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. — bill mccuddy (@BillMccuddy) April 27, 2015
When Bruce Jenner said he was a conservative Republican an angel lost their wings. LGTB Republican backed agendas are like unicorns. — LaShunda Sherre’ (@Shun662) April 27, 2015
Bruce Jenner is so confused, mixed up, messed up, completely out of her ever loving mind….being a conservative republican…sickening. — Scott Day (@scottbrianday) April 27, 2015
Some people even went so far as to say his being conservative was enough for them to withdraw their support:
#BruceJenner, i was with ya til i read you’re a conservative Republican. No, no, no! Not another TeaPartyer. Not another Ted Cruz. Ugh! — Claude T (@fakelies) April 27, 2015
Idc about Bruce Jenner wanting to be a lesbo but the fact that (s)he a republican lost him(her) my support — STLunatic (@BPII_) April 25, 2015
hi Bruce Jenner. you had me, until you said you were a republican. you’re a stupid fuck. — Del Stamp (@delzilla) April 25, 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.

Anyone who lies about their sex will lie about everything else. Forget Jenner.
Unless the meaning of “conservative” has changed (like the words “gay” and “queer” did) and the meaning of conservative is empty (as is the designation “Republican, where self-identified Republican politicians don’t even adhere to their own party platform), he’s no conservative.
I think his last wife and that family really screwed him up.
Why would he lie about believing in the Constitution ?
These liberal pukes just don't get it.
A Republican is NOT a member of the Tea Party. Jeez. How hard can it be to read and research before ranting? Or voting.
If you’re sexually confused, the Liberals will stand up and cheer for you. But if you believe in smaller government and lower taxes, THIS WILL NOT STAND! OFF WITH HIS HEAD! BURN THE WITCH!
He’s been cross-dressing for decades.
I guess the mentally ill come in all political stripes, but many more on the left than the right.
More defining conservatism down.
He’s been cross-dressing for decades.
I had no clue. Nothing is sacred anymore!
“Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don’t ever let me find you gone
‘Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it’s glory
Let’s start a brand new story
Now my love, right now
There’ll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I’m here if you should call to me
You think that I don’t even mean
A single word I say
It’s only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
You think that I don’t even mean
A single word I say
It’s only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It’s only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It’s only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away”
I know. It’s sick, and it’s celebrated.
The only reason for Jenner’s popularity this time is that he must be broke. He could change his sexual identity in privete, but obviously decided to make money off of it.
