Caitlyn Jenner says she receives more hate for being a REPUBLICAN than transgender

She lamented the rise of the “liberal, woke” ideology that is “destroying” California.

Jenner told John Cleese about coming out in 2015, which she did in a 20/20 television interview with Diane Sawyer.

Jenner’s political leaning was a more contentious matter in the interview, she told Cleese.

“When I came out in 2015, I did Diane Sawyer as Bruce”, she said.

“It was the first interview I did where I spoke about dealing with gender dysphoria my entire life.

“At the end of the interview, she said ‘we spoke about gender dysphoria and the trans community, but I’m surprised, I hear you’re a Republican?’

“I went, ‘yes, we have Democrats, we have Republicans, I have always been on the conservative side.

“And she goes ‘that’s surprising’. I got more flack for being Republican than I did for being trans.”

Jenner said she is becoming more involved with politics, telling Cleese about recently standing for governor.

“This was a year and a half ago”, she said.

“There was a recall election going on in California. I have lived in California since 1973.

“I remember driving my 1973 VW Bug, I just graduated from college, I was driving to California because I was going to make it in California.

“I remember coming to the sign at the border that says, ‘welcome to California, the Golden State’, and I was so excited.

“I was going to make it there, and I did. I went to San Jose, I was there the last four years training for the [Olympic] Games.

“I won the Games, moved to Los Angeles because I was getting into the entertainment business and I just loved California.

“To watch it just being destroyed by liberal, woke Democrats, the state is run by them.”
