This just in: Caitlyn Jenner’s financial situation is getting more dire by the day.
The 71-year-old reality TV star, who hates homeless people, has begun dipping into her own personal finances to cover the cost of her vanity project doomed gubernatorial campaign.
Last week, Jenner donated $25,000 to herself, shortly after news broke that her campaign was over $156,000 in debt after burning through more than $910,000 on stuff like sushi dinners staff meetings and limo rides transportation.
Prior to that, the bulk of Jenner’s campaign funds came from a small pool of billionaires, including alleged LGBTQ ally/accused sexual predator Angus Mitchell, son of celebrity hairstylist Paul Mitchell, who gave the maximum of $32,400.
How about we take this to the next level?

Of course, $25,000 is mere pocket change to Jenner. Earlier this summer, she took a month-long break from campaigning to fly down to Australia to film an appearance on the reality show Big Brother VIP, for which she reportedly made $500,000.
Still, when you’re down in the polls (Jenner is currently polling at 3%, down from 6% earlier this year) despite having huge name recognition and you find yourself dipping into your personal bank account to finance your run for office, that’s not a good sign.
Speaking to local media yesterday, Jenner, who doesn’t think trans athletes should be able to compete in sports, said she’s not worried about all the alarm bells going off around her with three weeks still to go before the election.
“We have a lot of undecideds and Democrats who are undecided,” she said. “Me being center-right really helps the issue, because I’m inclusive to all peoples.”

In that same interview, Jenner took a few moments to rail against mask mandates, despite the fact that there is a huge spike in COVID-19 cases all across the country right now, and to deny climate change, despite the raging wildfires, droughts, and extreme weather events the country has been experiencing all summer.
“I’m not a big believer in climate change, this and that,” she said. “Our climate has been changing. We used to be in an Ice Age here. The climate has continued to change. What are the reasons for that? Is it because you’re driving a car? I don’t quite go with that.”
She continued, “I think the climate is constantly changing, but I don’t know if it’s because of humans. I think it’s because of the big ol’ sun up there.”

Jenner is one of those politicians who would have done better if she’d never given an interview or said a word.
Stefano
Exactly.
G-Man
I don’t think she really classifies as a politician, she’s just like Trump and reality TV person.
Matthewnow
I hope she spends a ton her money and comes in dead last. She is so far detached from reality.
A legend in her own small, unevolved mind. Pathetic.

She’s never getting elected, not this time or any other time. Keep funding your failed campaign.

“I’m not a big believer in climate change, this and that,”
Gurl, science doesn’t care if you believe in it or not.

Even the effing California Republicans are with the climate change science because California is experiencing it year after year first hand.
This train wreck needs to go back into her bubble of comfort and privilege and just STFU already.

Bit of luck she will bankrupt herself and therefore be debarred from public office
jcool
she might be the reason brody jenner got jumped at his birthday celebration in vegas this week. just sayin.
Chrisk
Doubtful. $25,000 is pocket change for someonr that’s worth $100 million.

Bitch if you hate homeless people why not help them off the streets and buy a decent apartment building instead of lining your pockets with money

I so wish that disgusting bitch would walk out in front of a speeding train. The world would be a better place without her in it.

hey Jenner: yes, climate is changing and it is getting worse according to science. your campaign is broke, just exit the race.

Is she trying to set herself up for a new US reality show? One in which she shows what a total disgrace she is? This campaign is going nowhere, so what’s the real aim of this ongoing, useless performance?

I wish I could figure out how to do that thing where the writer does the strike-through thing with some words, but you can still read the words so it’s funny and snarky.
My informants tell me that the “LGBT* for Trump” voters (as few as there are) in California are supporting Larry Elder, not Caitlyn. Who else supports Caitlyn? I can’t imagine. I’m surprised she’s polling at 3%, but maybe its really 0% given the polls margin of error.
Kangol2
Do you mean like this?LOL
BTW, Larry Elder is a gross misogynist who allegedly threatened his ex-wife by waving around a gun. He’s also frequently made anti-LGBTQ remarks. Let’s see if the right-wing people on here defend him or condemn him. He’s repellent.

Dude looks like an an ugly dude

I’ve always said he makes a hideous looking woman.

Talk about overshooting. Why not try to have your children re-elect you as a father first? You probably are polling at 3% there too. Only because Brody is trying not to hate you so much.
BaltoSteve
Why say in spite of name recognition she is polling less than 3%. Perhaps she is polling less than 3% BECAUSE people recognize her and know she’s batshit crazy.
kthcst
this one is such a freaking mess……everytime i even see a picture of her, my eyes HURT and start to bleed…….GO AWAY…..

Caitlyn Jenner is a unifier in politics.
The far left and the far right will happily come together to tell her dumb ass to shut up, already.
