Caitlyn Jenner is back in the United States after leaving the country for nearly a month during the homestretch of her gubernatorial campaign so she could film a reality show in Australia.
Jenner, who is currently polling at 3% among Republicans voters, touched down at LAX on Saturday after taping a brief appearance on Big Brother VIP, for which she was reportedly paid $500,000.
“Great time abroad for fun and glad to be back in #California on the campaign trail!” she tweeted on Saturday, along with an image of her and all her co-stars.

Unfortunately for the 71-year-old GOP candidate, her excitement about being back in the United States does not appear to be reciprocated by, frankly, anyone.
How about we take this to the next level?

Here’s how people responded to her “It’s good to be home!” tweet…
You should have stayed where you were

Go back abroad.

You could have stayed. You love shows where all you have to do is sit on a couch and say stupid shit. But you’re taking it on the road now. great

Glad you had ‘a great time abroad’ while many thousands of Australians can’t get home, are missing seeing sick and dying family, being forced to pay exorbitant prices for flights if they manage to get one but hey you had a great time…. Disgusting
— Tony4Fingerz (@Tony4Fingerz) August 8, 2021
Back already? Shows they didn’t want you there either! Got booted off quickly as you arrived. Your quarantine was a longer stay!
— Christopher Sunday (@Marvelous0ne) August 8, 2021
Speaking of, shouldn’t you be under quarantine here???
— Ms.Kymmi (@Kymmij) August 8, 2021
Ugh, go away

How was the great AU? Did you win?
Does it matter that you missed the first debate? I think it means this race doesn’t mean anything to you. Nothing altruistic, anyway. Don’t get me wrong. I wish for the best for you. Just not as my governor.— WaveBrave (@brav_wav) August 8, 2021
“Great time abroad”- what are you, in a 1940’s movie or something? You missed an important event for the job you want to do a job you don’t need. Very odd.

Australia is currently under strict lockdown after seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases. That said, if Jenner wanted to set a good example, she should have quarantined after landing in the U.S.
The CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people get tested for coronavirus 3-5 days after returning from an international trip and to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and consider isolating while waiting for the results.
But Jenner didn’t do that. Instead, she appears to have immediately zipped down to San Diego to pose for a maskless photo opp with the owner of a jewelry store.
“Always good to meet with local small businesses across the state,” she tweeted. “Small local biz Cecilia’s Fine Jewelry was forced to shut down and they are now up and running! Thanks for having me.”

Now, the responses…
“Forced to shut down” DURING A PANDEMIC that has killed over 610,000 people and millions more sick AND the new Delta variant- but hey, let’s make it political without showing your plans or Community work. 🙄
— DM (@DMfixedit) August 7, 2021
Naturally she have to pick a jewelery store instead of a mom and pop store. So much for compassion for the little people

“This non-essential luxury business is up and running under my opponent’s administration” isn’t the great argument you think it is.
— Herostratus (@Herostratus356) August 7, 2021
Tell me you’re wasting your time without actually telling me you’re wasting your time👍🏼
— Apocalypse Later (@LaloSoCal) August 7, 2021
Small business, jeweler 😂😂😂
— chick pea (@Hummus138) August 7, 2021
Jewelry. It figures. Even your “small business” has to do with frivolity.
— Lesli Lytle (@yentlben) August 7, 2021
Last week it was reported Jenner’s campaign was over $150,000 in the red after blowing more than $910,000 on frivolous expenses that included “staff meetings” at fancy sushi bars and limo rides.

Brucie Kardashian as usual looking out for Brucie Kardashian. No regarding to the impressins IT gives in terms of appearing callous and entitled. Still polling at 3%. hahahahahaha What a waste of $$$ and a terrible example of a human being.
We don’t need to see this “thing” in the media or anywhere else. IT should focus on providing restitution for the accident “IT” caused. Note: My “IT” comments should not be construed as being anti-trans. Far from it. I’m just anti brucie kardashian.
Cam
Same old right wing troll pretending to not like a right winger.
Sweetie, your trolling is obvious. You can dislike a black politician without calling them the N word, you can dislike a woman politician without calling them a C*nt, etc.
90% of your comment is all about deadnaming Caitlyn rather than talking about multiple other things like:
She has no qualifications
She seems to be an idiot when it comes to any policies
She has loads of self hating bigotry
She is spouting dangerous ideas
Like most Republicans she is terrible with money
She supports the vicious bigoted hateful policies of the Trumpsters.
RoughRugger
“I’m totes pro-trans!” says the guy who blows his entire comment-load deadnaming & misgendering a trans individual.
What if I told you it were 100% possible…simple even!…to rip Jenner a new asshole WITHOUT referring to her as “IT”?
Harley
I use the pronoun “it” when referring to Jenner. I have compassion for the trans community but it is so anti-trans it’s pitiful. It’s a total waste of skin.
BigJohnSF
She meant “great time a broad”
Cam
Spent $900,000 and dropped by 50% in the poll. Really great job there by Brad Parscale as campaign manager.
TomG
It’s time for Caitin to just live out the rest of her life quietly and out of the public eye..
JRamonMc
Unfortunately her whole life has been in front of camera’s and turning that whole narcissistic lifestyle off is easier said than done.
Gandalf The Grey
I agree Tom. Time for her to go away!

The whole recall thing seems like an enormous waste of money and time – the Republicans paid people to stand in front of Target and Walmart and collect enough signatures for a recall, but the Republicans have failed to come up with a credible candidate. How inept and what an irresponsible waste of California taxpayer money – the recall will cost $276 million according to ABC news! Jeez.
Chrisk
This was forced on us by the Republicans trying to get a foot hold in California. They know recalls are the only way in hell they’ll get the Governor job.
Toofie
Yes, just a waste of money. He’s up for re-election next year. Vote him out then if you want.
SDR94103
get lost, hag.
IanHunter
Isn’t about time she checks into a nursing home?
jsmu
C*ntlyn turned herself from a fairly good-looking man into a woman uglier than sin. And that’s the most notable thing about this skank!
Fahd
Just noticed that Omarosa was on Big Brother Australia too. lol Who knew? I guess that’s what Robin Roberts meant when she said “Bye, Felicia!”.
petej
Caitlyn, you don’t look happy in the photo. Campaign not going well? Constipation from too much travel?
nicholsr
Good heavens, Caitlyn Jenner looks like “Walter” with hair from JeffDunham.com
Hdtex
THAT is one ugly DUDE!
Chrisk
F*ck you and your anti trans BS. Go back under your bridge.
GrizzleyMichael
Did take a look at her picture? God what a sourpuss. What an ugly troll and she should be banned for running for Governor of California if you don’t follow the rules.
Invader7
LOSER !!!
Ellipse Kirk
Who cares?
rickywintour
Obviously you do sweetheart if your commenting.
Peter
$500,000 for an appearance on a goddamn reality show in Australia? Do you know many families could live off that money in a year? This is part of what’s wrong with society — we place value on what’s unimportant. I cannot stand her and the family she’s a part of — all self-centered trash. She has no business running for governor of CA; haven’t we learned our lesson in the election of unqualified celebrities?
greekboy
Has anyone ever told this bitch that she has “man hands.”
dali
Shame on Big Brother Australia for having this disgusting human being on your show. Cowards!
By the way, CJ, we can see your peepee in those pants.
ryepie2222
I thought she had it cut off? Anyway, she’s an anti trans hag. She has been given every advantage in life and this is how she chooses to live it and it’s pathetic.
BoomerMyles
Jenner is an anti-trans freak.
JromeGervais09
What a bunch of losers in that lame candidate pool for governor. The choices are: Actor who I’ve never heard of; Olympian FTrans; Big Brother dope; NFL Captain; Actress/model who is an unknown; another model; Reality TV whatever; once again a model; one more reality TV dope; NRL Star or loser; Political chump; and another reality TV so called star. Have any of them ever balanced their own check book by themselves?
kevininbuffalo
The media really needs to stop making news stories out of Twitter posts. It’s lazy journalism.
Cam
Zero problems with them mocking Jenner for her idiotic campaign.
