Following news California Governor Gavin Newsom will face a recall election, reality star and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner has announced her candidacy for the office as a Republican.

Although Jenner is a well-known celebrity, her candidacy was greeted without much enthusiasm by Californians.


One notable diss came from Pose star Billy Porter, who used a self-referential meme to throw some shade.

Other notable LGBTQ celebrities and organizations also encouraged Jenner to drop out of the race.

Many also called Jenner out for her lack of a specific platform, accusing her of being a "grifter."


Jenner may be a member of the LGBTQ community as a transgender woman, but her support for transphobic Republican policies has the rest of her community discouraging her from running.



Twitter was quick to back Porter up with some shade of their own.



If Jenner wants to win the LGBTQ vote in California, she's going to have to do more than simply be famous and rich.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
