Caitlyn Jenner, the reality star and former Olympian who is running as a Republican in California's gubernatorial recall election, has been embarrassing herself online with a series of strange answers during various interviews.
During a recent appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity, for instance, Jenner expressed a fairly strong opinion about high-speed rail in California.
Jenner commented to Hannity:
"Here's my crazy thinking. We are now spending billions of dollars on this high-speed rail, OK, and they talk about it all the time, between LA and San Francisco. And I'm going, 'Why are we doing that?' I can get on a plane at LAX, and I'll be in San Francisco in 50 minutes. Why do we need high-speed rail?"
Caitlyn Jenner wonders why high speed rail is needed between LA and SF since people can just fly https://t.co/5K1V2BJ2Wh— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1620265724.0
Twitter was quick to make fun of Jenner, who didn't seem to understand jumping on a private jet like Jenner isn't an option for most people.

Jenner failed to mention what people should do if they don't have a plane in a private hanger as she does.

Jenner is just like you or me—a former Olympian from a lifetime of privilege whose family had a television show and would rather take her private plane than take the train.
Oh my god. She’s even dumber than I ever could’ve possibly imagined. https://t.co/BlJ5ASG5Wo— United States Worker’s Party (@United States Worker’s Party) 1620280506.0
Jenner seems to have a talent for putting her foot in her mouth.
She fits right in with other Republican politicians.
