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:

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.

Very good.
Lucky for us Conservatives. This sicko is a Conservative. In a more sane age he would have received psychological help not a mutilation.
Calling an unhealthy abnormality old fashioned and wholesome. Let’s see who falls for it—the business, academic and political geniuses running the sideshow for their own unhealthy, spoiled relatives or the peasants robbed by them.
The leftist reaction to Jenner and those gay hoteliers shows us the real face of the intolerant ones.
Two words...

Yes. They are quite the totalitarians --real fascists.
Some folks here are as messed up as those on the Left.
>>he is about as conservative as toe-fungus
He’s “Conservative” {uhhh} “but Progressive”.
There’s nothing conservative about abominating nature.
>>“Transitioning” aside, why couldn’t he be a conservative politically?
Why can’t you pick up a turd by the clean end?
I know. I have a cousin, same age as me, only a week apart in 1955, that has had psoriasis all her life. I have small spots here and there, and my daughter has it as well. It's just something you live with .........
I wouldn’t know. I’ve never met the guy. He was willing to take a huge hit to say he was conservate, so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he leans conservative on some issues and that he feels strongly about it.
If, say, he were to state he was supporting Cruz for president, I wouldn’t be upset about it. How many guys supporting Cruz have drinking problems? How many have cheated on their spouse? Jenner’s warts are on his face for all to see. So what?
Maybe, just maybe, you can believe in individual liberty and the Constitution and still make ridiculously bad decisions in your personal life.
If Barack Obama or Hillary said they were conservative, I guess some FReepers would cheer and say we should support them now.
If they supported Cruz for president, would you then oppose Cruz?
It doesn’t change Cruz
