Fresh off the heels of her crushing defeat in California’s gubernatorial recall election, Caitlyn Jenner is guest-hosting The View today. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is precisely why we can’t have nice things.

The hit morning talk show, is a clear attempt at trolling its own viewers, made the surprise announcement late yesterday, and the response has been, well, shall we have a looksy?
Jesus, why?
So many amazing people in this country and this is who you pick?

Please stop booking Caitlyn Jenner. I’m begging you.

I am so sad about this. I just started watching again but I have zero interest in this woman’s ideas or thoughts. I will sit out til Thursday. Just an awful choice.

Oooh look. It’s Ms “I won’t support trans kids rights but I compete in women’s golf tournaments as a transgender athlete” Republican Caitlyn Jenner. #TheView pic.twitter.com/YBajfpC35i

No, Thank You; I’ll watch anything else other than her interview. Her talking points about trans-youth are a clear present Danger to those who want to be accepted, helped, and heard in our LGBTQIA+ community.

You may have found someone even less qualified than @MeghanMcCain. That’s impressive

This morning, Jenner, who hates homeless people, appeared on the show, where she quickly butted heads with the other co-hosts.
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.
During a discussion about whether the current GOP can attract millennial and Gen Z voters, Jenner, who doesn’t believe trans athletes should be allowed to compete in sports, argued that young Americans “want a Republican party that is more inclusive to other people.”
“There’s gotta be a next generation, and I think they’re out there. And I’m hopeful that they’re out there,” she said, adding that, “The media is against [Republicans]. They won’t give the Republicans a fair break.”

That’s when Sunny Hostin interjected: “With Trump as the head of the Republican Party, I think that’s kinda difficult.”
Jenner, who blames the sun for global warming, admitted Trump had “messaging issues”, to which Hostin replied, “He had a big insurrection issue, and a couple of impeachment issues as well.”
Later, Jenner said that she would 100% consider running for office again, saying, “Would I run again? Yes! It really opened my eyes to political life. It opened my eyes.”
Unfortunately, her mind remains closed.
.@Caitlyn_Jenner calls her run for California governor "one of the most rewarding experiences" and says she would run again after the recall failed: "I want to stay involved."

I loved this country but never bothered to vote and was so bothered by kids in cages but align myself with the very people that put them there.
It was such a rewarding part of your life yet you spent most of it in Australia over some coin. Yeah, right bitch.
Mr. Stadnick
The View has finally made it clear that it is one of the worst pieces of television. Whoopie and Joy must really need the money to be doing this crap.
nowliveit
Just like republicans, she plays the victim card. “Oh, the media is against us”. Bullshit! If they had valuable ideas for all Americans they’d be taken more seriously.
She is a fluff of talking points that are not grounded in any reality. Many of them from the old republican party, not this one that has replaced a party platform with an allegiance to the American wannabe Fuhrer.
She is prejudiced against transgender…and she f’in is one.
She hates homeless people. Absolutely zero compassion. Just like republicans. They think their ideas for America are the only valid ones that are totally against the very idea of how to be a democracy. They play scorched earth because of their self-centered give-it-all-to-the-rich agenda that has ‘trickled upon us’ for 40 years, doing a massive wealth shift from the have nots to the haves.
I kept myself busy this morning during the show.
Max
I watched, just to see what she would say and it was just as expected, along the thought lines you’ve said. my biggest regret was seeing her on an HDTV. yuck.
BoomerMyles
When asked about how is it fair that people with medical emergencies can’t get an ICU bed because they are taken by unvaccinated Covid patients, Jenner callously replied that “no system is fair”. So unnecessary deaths are just a flippant casualty? Does Jenner feel that way about violence against trans people?
And when Jenner said that the vaccine should be a decision made between the individual and their doctor, Joy quipped if Jenner was pro choice then.
Jenner pretended not to hear.
Jenner is vile and clearly couldn’t keep up with the other hosts.
Den
Is Jenner vile, or just stupid? Or are those simply two of her more positive character traits?
Fahd
Jenner is just a circus act now -Dan Quayle was more plausible spouting “talking points”–, and the View is not above playing along. Sad.
Anyone who watched the show has lost time that they will never get back.
My unsolicited advise to the View, limp along with the current hosts and guest hosts for this season and then start from scratch. In case they don’t know, the show has jumped the shark.
Cam
Media executives are right wing.
tjack47
She didn’t cohost as much as appear as a guest. I watched the first two segments, and she wasn’t on those. Since I saw she was going to be on, I deleted the rest.

Wow, good to know I’m not the only one around who thinks the ‘view ‘ is a total waste of intelligence and an hour of valuable time that can’t be recouped. When this show debuted some 25 years ago it was a pleasant discussion with the then ladies that was conducted in a civil, polite and respectable manner. The show had interesting guests with differing opinions and views. Even if they disagreed with the guest, the hosts were polite and acted like grown ups. Barbara Walters somehow could see where things were going and decided to bow out rather than be associated with this toxic waste of time. Over the years it’s become an ultra liberal one ‘view and one view only’ bitch fest and God forbid if as a guest, you’re conservative or your opinion differs from the ‘hosts’ you’re insulted and put down. And who in the hell can stand ‘joyless’ behar and whoopie goldberg, two of the most obnoxious loudmouths around. Time for ABC to cancel the view as it’s run its course but as it’s on ABC, sadly it’ll go on until kingdom come. As for caitlyn jenner, i don’t like her/it as well but as this is America, her opinion is her opinion even if we disagree
barryaksarben
You are so full of shit. You complain about them being liberal which makes them bad in your opinion but all of FOX has been far right since its inception. And the way you described the first few seasons was so damned anti woman as to make me vomit. You like your women nice and quiet and polite – we get it. What a jerk . SO obviously a troll
Mack
We get it, you’re a Trump’s ass kissing conservative.
Cam
Nothing seems to upset the right wing troll account more than women speaking.
Jim
Looks like the will be “The Views” last season. They’re getting desperate for viewers
BLAKENOW
you ass it’s the number one daytime talk show now and it’s always been in the top five for 25 years. ….learn something besides whats on FOX.
MISTERJETT
don’t want to see it? don’t watch.
dhmonarch89
The View is a total waste … they have a 3 minute coming on- then do a 4 minute segment/welcome, then go to 5 minutes of commercials… come back for 4 minutes, then leave for 5-6 minutes of commercials… continue- 3 show, 5 comm for the rest of the show… since it’s a waste, makes since to have a total waste co host!
Harley
Which is why I canceled cable except for internet and I only subscribe to commercial free apps. It’s so nice to watch movies and tv without all those blasted commercials.
KyleMichelSullivan
Now I thank God I never bothered to watch that show. After this, never will…for sure.
M K
I think it’s that she thinks she’s being asked on these kinds of shows because she is relevant and interesting… But in actuality she’s been asked on because she’s a nut ball (not sure if she has nuts or not) and is just being shown what an idiot she is without her realizing. She is so hungry to stay in the public eye.
Harley
She still has all her man parts. She’s too much of a chicken ? to cut them loose.
Tombear
Beware, Ms Jenner is really scary looking with an HD tv. I had nightmares seeing her face!
DarkZephyr
Personally I am bored with everyone always being angry at everything. Caitlyn Jenner sucks, but putting at least one sucky person on The View has always been what made it entertaining. Its amazing how today’s society wants nothing but echo chambers in every aspect of life and existence.
inbama
Lord, all the dog-piling on Jenner is almost making me feel sorry for her.
Sure she’s an attention-hog, but at least she’s not she’s not swinging her meat in the ladies’ sauna at Wi Spa.
Terrycloth
Instead of chopping off her junk , they should have given her a rational functional brain
DarkZephyr
There’s no reason to resort to tacky, disgusting, transphobic rhetoric.
CNY1983
Shes painful and it hurts to even watch her. Caitlyn at the border? Jesus.
dilemmax
I can’t believe she said on live television that she only got the vaccine after her mother got the vaccine. Your mother is not a guinea pig!!
