Newly-announced California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner has made her campaign official with a new video announcement…in which her name is misspelled.
The video positions Jenner as an anti-COVID-19 precaution candidate, criticizing sitting Gov. Gavin Newsom for requiring masks and social distancing during the pandemic. She also attacks Newsom for ill-defined “insider policies.”
The press release which went out with the video, however, misspelled Jenner’s name as “Cailyn,” USA Today reports.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Why are we not surprised?
The video–and its misspelled presser–comes after Jenner’s candidacy has already endured harsh criticism from the public. Over the weekend, Jenner declared that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in school sports, apparently endorsing a number of discriminatory laws passed by states such as Idaho and Arkansas. Her family has also apparently advised her against her run, fearing that she will only embarrass herself in the proposed recall of Newsom this fall.
We can’t help but notice that the new campaign video opens with Ms. Jenner rifling around in her closet, digging up her gold medal from the 1976 Olympics. It’s almost like a visual metaphor of her searching through her life…for her dignity.
Check out the video, and consider yourself warned.

Setting aside that she couldn’t even be bothered to proofread her own press release.
You have to love how she’s trying to get a boost from her Gold Medal. I’m sure it’s something that her kiss a** assistants will still bring up to her, but if she got that in 1975, only people over 60 were probably paying attention enough for it to have been a big deal to them.
And how many of them now still think it is a big deal all these years later?

So she doesn’t support her trans brothers and sisters so I’m wondering; is caitlyn a chick with a dick or a guy with tits?
DarkZephyr
She’s had bottom surgery.

Mangina!

What do you expect from the Republican Party? This is a “norm” for them to misspell and make up words. Hell the Orange Turd did it all the time and the ignorant followers ate it up.

“It’s not about one person. It’s about all of us…” as she stands alone on a cliff… LOL

So typical of Silly Queens to focus on a typo rather than the message that major cities in California (oh and also San Francisco) have become open air drug markets and toilets. Hi-LAR-ious!!!
Cam
So typical of the same right wing troll account under it’s new name, to not only use an anti-gay pejorative, and tries to deflect from the fact that Caitlyn wants to run the state but can’t even be bothered to proof her own first announcement, but also to keep trying to push out the Republican lie about California.
When Republicans ran California it had massive deficits, since Democrats completely took over it has run multi-billion dollar surpluses. During that same time frame, red state like Kansas and Oklahoma put in Republican economic policies and went broke to the point where they were actually trying to cut the school year because they couldn’t afford to run their schools.
Republicans have to lie about California and other blue states so their voters don’t realize just how much the GOP has screwed their own states.

@Cam
“under IT’S new name”
TYPO!!!!

@MissTerri
Be more relevant if I was running for governor and mispelled my own name.
But funny, I didn’t notice you correct your lies about blue states.

Whiule republican states and cities are all at the very bottom of life expectancy, maternal deths per capita and always and I mean always at the very bottom of school performance because the OLNLY thing the QOP is interested in is staying in power even as they do absolutly nothing for the people in their home states.
Mr. Stadnick
Get a life you nasty horrid troll

So what is your solution? Since you brought it up. Or even better, what is her solution?

The video is preposterous and hilarious. Seemed like an SNL parody. She doesn’t have any idea how to solve California’s problems. She must deep down know that not everyone can live overlooking the sea in Malibu.
California voters like a good joke, so if she can gather enough money for her campaign (Meg Whitman spent $180 million and lost), I’m not counting her out.
AllanW
Another brainless media-whore with zero qualifications – given the state of US politics, she should b a shoo-in
Liquid Silver
You’d think, but she’s not running as a Democrat where there might be a chance she’d just barely squeeze through before the word got out about her.
Republicans would never vote for a transwoman.
LumpyPillows
The fact that I do not like her aside, she is dumb as a stump and no way qualified or able to do the job.
amanwithanedge
gross
Mr. Stadnick
Stop covering her and she’ll go away. She isn’t going to win. Republicans aren’t going to vote for her because she is trans. She could say let’s end all abortion and make Jim Crowe laws applicable again and they still wouldn’t vote for her. She is less likely than Angelyne to win!
DarkZephyr
She’s running again? Wow. I recall when she ran in 2003.
Kangol2
She’s a buffoon, whether she misspells her name or not. She has zero solutions for anything, she’s an extreme narcissist just like Don the Con, and she is utterly unqualified to be dogcatcher, let alone governor of the largest and richest state in the US.
Seriously, California has more than enough qualified people to run on the major party lines that they don’t have to stoop to a clown like this woman. California has been ruined by Republicans more than once, so just say no to all of them, but especially this one.
wooly101
No matter what she says, I can’t get past the fact it’s a guy in a dress.
Chrisk
Wow. You’re transphobia is strong.
BoomerMyles
That’s definitely how her party will see her.
CityguyUSA
Last I heard the meat stick still hung. Shows you her level of commitment. She can always go back.
charette8596
If you watch the video on utube and read the comments, 90% of the them are positive and encouraging towards CJ. Just the opposite of this forum.
Cam
Except when I checked the Youtube video from FOX News, her announcement had 6000 thumbs up and 8000 thumbs down.
So, no.
ScottOnEarth
Attacking Newsom for taking measures to protect the health and lives of Californians during a deadly pandemic. Just when I didn’t think Caitlyn could be ANY DUMBER or more obnoxious. I doubt her progressive children support any of her twisted views, let alone the majority of Californians.
Cam
Oh and one more thing. California now has one of the lowest Covid rates in the U.S. while red states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Oklahoma, etc. have some of the highest, yet Caitlyn tries to attack Newsome over his Covid performance??
BoomerMyles
Caitlyn’s ad would have gotten more republican votes if they spelled the name B-R-U-C-E.
