “Ali Akbar,” Alexander’s birth name.

“Isn’t that what terrorists shout?” Guilfoyle replied, mistakenly referring to the name as “Allah Akbar.”

On December 30, 2022, the day after the transcripts were released, documents obtained by the Daily Dot show that Guilfoyle received a text message that read: “Ali Akabar, isn’t that what terrorists scream? Hahahahahahahaha you stupid fucking sperm dumpster. The best is yet to come!!!”

The sender quoted Guilfoyle’s own words in the final sentence. During her speech at the Republican National Convention in August 2020, she ended with a dramatic “the best is yet to come!” that was widely used in memes. The phrase is also popular in the QAnon conspiracy community.

At the end of the message, the sender also included Guilfoyle’s Social Security number.

Guilfoyle received the message around 9:30 a.m. A call to police in Admiral’s Cove, a gated community in Jupiter, Florida, was made later that day, around 4 p.m. The address listed on the police report is that of a home purchased by Guilfoyle and Trump Jr.

Admiral’s Cove’s director of security and emergency services called police twice to complain about text messages received by Guilfoyle, referred to as “she” in the report.

Police were told that Guilfoyle would be waiting for them “at the spa.” The gated community has a spa, Blue Water, which is a few miles from their home. Although two police units were eventually dispatched to the scene, the report does not specify the time of arrival.

Over the next few weeks, a detective identified a suspect through a review of phone records. However, it appears that he has not been able to be reached and the case is currently “inactive.”

The report does not mention any potential connection to Alexander, and a number associated with the suspect does not appear to be linked to him either.

The threats against Guilfoyle stem from his testimony to the January 6 Commission, established in July 2021 to investigate the attack.

In the texts, Trump advisers expressed concern about granting Alexander a speaking slot at the Ellipse, discussing why Guilfoyle would have agreed to share the stage with him.

According to internal texts published on ProPublica, Guilfoyle allegedly “approved” a speaker list that included Alexander. Alexander also claimed to have received a call from him on January 5 about Trump’s mood.

Alexander was a leading promoter of stolen election narratives after the 2020 election, helping organize the Stop the Steal movement.

After Trump announced plans to march in Washington on January 6, urging his supporters to “be there, it’s going to be wild,” Alexander organized a “wild protest” on the Capitol grounds, where he planned a “noisy war from the outside.” But some Trump officials didn’t want him on the Ellipse’s list of speakers.

The text message chain Guilfoyle was questioned about was between Katrina Pierson, a Trump campaign aide and organizer of the Ellipse rally, and Arthur Schwartz, a friend of Trump Jr. The two were involved in a last-minute effort to eject Alexander and his associate, InfoWars producer Alex Jones, from the stage.

These texts were sent a few days before the rally and refer to Guilfoyle as “she” and “KG.”

Schwartz asked: “Why do we let our people share the stage with Ali Akbar and people like him?”

Akbar is Alexander’s birth name.

“I’m so pissed,” Pierson replied.

When committee staff clarified that “Ali Akbar” referred to Alexander, Guilfoyle admitted to having “heard of” him. She said she did not recall the conversation Alexander said he had with her, but added that “all these guys were very annoyed with this guy, Ali Alexander.”

Neither Alexander nor Jones were allowed on stage at the Ellipse. Instead, they spoke at an event on Freedom Plaza the night before. Guilfoyle gave a speech that lasted less than three minutes.

“We will not let liberals and Democrats steal this election!” Guilfoyle said in her speech. She ended her speech with an enthusiastic introduction to Trump Jr., calling him “one of the greatest Americans I have had the pleasure of knowing.”

In a later speech at the Ellipse, former President Donald Trump delivered his infamous call for his supporters to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell” before his supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol.

Guilfoyle did not respond to a request for comment on the texts.

When Alexander was questioned by the Independent About Guilfoyle mistaking his name for a terrorist slogan, he laughed it off, calling the mix-up “hilarious and adorable.”
