Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle was photographed on July 4 with one of the major promoters of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

In a photo posted to Twitter on Wednesday, Guilfoyle poses alongside David Seaman as he makes an "OK" hand gesture, a sign that has become associated with white nationalists. Seaman continues to promulgate false claims about the existence of a pedophilia ring being run out of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria by Democratic operatives.

Guilfoyle said in a statement to The Hill that Seaman was one of "hundreds" of photo requests she received on July 4, while distancing herself from his views.

"On my recent trip to Washington, D.C., for the Fourth of July hundreds of people asked for a photograph or selfie with me. I always oblige when possible, this doesn’t mean I know them personally or share their views," she said.

Seaman said in a video posted to his Twitter account that he "talked to her for 20-30 seconds, said hi, and then went back to my friend."

The dispelled Pizzagate theory from 2016 culminated in a gunman opening fire inside the restaurant. Other Pizzagate promoters, like conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, have since distanced themselves from the unfounded theory while Seaman has continued to promote Pizzagate on his Twitter page.

Fox News and Seaman did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.

Since attracting media attention for his photo with Guilfoyle, Seaman has posted several times on Twitter calling himself a “fan” of Guilfoyle.

“Hi, go f—k yourself,” Seaman reportedly said in an email to the Observer. “[Kimberly Guilfoyle] was gracious to take a pic with a fan. Why do you want to make me look ridiculous?”



“I’m not stealing [Guilfoyle] away from Don Trump Jr., but more importantly we didn’t discuss Pizzagate,” Seaman added. Trump Jr. has reportedly been dating Guilfoyle since he announced his split from his wife, Vanessa Trump.

Seaman runs a conservative news outlet called Fulcrum News, where he regularly posts pro-Trump conspiracy theories.
