Caitlyn Jenner Officially Joins Fox News as Contributor

[demmiblue]

Reality-TV star and failed GOP gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner can now add paid political pundit to her résumé. Fox News announced Thursday that the network has hired the former Olympic champion as an on-air contributor. Jenner will make her first appearance on Sean Hannity’s show Thursday evening. “Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.” Scott touting Fox’s hiring of a “trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community” comes as the network’s hosts and commentators have blasted Disney for pushing what it calls a “progressive LGBT agenda” to “sexualize our children.” Jenner, who came out as transgender in 2015, added in her own statement: “I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to Fox News Media’s millions of viewers about a range of issues that are important to the American people.” Jenner has been a Fox News fixture over the years, largely to promote her Quixotic run for California governor or to rail against trans women competing in female sports.

1. And no one will give a shit....... nt

[SunSeeker]

2. She is such a fucking idiot. Why would anyone want her opinion on politics? nt

[a kennedy]

3. 😂 🤣 😂 and who really cares....... 😂 🤣 😂

[calguy]

4. This should fit right in with the GOP's war with the LGBT population.

[MineralMan]

5. FNN - Bringing hypocrisy to you, no matter the source.

Ugh.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

6. When she came out...

I had person after person come to me, saying "Aren't you proud? Isn't this an amazing day?!" I said "No. She never cared about anyone but herself before coming out, she won't care about anyone but herself now that she's out. Once a Kardashian, always a Kardashian." I predicted it'd be a repeat of Renee Richards, who transitioned, got the support of the LGBTQ community when trying to resume her (so-called) career, then left us all in the dust.

Well, as usual, leave it to a Kardashian to win the race to the bottom, because she makes Richards look like a vocal advocate. She's backstabbed and punched down on the trans community since day one.

What's my point? That's exactly what the fuck her new job with Fux is about... She'll be the trans version of Stacey Dash or Phyllis Schlafly. She'll gleefully punch down on trans people on the air, fuel and support their bigotry, so Fux can turn around and see "See, trans people? Your own queen thinks you're ungrateful, asking for ponies, etc... She doesn't agree with you! So shut the hell up and obey her!"

I'd "thank" you for nothing, Kardashian... But nothing would be an improvement over what you're about to give us.

[Mosby]

20. She's not a Kardashian.

Her six kids are Jenners. Her 3rd wife was a Kardashian by marriage.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

26. If they act like a Kardashian and seeks the camera like a Kardashian...

Then she's a Kardashian.

[tblue37]

35. Only Kylie & Kendall are Jenners. The others are Robert Kardashian's kids.

[Mosby]

36. Kaitlyn Jenners biological children

Burt Jenner

Cassandra Marino

Brandon Jenner

Brody Jenner

Kendall Jenner

Kylie Jenner

[tblue37]

37. Oh, I thought you were referring to the Kardashians. Sorry.

[dalton99a]

7. A shocking development

[Initech]

8. Now the chicken roots for Col. Sanders?

[milestogo]

9. When you think something can't get worse it always does.

[Atticus]

10. Same question I have about Kanye: "You have expertise in what field that justifies caring

about anything you say?"

Hm-m-m?

[hunter]

11. A trans person joins an organization that beats up trans people. How does this even happen?

There is precedent. At the risk of criticism by Godwin's law, there were plenty of leaders in the Nazi Party who were hiding some stuff in their closets.

The Republican Party is a similar organization.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. It's beyond me

The GOP would literally exterminate all trans people if they could get away with it, but here's a well known trans person shelling for her would be exterminators.

I have a couple friends here in West Michigan that are gay and Republican, I tried to explain to them that they were supporting one of the local candidates who literally wants to fight to make it OK for them to lose their jobs and apartments just because of who they are. They said they don't vote social issues... Um, you don't vote for your own right to exist, live, have a home, and work?

[IngridsLittleAngel]

16. I do

But, some others don't vote for their own right to live and exist... They have names like "Log Cabin Republican" and "Caitlyn Kardashian".

"I guess my money is more important than my rights." Swell. Then they should sell their own rights and quit trying to take us down with them.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

27. Well...

Unlike some people, at least I get her first name right.

If she acts like a Kardashian and seeks the camera like a Kardashian...

[Duncan Grant]

38. Off-topic, side bar:

As I understand it, all/most of the “homosexual” SA members were killed on June 30, 1934. By September 1939, most/many queer people were being “detained” at places like Buchenwald. I’m not aware of any significant numbers of senior level Nazis who were lgb or t. If there’s any recent scholarship on that, I’d like to know more. Thx!

[helpisontheway]

12. Exactly where she belongs...nt

[hlthe2b]

13. She truly doesn't get how absolutely pathetic she comes off to even those who'd ordinarily defend &

support her. But having so often proven she's not worth a plug nickel, I don't care what happens with her. She's sold herself to Fox as the Trans version of Candace Owens with all the degrading, ignorance that implies. So be it.

[Sanity Claws]

14. So that others on Faux News has someone to snicker about?

I really don't get it. She doesn't appeal to the demographics of Faux News or anyone else for that matter. The only reason I can think Faux News wants her is because their stupid biased staff want someone to punch down to, someone to laugh about behind her back.
I just don't see this working out well for Caitlin but I don't really care, do you?

[montanacowboy]

17. Pathetic

Nt

[leftstreet]

18. LOL it's actually smart

The Democrats stake positions on rights and social issues that threaten to expose the hatefulness of rightwingers and GOPers who are opposed.

So the right then offers their approved "inclusiveness" in the form of a nutty rightwing mouthpiece

[Boomerproud]

31. And neither side will care.

[Mad_Machine76]

19. Well great

They have a token Trans person willing to endorse/spew their transphobic garbage

[Duncan Grant]

22. With an estimated net worth of $100M?

Caitlyn Jenner has more wealth and privilege than billions and billions of people. It seems to me that she’ll offer no substantive advocacy for anyone other than herself. Much less, the trans community.

This has to be a Fox News culture war maneuver. The campaign was probably storyboarded before Caitlyn was even approached. C’mon, these kind of deals don’t happen by accident, right?

[Initech]

32. Her only allegiance is to the almighty dollar and that's about it.

She couldn't care less about actually supporting the cause or anything. Talk about someone who is voting against their best interests.

[Raine]

24. I don't see how she's enough of an expert on anything

that she will be speaking on other then her trashy greedy disfunctional family.

[taxi]

29. Your entire statement is true. Giving some thought as to why her -

She wouldn't need to have knowledge or expertise on a subject and speak to it. All she needs to do is segue to the next cheeseball and chum the waters along the way; they target a demographic and she sets the tone. For that she's willing to be the mouthpiece.

[11 Bravo]

25. I wonder which bathroom she'll be allowed to use.

[LiberatedUSA]

28. The one marked Orgies & Keybumps. N/t

[IcyPeas]

30. Lady Gaga Doesn't Want to Get Coffee With Caitlyn Jenner

In the video, Jenner is seen approaching Gaga and asking her if she was still in Malibu. When Gaga answered in the affirmative, Jenner continued, “I haven’t seen you at the Starbucks in a while!” Gaga shrugged, “Well, I’ve switched baristas,” before signaling an end to the conversation and moving on. The two exchanged polite good-byes — a “Good seeing you” from Jenner and a “You, too” from Gaga — but the awkwardness remains in all of us now.

33. Well, that ought to lose them some viewers. Don't MAGA hate trans people? nt

[tblue37]

34. She knows nothing about politics or current events.

[lindysalsagal]

39. The gqp hates LGBT people. WTF?

????

[vercetti2021]

40. She can fuck off

Us transwomen will never accept her as our role model. She has stabbed us all in the back by aligning herself with the fascists. She will go on to Fox and spout all her transphobic horseshit. She is their token trans woman

[IngridsLittleAngel]

41. Exactly right

I didn't accept her as a role model when she came out, as I knew she would only seek to lift herself up. She's been even worse than I expected - not only lifting only herself, but punching down on and stabbing us in the back.

That's also exactly what her new job is about: Going on Fux to spout transphobic shit - because she's transphobic as fuck besides herself. She gets money and TV time. Fux gets to bash us over the head with her. Everyone goes home happy... except for us.

[vercetti2021]

42. Wonder what bathroom is will be allowed to use there

They should stick her on the traffic report. Suits her. I wonder if Blair White is pissed off all her self hating transphobic shit didn't get her a spot on Faux.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

43. My guess?

She has her very own special gold-plated bathroom, complete with replicas of her gold medals hanging in there.

You're right that Blair White is probably furious that it's Caitlyn getting the gig, and not her. Well, don't give up, Blair... OAN may call.

[vercetti2021]

44. I watch Blaire once in a while

I have to see how self hating someone can be. Like stupid bitch has no allies. The right sees her as a useful token, but they still misgender her. Us trans fucking despise her ass because she never helps our community.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

45. I only really know Blair by name and reputation.. Never watched her myself..

But yep, the epitome of a useful idiot. Self-loathing, and therefore has no problem attacking the rest of her community. The right love it, yet... don't love her and never will. They misgender her and the like. But that's okay - Blair hates herself, and, the QOP hates her.. But they found a "purpose".

I feel the same way about anyone who turns their back on their community. Renee Richards used to piss me off until Caitlyn came along to say "Hold my beer". I've also reacted the same way to LGB's who attack their own community, or say "My money is more important than my rights" or "I don't want to get married, so... Go ahead and ban same-sex marriage!"

Sad.

[vercetti2021]

46. Yep

I do watch Samantha Lux though. She is a absolute queen who calls out these assholes, like Blaire, Cait, Matt Walsh and the ilk.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

47. I do need to watch more Samantha more often

Thank you for reminding me

[vercetti2021]

48. Here you go

51. +1000

[MissMillie]

50. ah... pulling in the real brain power, I see (/sarcasm)

Do they think they're going to get the LGBTQ+ folks to start watching?
