'What happened to tolerance'? Caitlyn Jenner's support for Cruz makes progs lose it

In a recent interview for The Advocate, Caitlyn Jenner expressed her support for Ted Cruz:

“I like Ted Cruz,” she declares. “I think he’s very conservative and a great constitutionalist and a very articulate man. I haven’t endorsed him or anything like that. But I also think, he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.”

“I get it. The Democrats are better when it comes to these types of social issues. I understand that.” So why support Republicans? “Number 1, if we don’t have a country, we don’t have trans issues. We need jobs. We need a vibrant economy. I want every trans person to have a job. With $19 trillion in debt and it keeps going up, we’re spending money we don’t have. Eventually, it’s going to end. And I don’t want to see that. Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise. The people built it. And they need to be given the opportunity to build it back up.”

Jenner reveals she met Cruz prior to her transition, more than a year ago, “and he was very nice.”

Jenner also said she’d love to be Cruz’s “trans ambassador.” And progressives are embracing her for it.

Just kidding!

What's Caitlyn Jenner going to do in her capacity as "trans ambassador?" Relay messages from Cruz's bigoted ass that we're freaks? Fuck off.
