The opening night of the Republican National Convention didn’t feature LGBTQ people – let alone issues of importance to the community – but it started buzz online.

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle have been accused of doing drugs before giving their speeches.

Guilfoyle, who is Trump Jr.’s girlfriend and a top fundraiser for Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, shouted her way through her speech.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve had to turn down the volume on C-SPAN,” Late Show host Stephen Colbert joked after the event ended. “God, I’m glad we already had our kids because I think if I was too close to the TV, I might have been sterilized by that. Oh my God. That was a tough act to follow or watch.”

But Trump Jr. earned the most attention for his jerky manic speech given with bloodshot watery eyes during his pre-taped speech. The immediate reaction was that he was high on drugs like cocaine.

“One word: Visene,” actor Debra Messing tweeted with the hashtag #DonnieDrugs.
