Caitlyn Jenner talks Trump, being a transgender Republican and missing Bruce

May 10, 2017

Boy, have I gotten hammered over the last two years for being a Republican. I get it. The Republicans do not do as good a job when it comes to LGBT issues. I know that. And the Democrats do.

But from my standpoint, I want our country to do well, and the Republican party is closer to things like our Constitution — although I have had problems with them over the last 20 years. But limited government, I’m all for that. Lower taxes; let the people go — they’ll fix everything, I guarantee you.

I like being on the inside because I am outwardly Republican. I have sat down with 15 evangelical Christian conservative senators and Republicans at private dinners in Washington. Probably everybody in that room had never met anybody who was trans. And I want them to get to know me. I want them to know I’m not crazy; I’m not nuts. We talked for three hours about faith, about politics, about the issues that are out there for our community.

That’s the only way you can slowly change minds. I would rather convince the Republican party to do better with all LGBT issues than try to convince the Democrats to do lower taxes, less regulation and let the people go.

[Moostache]

3. It means "let the 'people' go fucking die"...its standard GOPese.

It is among their "greatest hits collection" like "state's rights", "birth certificate", "urban" and everyone's favorite "but, her e-mails"...

6. '...closer to things like our Constitution.' - idiot

On what basis? Because they keep chanting "2A" out of context - the only piece of it most of them probably recognize or care about?

You had a Constitutional Law professor in the WH, Caitlyn. F-off with your willful RW ignorance.

Sad

9. So sick of rich people who don't want to pay their damn taxes.

Caitlyn needs to experience life as a trans woman with *no* money and *no* celebrity connections. She would learn a thing or two.
