Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympian and reality TV star, announced Friday she plans to run to replace California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in an expected recall election later this year.

"I'm in! California is worth fighting for," she tweeted Friday morning.

I suspect ahe'll get about the same number of votes as she got like for that tweet. What a waste of space.

And the freak show that is California continues...

Joking aside, though, it's not unusual for a celebrity to mistake their fame (or, in Jenner's case, infamy / pseudo-fame) for political clout, but in past successful cases (e.g., Reagan, Schwartzenegger), the celebrity was actually intelligent. I don't really see that applying to Jenner. I'm sure she'll get thousands of votes from wokeys and dumb fans of the Kardashian clown show she was/is on, but I can't imagine her being considered a serious candidate by a majority or even sizeable plurality of California voters.

However, stranger things have happened (e.g., Trump), so I'm not willing to bet any money on her losing even though I'm mostly certain she will.

Jenner, a former Olympic gold medalist who is transgender, told TMZ that banning participation of transgender student athletes in girls' competitive sports is "a question of fairness," the same position Republican leaders in red states have taken.

She was approached Saturday in Malibu by a TMZ reporter who asked where she stood on the transgender athletes issue. "This is a question of fairness. That's why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls' sports in school," Jenner said in brief remarks before getting in her car. "It just isn't fair. And we have to protect girls' sports in our schools."

I mean, she isn't wrong on that one issue but I'm sure the mouth-frothing activists and Twitter bluechecks will freak. But, it is entertaining to me to wonder how they're gonna have to contort their delusional brains to try to claim that a transgender woman is somehow anti-trans (I'm sure it'll follow the same pattern as when the wokeys attack and hurl racist insults at black conservatives).

However, she's not doing herself any favors by complaining that her uber-rich friends are packing up their private aircraft hangars and fleeing California to get away from all the mean ol' dirty homeless people.
