Caitlyn Jenner voted for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. She did so knowing exactly how Trump and Pence felt about women, LGBTQ issues, nuclear war, immigration, reproductive rights, police violence and more. She knew all of that and she still voted for them because she believes in the Constitution. As it turns out, Caitlyn is also familiar in particular with Pence’s most homophobic stances, like his continued belief in gay conversion therapy (which is basically “torture away the gay”). Well, Caitlyn was chatting with Andy Cohen on Cohen’s SiriusXM show and wouldn’t you know? Caitlyn is going to do a meeting with VP Pence. Isn’t that special. Some quotes from the interview:
She knows everything about Pence: “I know everything that’s going on and I know everybody in his and Trump’s administration who are for and against. [Pence] has come up when he was governor [with] some of the most anti-LGBT issues. I know that. The American Unity Fund worked very closely to take that legislation and really get it out of there. And he came back kicking and screaming. And did sign some stuff and did better with that on that issue.”
She met Pence at a pre-inaugural cocktail party: “I walk up looking fabulous. I was introduced to him and … I said, ‘I came in a few months ago and I sat down and had a private dinner with 16, 17 evangelical Christian conservative Republicans at a private dinner, at a private home and we had a three-hour conversation on the issues — on faith, on my community.’ I said, ‘It was such a wonderful conversation. I would love to share that conversation with you.’ He looks at me and said, ‘You know what? I would love to have that conversation.’” Caitlyn, who knows Pence won’t dine alone with women without his wife, Karen, made an effort to include her. “I turn to his wife, who was standing right there. And I reach out and I grab her hand and I look her right in the eye and I said, ‘I would love to have you in on that conversation.’ And she looks at me and goes, ‘Don’t you worry, I’ll be there.’”
On Kendall Jenner’s Pepsi commercial: “I saw it … and I thought, ‘That is cool.’ It was cute. I didn’t see all the things I guess some other people saw.”
As Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and some of the other kids come forward to call Caitlyn a liar, I’m really starting to wonder. Is Caitlyn lying about just her family sh-t, or is she lying about everything? Because that story about the Pences seems like the kind of nonsense story made up by a serial fantasist. And don’t you love how that story started with “I walk up looking fabulous”? THAT is what’s important to her: that she gets to have fun with clothes and hair and makeup and that Mike Pence spoke to her! Screw all of those gay and trans kids who have been damaged by Pence’s bigotry. CAITLYN LOOKED FABULOUS.

She should have a Pepsi and STFU.
*DEAD*
(the thing is, she DOESN’T look fabulous, either. In fact, I have yet to see her look “fabulous”.)
Yup that’s my thought all along!
Died! LOL!
LMAO… You’re gonna get me in trouble at work, Bengal!
”she should have a Pepsi and STFU” lol thank you for the good joke, I needed a good laugh.
“Richard, Bill Cosby just called me and chastised me for using dirty language in my act!”
“Bill Cosby can suck my m*therf*cking d*ck! Do the people laugh when you use those words? And are you getting paid to say them? Well, then tell Bill I said to have a Coke and a smile and shut the f*ck up! Jell-O pudding eatin’ m*therf8cker….”

You win the internets today BengalCat2000…CJ is a tiresome so and so. Yup you know everything and you still voted for them. Masochist much? Ugh!
I can’t with her.
She is an idiot and an asshole. Can’t stand her.
“She is an idiot and an asshole, *and a narcissistic*. Can’t stand her.”
I couldn’t help but add a *teensy* correction to your statement, Tate.
I appreciate the assist! 😀
She is the very definition of not woke.
I’m starting to think that she is indeed mentally ill. Not because she’s transgender, but all the delusional other things.
I can’t with her ever since she described how hard it is to be a woman *because of the constant upkeep of make-up, hair, nails, fashion, etc.*
Yeah Caitlin, that’s what’s hard for us. Not being afraid of rape on a dark street at night when a much larger man starts following you. Not pregnancy or fear of an unwanted pregnancy. Not domestic abuse by a husband or lover. Not being paid 77 cents on every dollar men are paid FOR THE SAME WORK! Not being treated like a weaker, less-intelligent, less commanding, less competent worker than any man in the same field.
You have no idea of the real struggles of women, Caitlin. And though I do wish you well and applaud you for making the transition you yearned for your entire life, DON’T say you share or have ever shared our struggles. I doubt you even SUPPORT many of our struggles, since you are a conservative.
I had a slightly different read on that paragraph.
Caitlyn is pumped because she’s being accepted as a lady, as she should be.
She shared this story because it highlights her womanhood and her political ‘power’. Pence’s wife was a test.
It’s still self interested and myopic though.
Yeah, I read something similar. That first part about walking up looking fabulous was the ONE thing I can get on board with. Because let’s face it, she’s waited so long and I get it. She’s enjoying being a woman on the outside as well now and is having a ball with all the fun stuff she had to hide for decades, like clothes and makeup. I just don’t know that it ever occurred to her that Pence might find her repulsive. And make no mistake, these people find her repulsive no matter how much she think she’s still a part of that group. She’s not. She just hasn’t realized it yet. Which is kind of sad and yet … I can’t feel much empathy. She went from rich white dude to a rich white lady who hasn’t realized yet that the perks that come with being a man are no longer.
“And make no mistake, these people find her repulsive no matter how much she think she’s still a part of that group. She’s not. She just hasn’t realized it yet.”
agree completely. she was a part of that group before her transition, but now?…not so much. and not even just because she’s a “rich white lady” instead of a “rich white dude”. they don’t even see her as a “rich white lady” because they see trans people as freaks.
Absolutely. Rich white lady is just my perspective. I don’t even want to delve into what they might be thinking.
Yeah I *almost* felt bad for Caitlyn knowing that these people think the trans community is a bunch of immoral freaks.
I would love to know what Pence and his wife said when Cait turned and walked away. Judging by Pence’s record on LGBTQ rights, I imagine them clutching each other in fear and revulsion. Also recall that this is the same man that seven days ago praised Indonesia (a country that regularly persecutes gays) as a model of “modern Islam” that other Muslim-majority countries should follow.
Pence’s wife didn’t agree to be there, because she’s worried about Caitlyn as a woman dining alone with her husband. I doubt Mike Pence or his wife think of Caitlyn as a woman. Pence’s wife just wants a front row seat for what she thinks will be a freak show.
it bugs me to no end that this evil asshole has become a “face” of transgender community.
I agree completely. She’s a total jerk.
My problem with her now that time has passed and she is making the tv show rounds is that she still is thinking like a white privileged male. She has that “I’m entitled” air to her and I only see her as grabbing attention for herself whilst climbing over everyone else to get it. I want to like her as I naturally am for the underdog in all situations, but Caitlyn is no underdog and I do not see a proper empathy for others from her.
Yes. I was all supportive of her transition but now I feel a little bamboozled by her. I learned a lesson. I can support a cause but not a particular person.
I expected soooo much from her as an advocate for the LGBTQ community. Such a disappointment. Yes, I know she is not responsible for helping anybody, but still I thought with her position she could have been a real force for good. Her primary thought, “I looked fabulous” sums her up in 3 words.
Does Caitlyn consider herself to be an evangelical Christian Republican. I guess it makes sense, she has the “distinction” of following in the footsteps of her president trump, being married and divorced three times. Do as I say, not do as I do. Oops, trump didn’t divorce a third time. She definitely has a normal conventional marriage to his third, yeah, right. As for the Kardashians….they are all in an uproar that he is speaking negatively about Kris. Kim did an Emmy worthy performance on Ellen. They are just as Caitlyn is, publicity hounds. Happy Weekend all.
Did you see the article by Piers Morgan (yeah, I know and it was on DM’s site) about how he is done with all things Kardashian? I wasn’t going to read it but did. It’s something else.
Because in the Republicanland, all women need do is look fabulous. Mike Pence will listen to us if we just look fabulous. We’re supposed to trust and follow Ivanka because they think she looks fabulous.
This woman needs to stop. I rarely, if ever, post a comment on a Kardashian/Jenner story because, at this point, I cannot summon enough of a f-ck about most of them to warrant even a negative comment, but her press tour has drawn me in. She is a delusional, self-absorbed piece of trash who is doing nothing for her community. Everything she is trying to do is for her benefit and it shows all over her face and in her interviews. You would think that at her age and the wonderful trans activist who deign to hang out with her that she would have learned something, but she really hasn’t absorbed a thing. Tragic.
People talk about Democrats and liberals wanting to live in safe spaces/bubbles and yet Conservatives are literally doing that in certain parts of the country now. And they are getting away with it legally. They are creating spaces for themselves and making it harder for others to just live. Not thrive like a human being should, I am talking about just get up in the morning and being happy with themselves.
it is tragic, isn’t it?
she had every opportunity, and she squandered it
its crazy how much wealth and fame protect you from reality.
What is worse is that she is going to have to be publically humiliated by Dump, Pence, etc for her to get it that she is not wanted in their circle, and never will be. They will never be able to see past the fact that she was born with male parts and wants to live as the woman she is. They don’t value biologically born females other than as breeders and maids, so what purpose does a sixty-year-old trans-woman serve them? Ans: not a damn thing.
She is going to have to learn this the hard way though. I don’t like her or her family but no one deserves to be publically humiliated.
I dunno, Im starting to wonder if they’ll keep her on as a party trick.
Never truly accept her, or really listen, but keep her visible as a token. She’s so narcissistic, I’m not sure if she’ll ever notice though. I guess we will find out if she’s got more ego and observations skills, or denial and self absorption.
I also do not like her, but I agree they don’t deserve public humiliation. Especially since it will most likely be flak about her transition, and not other valid criticisms.
Caitlyn also said the pepsi commercial was filmed “over in the Orient or something. “
Exactly what I wanted to mention. I read that comment the other day and my jaw dropped. Caitlyn couldn’t understand why the Pepsi commercial got so much backlash, she also added another layer to it.
It’s not surprising that Caitlyn and Kendall didn’t get why people criticized that pepsi ad. They both come across as clueless.
REALLY ?? WTF
Ah yes, Orient is a beautiful country, you should see it in spring!
Ah yes, the Orient. Beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring, and I hear they have a variety of wonderful spices.
And the rugs…the rugs are amazeballs.
You are exactly right, all she cares about are clothes, make-up, shoes, hair….that’s all fine and dandy, but just own it and stay the hell out of politics.
Well, the problem is that Caitlyn was a rich, white, man who has now been thrust into the role of a diverse and/or disadvantaged person (woman, LGBTQ). But she’s living the experience from the lense of a rich, white, man. Thankfully for Caitlyn, she’s rich and famous and that creates a similar bubble. But what that means is that she’s not suited to be a spokesperson for the cause, because at the end of the day, she really doesn’t care. It won’t affect her one way or the other.
Correct, she never wanted to help anyone but herself, it is a shame she’s so selfish, but look at the family that she was a part of for years, it’s not like any of that group is doing anything for anyone. She could have really made a big impact for LGBTQ but I’m certain she never had any intention of doing so, it’s all about money and things.
Dumb b*tch.
She is really foolish to have voted for anď still stand by them just because they’re Republicans. They are against people like her. Doesn’t she realize? Shame on you Caitlyn!
It’s difficult to imagine something with less self-awareness.
‘My community’ bugs me to no end. Especially considering she has done nothing for the LGBTQ community and if anything, is a hindrance to progress.
Yeah she keeps referring to LGBTQ people as “MY community” like something she built it or is the queen of. It’s so freaking annoying. I cannot stand her.
I agree, but you just know she has an LA circle of trans sycophants who are enabling her. That’s how LA is.
Karen Pence’s reply to Caitlyn saying she would love to her join in on a meeting with Mike Pence just seemed odd. No ” I would love to or I would like that very much” it just had a tone of almost ” jealousy or guarding one’s turf”
I know that Mike Pence never has meetings with a woman on his own, so it begs the question has he had a wandering eye in the past? Plus frankly with Mike Pence’s views on the LGBTQ community you would think that Caitlyn would not be any threat to Karen.
“Plus frankly with Mike Pence’s views on the LGBTQ community you would think that Caitlyn would not be any threat to Karen.”
you’d think, but…I always go back to people like the homophobic anti-LGBTQ rights airport bathroom toe-tapper. so many of those guys are living the “look over there!” gay life…the old accuse others of that which you are “guilty”…they know their base hates any non-hetero conformist “lifestyle” so, by railing against it, they can hide their own proclivities. and, while he’s not gay, you can add that Duggar guy to that category, too.
I hate her so much. The level of privilege and entitlement is disgusting. She doesn’t care about the trans community or anyone but herself.
I find it hard to believe she looked fabulous. That radiates from inside, and inside she is so, so ugly a person.
She looks like Melania, actually. Apparently Caitlyn easily overlooked every awful thing about Trump and women for her one special issue. I don’t believe it … she likes this “tough” guy and doesn’t care if he lies like a rug to the American people. She bit into Trump’s propaganda.
Ewwwwwww
“Looking fabulous”- because that’s what rich white men thinks being a woman is all about.
The Kardashian/Jenner ladies put just as much emphasis on their looks over substance as Caitlynn does, but I’m sure they don’t get classified as anything other than rich, white WOMEN. And the majority of women who were/are Trump supporters were not transgender. Caitlyn is a vapid, self-absorbed, privileged moron who has exposed what groups of people she clearly doesn’t give a shit about through her support of Trump. But let’s not use that as an excuse to slip certain anger-and-fear-based prejudices into the conversation (that aren’t at all ‘radical’).
Can we stop giving so much attention to her? Think it’s great that she is bringing more awareness to transgenders (hope I worded that right) but she kind of represents what I hate in terms of representing women and our nation
I think it’s interesting that even the Kardashians are starting to turn on Caitlyn. They’re getting the full Jenner treatment – she’s moved on to something new and they’re left behind.
The Kardashians will do anything that brings them attention or money.
Becoming a woman did nothing to change what is the inside: a selfish, narcissistic, famewhore who could care less about her own family or the community she purports to represent.
Here, here. Agree completely.
This woman is so inarticulate. Read the first part of the quotes again – what the actual f&); is she talking about? Seriously. She is a native English speaker – what is her excuse for failing to construct a sentence that actually has some substance? How ignorant and plain dumb do you have to be, to give such a non-substance response about an issue that people ask you about ALL THE TIME
(No shade no non-native speakers – just that is at times a legit reason for struggling to get Ines views across in a foreign language)
Ms Fabulous has quite the wonk eye going on in pic.1.
It doesn’t matter that she was born male and is now female – she was always out of touch. A change in identity and/or gender reassignment will not change who she truly is.
Ass
Bruce was a self absorbed asshole. Caitlyn is a self absorbed asshole. She didn’t transition the asshole away.
And yes, they are absolutely laughing at her behind her back. 100%. She’s always been a star and she has no concept of what it’s like to not be the big kahuna in a room full of asshole white men.
You would think she would check her manicure before she goes to the red carpet carrying her book around for promotion. Her thumb nail popped off!
“I walk up looking fabulous…” This doesn’t surprise me. Caitlyn WAS married into the Kardashian family for many years, after all. There’s that mentality in common. Pfffft!
And 99.99999% likely he still hated you at that moment because he hates everything about you and transgendered people and the entire LGBTQ community, you selfish twatwaffle. HE DIDN’T CARE WHAT YOU WERE WEARING. Unbelievable.
What was the first sign that this person is mentally ill?
I’m sorry, this will sound rather rough, but he / she will never look fabulous. It’s nice that she thinks she does, but….. no.
