Caitlyn Jenner interview on FOX
Sean Hannity was a bomb . |
(1)>>Caitlyn Jenner made it official: She’s running for governor of California.According to the Axios news site, Ms Jenner has put together a team that includes some of former President Donald Trump's advisers."Californians want better and deserve better from the governor," a statement from Ms Jenner said, confirming the news on her Twitter account As such, Jenner plans to be one of the candidates on the ballot to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, should the effort to recall him qualify for the ballot. For starters, she has shown little interest in one of the most basic duties of democracy — voting. I feel like stunned by Jenner's stupidity every time she opens her mouth. I feel like someone sat down and invented this character, and made it say the most vapid things possible. The Sean Hannity interview was just plain silly . Jenner's body moves and semi masculine voice was creepy. I laughed so hard when Caitlyn said she didn't support gay marriage because, and I quote, "I'm an old fashioned girl." 🤣😂😅😢 So much of it was right out a comedy show . Jenner goes on to say "We've never even had a woman governor." And if she gets elected, (1.2)California will STILL never have had a woman governor. She wants to be a compassionate leader “My friends are leaving, because the can’t take seeing homeless people on the way to their jets”. She literally referenced her private jet/hangar THREE separate times in one interview. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe it Yeah... that’s compassion. 🤪 I cannot stand her! Politico’s Carla Marinucci broke a story this past week about how Jenner sat out two-thirds of the elections she could have voted in since 2000. When Newsom won the governor’s seat by a landslide in 2018, Jenner did not bother to vote. Nor did she take part in the 2003 recall election of then-Gov. Gray Davis and the man who replaced him, (2)>>Arnold Schwarzenegger. The title says it all, how can i put on a wig, use makeup and call myself a woman and be given multiple awards?OK, i get its not that simple, but my point is that millions of people died fighting for their country, millions of people have died saving people in fires and for a celebrity to take all the attention away from the real heroes, whilst police are being shitted on by the media? Can someone please explain to me why he deserves to be called a hero? I believe Caitlin can do whatever he wants, but to be awarded things like Woman Of The Year, just for coming out is a bit odd. Caitlyn Jenner needs to not be governor. Lets explain why ...Not because she’s trans. I’ve heard shes tried to educate herself more on trans issues and politics. Which great, she’s no longer a right wing nut job telling other women what they can’t do with their body’s But because she murdered someone with her car by texting and literally had no repercussions...yes it would be amazing to have trans representation on the political front. But being trans doesn’t negate what she’s done, said about women’s rights, and being a piss poor human.Jenner is a Republican, and she would join two other high-profile Republicans who attempted statewide office despite not voting much themselves — former eBay CEO Meg Whitman who ran for governor in 2010, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who ran for the U.S. Senate that year. Neither was successful. What gets you elected is money, recognizable, media coverage, and only after all of that does your actual political philosophy and opinions come into play. ESPECIALLY at state or county wide elections. For fucks sakes, the Kardashians already have political access to Trump and Republican officials through Kanye: Is that the most ridiculous sentence I have ever written as a political scholar and aspiring historian? Yes, but the thing that is absolutely undeniable and funny is that it’s absolutely fucking true.Donald Trump literally became president because he was in home alone 2 and was on a reality tv show, and created a brand of himself as being a rich and successful guy. You’re kidding yourself if you think you need anything more than that, seriously. You need to lose faith in our political system, and fast. While Jenner is a historic candidate, as a transgender woman running for the governorship of one of the largest states in the country, the majority of responses show that the much-ranted-about concept of "identity politics" is largely so overblown. After searching and searching, I found virtually no explicit support for Jenner on social media. She has not garnered the support of the broader LGBTQ+ community (in fact, California's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization literally said, "hard pass") and it's difficult to imagine a party that is currently pushing anti-trans legislation in states across the country rallying behind a transgender candidate.
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>Caitlyn Jenner. Then there is the question of whether Jenner is qualified to lead the state. She’s not held elected office nor managed a major business.A former Olympic gold medal winner, Jenner is more famous for being a reality TV star and a transgender advocate. Trump had a lot more political influence than you are giving him credit for. Youre literally making the same mistake the media did in his election run "oh haha he had that show The Apprentice" he also was a billionaire who also owned a lot of property and had numerous political connections.Caitlyn Jenner has nothing in comparison to that. Most of the money belongs to the Kardashians as it always has and as soon as it becomes financially unfavorable (wont be long) Jenner will announce dropping out. There's also the factor of it being a recall election which basically means political nobodys get to have the spotlight for juuust a bit longer than usual.Faith in the system has nothing to do with it. Are you not insinuating that she has a chance to win and would be democratically voted in which would mean the system is working? Im also not so stupid to believe that someone whos running as a Republican in California whos also transgender is going to sway a heavy democrat state. (1.2)California will STILL never have had a woman governor. For the MOST PROGRESSIVE STATE California has never elected a Woman Governor . How is that ???? All told, more than half of all states have had at least one female governor, and 24 have elected them.But California? See if you can spot the pattern.In 1990, Dianne Feinstein ran for governor against Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Wilson. She lost, the political analysts at the time said, because of low name recognition and an “unfocused” campaign. But the fact remains that every time a woman has made it to the top of the ticket in a gubernatorial race, she has lost. If nothing else, it’s a startling contradiction. California is supposed to be the vanguard of social change. (2)>>Arnold Schwarzenegger. Californians also shouldn’t forget the numerous amounts of issues Schwarzenegger had as Governor during his term. He came into his position strong and filled with many promises. Towards the end, he had flopped on his promises, putting California in even more debt while garnering a 22% public approval rating. He was considered more as a partisan rather than a politician, and flipped between sides based on what would make him look most like a hero. Despite Schwarzenegger having some political background, his celebrity-status still held more of a priority.
