Trump Jr’s fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle had a history lesson for Republicans but her schoolboy error was the convention’s funniest laugh out loud moment

We haven’t particularly come across Kimberly Guilfoyle before, but we will sure be looking out for her in the future after the Trump campaign adviser, former prosecutor, Fox News presenter and fiancee of Donald Trump Jr addressed the Republican convention.

Guilfoyle shared a lesson from history for all her fellow delegates, except it’s fair to say she didn’t get it quite right, and her schoolboy error might be the funniest laugh out loud moment of the entire thing (and there were a few).

See if you can spot it.

OMG. Don Jr’s girlfriend is dumber than I thought.

Mega oof.

And here is just a fraction of the mirth it prompted.

They don’t want to bring up fighting the Nazis. It might upset their base.

We live in such a depressingly ignorant time.

Kim Guilfoyle at the RNC says the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy ‘faced down communism’.

Yes, communism bad. But the US wasn’t fighting communists at Normandy.

It was Nazis. This is basic stuff. pic.twitter.com/PISkFzHIix

This is worse than Trump’s “and the airports weren’t build” revolutionary war speak

In point of fact, the communists were our allies and we were sending them so much stuff…

I remember that… it was right before the Martians bombed pearl harbour, and Eskimos dropped a nuclear bomb on Narnia

Omfg. She doesn’t even know that we joined with the Communists to fight the Fascists st that time?

Does she think we were fighting Stalin??

The best, in fact, was not yet to come.

To conclude …

Oh, Kimberley, please, for the love of all that is holy, read a damn book… https://t.co/R3wNYLlHF7
