Caitlyn Jenner took her side show act doomed gubernatorial campaign to San Francisco yesterday, where she toured the city’s Tenderloin district, a neighborhood plagued with homelessness, crime, and illicit drug use.
“[Gov.] Gavin [Newsom] is spending millions of dollars and getting no results whatsoever,” Jenner told local media as she eyed the streets with disgust. “It’s getting worse! Where is all this money going?”
The statement was ironic considering that Jenner’s campaign is over $156,000 in debt after burning through more than $910,000 on stuff like sushi dinners staff meetings and limo rides transportation. Just last week, she had to donate $25,000 of her own money to try and keep her campaign afloat with three weeks still to go before the election.

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.
The 71-year-old reality TV star, who doesn’t believe in global warming or mask mandates, went on to say that there needs to be a change in how city and state leadership tackles crime and homelessness, though she didn’t actually offer any details about what she would do, other than strip money from non-profits who she doesn’t think are doing a good enough job.
“Nothing is getting done,” she criticized. “Absolutely nothing is getting done.”
Last month, Jenner suggested rounding up all the homeless people in California and dropping them off in “an open field out in some place” where they can presumably kill each other off without disrupting the rest of society.
“We have to provide some place for those people to go, whether it’s an open field out in some place,” Jenner told Inside California Politics, adding, “The crime rate is going up … It’s mostly homeless-on-homeless murders. We can’t have that in our streets.”

In addition to her campaign operating in the red, Jenner’s poll numbers are absolutely abysmal. A survey conducted 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.

Remember to vote NO in the recall election!
Jenner is no longer a threat. Larry Elder is, if the Yes vote prevails.

It’s a anyone but Newsom vote for them. Elder is just the best of the worst to them.

@Vince: The stakes are way higher than many realize. If Sen. Feinstein (age 88!) dies in office, the governor names her replacement. A Republican CA governor therefore would flip the U.S. Senate to 51-49 Republican!

Under Newsome California just ran a $40 billion dollar surplus while Republican run states like Kansas and Oklahoma went bankrupt.

God put that ugly bitch out of her misery or out of ours

even thought she doesn’t have hers anymore, she has the balls to say and do things that are just cringey.

Did it have the reassignment surgery? I hadn’t heard if it is post-op other than fake boobs.

This person is a worthless waste of flesh. No actual solution to ANY problem She is horrible and deserves to be embarrassed with this laughable election polling

I find it sad that she could’ve been someone respected and a real role model. She chose to side with the very people that absolutely hate people like her. Now everyone hates her. I think at the end of the day even her conservative friends look at her as a sell out.

Just a reminder, but California is one of the states leading the US’s economic recovery. Also, California’s Democratic-leaning counties are among the biggest economic generators in the US. Counties that voted for Biden and that have high vaccination rates accounted for 71% of aggregate US GDP (gross domestic product) in 2020, compared to 29% for Don the Con-supporting counties, and it’s only increased in 2021. Gavin Newsom has his flaws, but he is 100x better than his Republican predecessor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and would be 1,000,000x better than any of the lunatic RepubliQans trying to replace him, including anti-gay misogynist Larry Elder!

I might love you for posting this. Good for the occasional troll that shows up on here to see facts. It scares them and it makes their brains shrivel.

Finally time to get rid of worthless greaseball gruesome newsom. Just what has this thieving and lying greaseball done for the gay community much less than California other than keep jacking us the costs of living to nosebleed heights only to finance his personal agenda and fantasies? Bottom line : gruesome newsom doesn’t give a rats ass about anyone but himself. If you need proof of this take a look and smell at California, especially San Francisco, the new ‘doo-doo’ capital of the USA and the calcutta, nairobi, mogadishu and port au prince of the west coast

There are maybe one or two candidates that have minimal experience but the majority of them including Trump’s “sla**”, sorry, i meant “helper”, have no political experience. Jenner is a disaster. Elder is even farther to the right than Trump somewhere between Marjorie “PLEASE DROP A HOUSE ON HER” Greene and Donald The Filler of Diapers.
Newsom must RETAIN his seat.
Fun fact; Code of this special recall election is $276 million to the taxpayers of California. The fiscally conservative GOP at its finest.
Doug
I didn’t know she was in SF yesterday, glad I missed her. Of course she’s going to badmouth Newsom, with no chance of ever winning the recall election. Why doesn’t come to her senses and just give up? Go back to Malibu, Caitlyn, you have no future in politics!

Queerty,
I understand it is your obligation to report both sides to a story, but enough of Caitlyn Jenner, who so far as only shown that “male or female, dumb is dumb.”
Until she has something to say , it may be best to use your valuable space for something of real interest to our LBGTQ community.
Seth
A traitor to her own community is running as a candidate for the party of traitors.
How utterly groundbreaking. That trainwreck has gotten old. Next.
