she's pissed

Caitlyn Jenner “can’t believe” her election defeat, bitterly says voters get what they “deserve”

Nobody was more bitter, angry, and appalled by the results of California’s recall election than failed candidate/reality star Caitlyn Jenner, who called the whole thing “a shame” last night.

Voters turned out in force yesterday to vote “no” on the recall effort to oust Gov. Gavin Newsom. Jenner was one of 46 candidates vying to replace him.

The AP called the race within an hour of polls closing after it became abundantly clear that Newsom had won. In the end, Jenner received barely 1 percent of the vote, which is about what pollsters predicted she would get. (Well done, pollsters!)

Speaking to reporters after the AP called the race, the 71-year-old reality star slammed Newsom, saying he “didn’t campaign on not one of his successes, because he doesn’t have any.” Then she scolded people who voted against the recall.

“I can’t believe that this many people actually voted to keep him in office,” she griped. “It’s a shame, honestly. It’s a shame. You kind of get the government you deserve.”

Jenner suggested that she might not be finished with politics just yet… even though politics is clearly finished with her.

“When I decided to do this, I was coming in as an outsider. I’ve been around politics a long time, but never actually running for office,” she said.  “And I thought I really needed some great people to surround me, to help me get through this, that know the ins and outs of politics. And I was able to assemble a great team, a great group of people.”

Unfortunately, they weren’t “great” enough considering how badly Jenner lost, how much debt she racked up during her six month vanity project campaign, and how nobody in her party wants anything to do with her.

Here’s how Twitter is responding to Jenner’s epic defeat…
