“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,” she said.
Guilfoyle, formerly a Fox News host, also invoked her own family history, reflecting on her mother’s life as a teacher in Puerto Rico and her father, “also an immigrant,” who was born in Ireland. (Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.)
