Caitlyn Jenner's Conservative Views Create Tension On 'I Am Cait'

Jenner's views on social programs don't go over so well with her friends.

 
 

Caitlyn Jenner's conservative views create some tension among a group of her friends in a clip from Sunday night's episode of Jenner's docuseries, "I Am Cait." 

 

While the group discusses homeless and unemployed transgender people, Jenner says, "Don't, a lot of times, they can make more not working with social programs than they actually can with an entry-level job?"

 

"I'd say the great majority of people who are getting help are getting help because they need help," a friend answers.

 

"But you don't want people to get totally dependent on it. That's when they get in trouble. ‘Why should I work? I got a few bucks, I got my room paid for,'" Jenner responds, while the rest of the group appears visibly uncomfortable. 

 

"Now I'm worried," LGBT activist Jenny Boylan later tells the camera.  

 

"Caitlyn has every right to be just as conservative as she choses, but many transgender men and women need social programs to survive, and that's nothing to be ashamed of," Boylan says. "Living in the bubble is an impediment to understanding other people. Cait's going to be a spokesperson for the community. This is something she's going to have to understand."

In Jenner's revealing "20/20" interview with Diane Sawyer in April, the former Olympian said she is a Republican. When Sawyer asked Jenner if she cheered on Obama after he recognized the transgender community during a State of the Union address, Jenner replied:

 

"He actually was the first one to say the actual word transgender, I will certainly give him credit for that. But not to get political, I've just never been a big fan -- I'm kind of more on the conservative side," she said.

 

UPDATE: This post has been updated to reflect that the episode aired on Sunday, Aug. 2.

Again, people wanting to live off the dole because of their preferences. How anyone would want to be liberal is beyond me. Bunch of moochers. And if not moochers, then enablers...

ROFLMFAO!!!!

So Bruce/Caitlyn can be a hero, spokesperson, and role model--as long as he doesn't stray from the liberal mantra on any issues.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.

Think it's time for Jenner to just shut up.

He's pretty much become no one.

Not a man, not a woman, not a liberal, not a conservative.

I'm ready for people to say "Caitlyn who?", because he's been forgotten.

I am so not interested in Cait/Bruce.

Why she deserves her own show boggles my mind.

This would be an example of social liberal and economic conservative. I find it hilarious people think everyone has to be sheep b/c they agree on ONE issue.

Okay, I worked from home yesterday and got curious. I watched it. Is it intended to be a comedy?
