During his interview with Diane Sawyer that aired on Friday night, Bruce Jenner revealed that he’s questioned his gender identity his whole life, that he’s considered suicide, and that he took hormones for the first time in the 1980s — about 30 years ago and before he decided to marry his most recent wife, Kris Jenner.
But nothing shocked the public quite like his admission that he — gasp! — thinks the Constitution is important!
The subject of politics came up after Sawyer asked him how he felt about Obama being the first president to use the word “transgender” in a speech:
”I will certainly give him credit for that,” Jenner responded. “But not to get political, I’ve just never been a big fan. I’m kind of more on the conservative side.”
Sawyer then outright asked Jenner whether he’s a Republican, to which he replied:
“Yeah. Is that a bad thing? I believe in the Constitution.”
All hell broke loose:

I'm open minded but I'm not sure I can accept #BruceJenner as a Republican. 11:08 AM - 27 Apr 2015

When Bruce Jenner said he was a conservative Republican an angel lost their wings. 😑 LGTB Republican backed agendas are like unicorns. 9:54 AM - 27 Apr 2015

Bruce Jenner is so confused, mixed up, messed up, completely out of her ever loving mind....being a conservative republican...sickening. 9:21 AM - 27 Apr 2015
Some people even went so far as to say his being conservative was enough for them to withdraw their support:

hi Bruce Jenner. you had me, until you said you were a republican. you're a stupid fuck. 10:35 PM - 24 Apr 2015
During the interview, Jenner also said that he didn’t believe that either party had a monopoly on “understanding.”
The response to his sharing something as simple as his political beliefs definitely shows that he was right.
he is about as conservative as toe-fungus
....being a conservative republican...sickening. ///
yea, that’s sickening, not getting your testes sawed off lol
My toe fungus is very conservative...............
lol
Jenner - like any freak who wants to be a transgender - is mentally deranged. Sick in the head.
So naturally, he doesn’t know the basic difference between conservatism and liberalism.
He calls himself a conservative? Sure. And he calls himself a woman too.
rofl
It’s my athlete’s foot that kind liberal...........
Jenner does even more damage in that he defines conservatism down.
“Transitioning” aside, why couldn’t he be a conservative politically?
It’s likely going to take 3 or 4 non-blondes to ask “What’s going on”.
Too funny!
lol
You think someone from the Hollywierd-Kardtrashian culture could be a conservative?
He might possibly be conservative economically, but I highly doubt that too.
Agreed. It happens. Sometimes people really go out from left field (right?) in one issue, but mostly are very much left or right.
Don’t know. Never met the guy.
If he’s “only” fiscally conservative, would you be fiscally liberal on an issue just to avoid being on the same side as one of these people, or does everyone have to pass the GeronL purity test before they’re allowed to right about anything?
Jenner didn’t start out in that Kardashian universe, he started out as an athlete. Athletes are, even today, a fairly conservative bunch.
I think he is conservative. He just happens to be totally confused about what is a man and what is a woman.
He has made a ton of money. He wants to keep it. He owns a lot of property. He wants to keep it. His penis and testicles? He doesn’t want to keep them. Err...uh, 2 out of three anyway.
He doesn’t like Obama and believes in the Constitution. I like it.
Who is more Conservative? The Senile Senator from Arizona or Bruce? Lindsay Graham or Bruce Jenner?
If he's for low taxes and less government, that's enough for some people.
Like Barry Goldwater, maybe?
For other people "conservative" means a lot more than that.
Is there anything conservative about him?
