Caitlyn Jenner confirmed rumors she intends to run for governor of California to replace Gavin Newsom in the recall election.
“I’m in!” the former Olympian and reality star, 71, wrote on Friday. “Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.”
Well, many people on social media want Jenner, a longtime Republican, out.
Hours after her announcement, “HELL NO” began trending on Twitter with various celebrities weighing in.
“You are running as a Republican?! Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth,” Alyssa Milano tweeted.
With all due respect, @Caitlyn_Jenner, you are running as a Republican?! Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth. HELL NO.
Author and transgender activist Jennifer Finney Boylan also reacted to the news. (Boylan appeared on Jenner’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoff show, I Am Cait.)
“I said everything I have to say when I co-starred on her series. She is my friend, but yes, I did once hit her with a rolled up newspaper,” Boylan tweeted along with a telling photo.
I’m not going to be commenting on Caitlyn Jenner’s candidacy for CA governor. I said everything I have to say when I co-starred on her series. She is my friend, but yes, I did once hit her with a rolled up newspaper.
Kathy Griffin, who is a family friend of the Kardashians, retweeted singer-songwriter Ricky Davila’s message.
“As a gay Californian, I’ll never vote for Caitlyn Jenner Kardashian. She’s unqualified, loathsome, selfish and her views are abhorrent,” he wrote, noting how she is surrounding herself with some who are still loyal to Donald Trump. (Jenner was reportedly spotted dining with the former president’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale.)
As a gay Californian, I’ll never vote for Caitlyn Jenner Kardashian. She’s unqualified, loathsome, selfish and her views are abhorrent. To top all that off, her campaign website is being hosted by a platform that was created by criminal MAGA lunatic Brad Parscale. No thanks.
Griffin also called out one of Jenner’s campaign images, which features her driving a vintage car with her dog in the passenger seat. (In 2015, Jenner was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu that killed Kim Howe, 70.)
“Caitlyn driving a car was not the best choice for her official campaign photo,” Griffin tweeted.
