As she enters the home stretch of her doomed gubernatorial campaign, Caitlyn Jenner is once again reminding everyone that, 45 years ago, she was an Olympic gold medalist. So why not send her some money?
Yesterday, Jenner tweeted a link to her fundraising page along with the caption: “A lot has changed in the US since I won the gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, but one thing should always remain the same–our love for this country. I am a patriot and I will always fight for California.”

Perhaps the greatest irony here is that Jenner, who is worth an estimated $100 million, is tweeting about her deep commitment to the state of California from a hotel room 8,100 miles away.
The 71-year-old is currently in Australia completing a two-week stint in quarantine before shooting an appearance on Big Brother VIP, for which she is reportedly being paid $500,000.
How about we take this to the next level?

According to Politico, Jenner has raised a little over $400,000 total during her campaign. But the bulk of that money has come from out of state donors, “suggesting her national name ID hasn’t translated into a groundswell of California support.”
Among her biggest donors is alleged LGBTQ ally Angus Mitchell, son of celebrity hairstylist Paul Mitchell, who has given $32,400 to her campaign.
And now, the responses to her fundraising tweet…
“I will always fight for California…” as long as there is a film crew documenting it! #cluelesscaitlyn

Winning a gold medal, 45 years ago(!), is not the same as running a state. You are way out of your league here!

“I will always fight for California.”
Your complete lack of a public service record, relevant experience, and involvement in local communities has determined that is a lie.

It’s up for debate, but you might actually be better at running in circles than trying to run after a public office. Go back to your hanger!!

How can you fight when you don’t even vote. Lord, help us!

No, thank you, Ms. Jenner. I support you as a human being on her path; I find your viewpoint in politics loathsome.

running fast half a century ago, a governor does not make

A recent poll from University of California, Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times found that Jenner is currently polling at just 3%. That’s down from 6% a few months ago.
She claims she doesn’t believe in polls, telling reporters earlier this month, “Honestly, I’m not concerned about the polling. I guarantee you that I am in the lead.”

She’s in the lead at 3%?
TFG claimed he had 30 billion people at his inauguration.
Are her brain and trump’s brain sharing the same accountant?

What brains ?

Its face is melting. Tragic.
Mister P
It is very hard to believe that there are enough suckers out there who actually donated $400,000.00 to her campaign.
Chrisk
Extreme hate for a popular Democratic governor will make you do that.
GrizzleyMichael
If the stupid bitch get $500,000 for being on Big Brother Australia, why doesn’t she uses the money is getting paid for being there.
Chrisk
Bruce already has more money than he could ever spend in his lifetime. Yrah I care about California so much I’m dropping everything to go do some stupid reality show for money I don’t even need. Republicans greed is just epic.

A STUPID EGOMANIAC MORON.
WHAT KIND OF LOSER DONATES TO A CAMPAIGN FOR SOMEONE ALREADY WORTH 100 MILLION DOLLARS.

What is going on with her face? Are the fillers moving? She isn’t looking well.
Mack
She loves California from Australia. LOL.
Cam
Oh, lord, you people and your looks-based commentary. Next up, deadnaming and anti-trans commentary. I would never do such a thing, I’m pretty, perfect, and better than all of you.
Jack
I will say that she has done the impossible. She has united every single American. We all can’t stand her ass. Sit down.
cuteguy
Caitlyn didn’t win a gold medal, Bruce did! Isn’t she deadnaming herself?
BoomerMyles
Jenner is a botoxed mess.

Nothing really new in this article. Caitlyn is tragic. Gosh I hope this election in CA comes out OK for us.
