24 hours after it was reported Caitlyn Jenner’s campaign was over $150,000 in the red after blowing more than $910,000 on things like sushi dinners and limo rides, the gubernatorial candidate is blasting her Democratic opponent, Gov. Gavin Newsom, for going to dinner with a group of people nine months ago.
Yesterday, Jenner, who is currently Down Under filming a reality show, tweeted: “Is this what’s next for the entire state?! @GavinNewsom is ready to shut us down again while he wines and dines his lobbyist friends at the French Laundry.”

The French Laundry incident she’s referring to happened last November, when Newsom was photographed dining outdoors at the iconic California restaurant with a group of about a dozen people. He later apologized for his bad judgment and everyone moved on.
Everyone, that is, except for Jenner. She’s been attacking him for it ever since. But based on people’s reactions, as well as Newsom’s strong polling and huge fundraising numbers, it hasn’t been working.
How about we take this to the next level?

How much mileage can you get from ONE dinner at the French Laundry? Please – find a new harp string. That is sooooooo last year. If YOU were at the helm, EVERYONE would be having dinner at the French Laundry – happily spreading virus wherever they went.

Do you run on anything constructive or positive? Because we have NOT seen it yet Jenner!

Trolling is not showcasing your ability to lead or solve long term complex public health issues, Ms. Jenner. Go home.

Oh Caitlyn…can’t you find new material to use?

I don’t think you have a true plan on combating this virus in California. Higher vaccination rates and masks will prevent another shut down.

In other Jenner news, yesterday she tweeted an article published by The Hill about a new Emerson College – Nexstar poll that found that 46 percent of California voters said they were in favor of the recall vote against Newsom, while 48 percent said they were opposed. The remaining six percent said they were undecided.
“Californians are done with Gavin Newsom!” she remarked.

Ironically, last month, Jenner told reporters that she doesn’t believe in polls after a survey by the University of California, Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times found she was polling at just 3%, down from 6% a few months earlier.
“I’m not concerned about the polling,” Jenner said, adding that she “guarantees” she’s in the lead because of her “tremendous advantage, obviously because of name recognition.”
On Tuesday, Jenner missed a debate among GOP candidates vying for Newsom’s job because she’s still in Australia filming Big Brother. No word yet on when she’ll return to the United Sates, but mail in voting for the election begins in just a couple of weeks.

“The French Laundry incident she’s referring to happened last November, when Newsom was photographed dining outdoors at the iconic California restaurant with a group of about a dozen people. He later apologized for his bad judgment and everyone moved on.”
The right NEVER moves on. They are the definition of ossified minds. They still harp on the failed attempts to pin some criminal acts on Hillary. as if they were successful. They still claim Obama’s administration was filled with scandal. They STILL REFER TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS THE PARTY OF LIONCOLN, even as they labor to strip people of color of easy access to voting!
They look to the past (a mythical past). They live in the past. They think medievally. And they are way past having any relevance to or positive influence on the 21st century world!

tired ol’ woman. doing what she tells others not to do. and then not really doing anything at all. go away.

Can you imagine if a candidate ran negative ads on Bruce. That would be comedy gold.
What an embarrassment.

All I know is, Gavin Newsom better get it together before the vote. Spend whatever it takes to get out the vote and defeat the attempts at a recall. In the early 2000s, California sacrificed a decent governor, Gray Davis, for an incompetent, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and by the end of Schwarzenegger’s second term, California was in freefall. There are things Newsom and the Democrats could improve on, but the Republicant options are all far, far worse, especially the ones who want to impose Don the Con style fascism on the nation’s West Coast powerhouse.

We can vote to keep her in the big brother house. Would that be helpful at all?

Fake candidate
Fake woman.

YES!

She is such a brainless media-whore that she has no idea how embarrassing her comments are.
GrizzleyMichael
If she would win everybody would be having her impeached, and I don’t think I could stand looking at her ugly face for go knows how long she should be governor.
Heywood Jablowme
I bet she lost interest in the campaign when somebody told her the capital of California is Sacramento and the governor has to live and work there. Oh the horror!
BoomerMyles
All the repugs can throw at Newsom is his dinner at the French Laundry which was 1) hosted outdoors and 2) all attendees were tested NEGATIVE for Covid.
Even if Newsom gets successfully recalled CA will still enact liberal policy because of the Dem supermajority in the legislature that will override every governor veto.
You basically don’t even need a governor to pass laws in CA.

Kaitlyn Jenner is a horrible person

The thing that is Caitlyn is pathetic. Besides Trump one of the biggest jokes in politics. The Cait-Beast Is polling at about 3%…at the very bottom of the list of potential Newsom challengers. The Beast is just vile.

There should be a better vetting process for political candidates. The fact that almost anyone with enough money can enter a race without any or many other qualifications should scare us all. If our society keeps having a hard time coming to a collective consensus on issues that should be “no brainers”, how will we be able to survive?
Caitlyn is part of the problem. She seems to be the under the impression that she can continuously alter reality and apply her selfish privilege across all aspects of life, no matter who it adversely affects. The sheer arrogance of her being unequivocally unqualified to hold any office, but still entering the race as if she has the ability to do anything for state of CA is is a nauseating reminder of just how detached this person is from reality. At this point, she’s not just playing dress up. She’s trying to be in charge of life altering decisions for millions of people. She needs to be destroyed in the worst way and forced back into private life.

Notice how these right wing candidates can never discuss any real policies?
nitejonboy
I hope her campaign goes bankrupt and the bitch quits, which we know she will, because she never had what it takes in the first place. She doesn’t care about California, not one bit.Fame whore.
