Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle on Monday said that she is in talks with President Donald Trump’s administration about replacing Sean Spicer as White House press secretary.

In an interview with the Bay Area News Group, Guilfoyle said “a number of people” in Trump’s administration have raised the possibility of her taking Spicer’s job or another position in the White House press shop.

The White House did not immediately respond to TPM’s requests for comment.

“I think I have a very good relationship with the President,” Guilfoyle said in the interview. She called Spicer “a very nice man and a patriot” who is in “a very tough position.”

1. Just what you want to see in a press secretary

Discretion.

[Thor_MN]

44. That's not the way you spell "eye candy"...

[BeyondGeography]

48. Hey

Put those horns away.

[SharonAnn]

57. Not even on the job yet, but she's "leaking" anyway!

[TeamPooka]

2. So this is her way of killing the job offer so she doesn't get her pussy grabbed everyday?

[George II]

26. I was thinking something similar - she has to be readily grabable for trump.

[rickford66]

3. So, no more podium?

Just a couch with camera at knee level?

[underpants]

19. You nailed it

If there is a podium it will be clear plastic ala Megan Kelly.

[rickford66]

39. SNL could be the loser but I'm sure the porn industry is already writing scripts.

I'm thinking there's some good titles in the works.

[csziggy]

45. Why did I read your post as ...

"Just a crotch with camera at knee level?"

[rickford66]

53. Sorry. I misspelled crotch.

[titaniumsalute]

4. Trump: "Bring in the girl from Fox with big melons...that will help!"

[spiderpig]

5. She looks like Melania.

Just sayin'.

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. Not as bad as picking someone who looks like Ivanka, I suppose (nt)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. .

.

[Ilsa]

29. At some point donald will get confused and grab

the wrong one. Then maybe Melania will file.

[Hekate]

33. You do know he was putting the moves on women while Melania was pregnant, right?

We all speculate what it will take for her to leave, but the strongest possibility is that the pig she married has an ironclad prenup on her.

Yes, she tried her hand at monetizing her position as FLOTUS, which puts her in the same league as the rest of them, but Melania is very likely also an abused wife.

[Ilsa]

35. Yeah, I just have a hard time feeling any sympathy for her.

My guess is that in a divorce, she'll still have bigger bank accounts than twenty of us middle class women. She'll just have to learn to shop better.

[hamsterjill]

60. +1

I'm not crying any tears over poor Melania's situation.

[Hekate]

32. There's definitely a "type" he likes, isn't there?

[TBA]

12. Criticizes her words, the fact she works at FOX, Her political ideology etc.

But to say she is getting the position because of her "melons" is sexist my friend.

20. "Trump wanted to fire women who weren't pretty enough, say employees"

Donald Trump wanted only the pretty ones, his employees said.

After the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes opened for play in 2005, its world-famous owner didn’t stop by more than a few times a year to visit the course hugging the coast of the Pacific.

When Trump did visit, the club’s managers went on alert. They scheduled the young, thin, pretty women on staff to work the clubhouse restaurant — because when Trump saw less-attractive women working at his club, according to court records, he wanted them fired.

"I had witnessed Donald Trump tell managers many times while he was visiting the club that restaurant hostesses were 'not pretty enough' and that they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women,” Hayley Strozier, who was director of catering at the club until 2008, said in a sworn declaration.

24. I see your point.

I guess I was a bit jarred seeing someone refer to "melons" on DU.

Plenty of personal history here (I am woman who has been in a male dominated field for her whole 40+ years of working).

[KeepItReal]

28. Trump is literally that vile and superficial.

I'm sorry for your experiences.

I've got zero tolerance for men like him. Without being in a position of power, he'd be a cowering simpleton.

[jpak]

6. Cheeto needs someone to grab when Melania is in NYC

yup

[brooklynite]

7. Fun fact...

She was married for four years to former San Francisco mayor and current Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (prospective CA-GOV candidate).

[procon]

9. Maybe if Spicer started wearing a wig and tight, low cut cocktail dresses... nt

[Javaman]

11. great, now I have to bleach that image from my brain. nt

[csziggy]

47. Just hire the SNL makeup crew to reverse engineer Spicer into Melissa!

Play this backwards...

[Jarqui]

10. Makes sense. He needs someone to grope on his staff.

[DesertRat]

13. This is quickest way to end a negotiation with Trumpland, to talk about it

Link to tweet

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Trump doesn't need a personality

as Press Secretary. He needs someone savvy with Capitol Hill and specifically
steeped in corporate PR to surf the waves of his constant outbursts. I doubt
anyone who understands what this job entails in its current formulation would
be willing to accept it. So yeah, curves will wow the male deplorables.

[riversedge]

15. lordy lordy

[Luciferous]

16. Anyone who would even consider taking that job is crazy...

[videohead5]

18. She Was Married to Gavin Newsom

Former Democratic mayor of San Francisco.I don't know what happened to her after they got divorced?..she turned to the dark side.

[videohead5]

21. I Just Read

That she wished Putin could be the president of the United States when Obama was president so she will fit right in.

[Hekate]

34. Link?

[underpants]

42. Putin worshipping was standard RW stuff

On Fox and on the radio. Putin STRONG, Obama weak (except when he was all powerful and they were at his will)

[underpants]

43. Newsweek

Her appointment would not likely quell the grumbling over alleged links between Trump's team and Russia. When Barack Obama was president, Guilfoyle said she would welcome an authoritarian leader in the mold of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"I mean, can I just make a special request in the magic lamp?" she said. "Can we get like [Israel Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and like Putin in for 48 hours, you know, head of the United States? I don’t know. I just want somebody to get in here and get it done right.”

[Hekate]

50. Many thanks underpants. And may I add...

Ewwwwwwww. Yeah, she should fit in well.

[MontanaMama]

22. Has anybody broken the news to Spicey?

Isn't it weird to make it public that Spicey is on the way out when he's in the middle of a press conference?

[Marcuse]

25. The same guy who broke the news to Comey.

[MontanaMama]

49. Nice.

Definition of a shit show. Unbelievable.

[IronLionZion]

23. Anyone who says anything critical of her is a misogynist

and racist since she's half Puerto Rican.

That's how Republicans think. They already play the misogyny card with Kellyanne.

[wishstar]

58. She loves the spotlight, but the WH position doesn't pay enough to end her Fox contract

No one in their right mind would want to be WH spokesperson for the lying psychopath even if the job did pay better than being a Fox TV host which it most definitely does not

[George II]

27. He's already got a "10" as Press Secretary - both Sarah and Sean are 5's

[Marcuse]

30. Trading Melissa McCarthy for Tina Fey?

[Ilsa]

31. I guess trump and bannon think

the reporters will just lob softballs at her since she's pretty and shapely. I wonder if her wardrobe will become a little more conservative if she lands the gig.

[rurallib]

36. What is her LPM rate (lies per minute)?

I think 10 is a minimum standard.

[Angry Dragon]

37. Why is it that republicans have no idea what a patroit means??

[BannonsLiver]

40. The WH press corps will chew her up and spit her out in a day without breaking a sweat

People can say what they want to about Spicey. I know I have. But the man can take a punch (metaphorically). I don't think some Fox News stooge is equipped for that kind of drubbing.

[rickford66]

54. She keeps abreast of the news ?

She nips false news in the bud ?
Has she ever gone undercover ?
So many questions.

[dalton99a]

59. Trump concurs: "She's great. She's got tremendous assets"

[tanyev]

46. Surely she's smarter than to jump on a train that's accelerating toward a cliff.

[lapfog_1]

51. At this point, no matter what her qualifications, she would be smart to say "no". - n/t

[Freethinker65]

52. If she is smart, she will decline

[Initech]

55. They should just make Fox News state run television and get it over with.

After all, a state controlled network is the hallmark of any dictator.

[Baclava]

56. yeah
