A night rife with hyperbole and histrionics. It was loud, dark, blood-tinged, and ridden with falsehoods.

Red dominated the night. It’s a color associated with the Republican party, as in red states. And with Donald Trump’s excessively long ties. On a positive note, it was also former first lady Nancy Reagan’s go-to color.

Mrs. Reagan made red her signature color; she wore it with equal distinction whether for casual or formal events, at home or in the world stage. Remembered for her controlled and elegant demeanor, Mrs. Reagan would have convulsed at the sight of the tomato-red sheath dress the voluptuous former “babe of the San Francisco bar” wore.

Not content with enveloping in the tight-fitting eye-popping dress, Kimberly Guilfoyle went for the nation’s eardrums. Doubtlessly, she deserves the award for the loudest voice of the night. And some say that she will be known as the woman with decibels comparable to the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.

She blasted her endorsement of Donald Trump stridently enough to drown out a hooligan convention. The former San Francisco prosecutor, who presumably was fired by vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and was married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, directed sharp criticism to the state both are associated with; one currently under a state of emergency due to raging wildfires

While having a relationship with Donald Trump Jr., Guilfoyle left her job as Fox News commentator to take on the role of Trump surrogate. And she has jumped into it with a zeal enough to shame a bull confronted with red banners.

Raising her arms a-la-Evita while grimacing, she screeched: “They want to steal your liberty, your freedom, they want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live.”

It was enough to purge red from one’s closet.
