Caitlyn Jenner cruelly mocked by Bill Maher with ‘transphobic’ & crude ‘sack’ joke over California governor run
BILL Maher slammed Caitlyn Jenner in a cruel “transphobic” joke while discussing her run for California governor on his show.

Maher opened Friday’s episode of his show, Real Time, with the crude crack about Jenner.
“How about this for news: Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor,” he said.
“I know you think of her as a reality show star, but come on, people change. She is trans, rested and ready.
“She’s got a great slogan: take the ‘sack’ out of Sacramento.”

This was not the first time Maher has made off-color cracks about the former Olympian and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star.
He once claimed: “Bruce Jenner is an idiot. Adding t**s didn’t make him a genius.”
Jenner launched an official “Caitlyn for California” website to announce her run this week.

“California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality,” the website says.
“But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people.
“Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.”

Jenner is a longtime Republican and was formerly slammed when she was spotted driving around wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
If Jenner succeeds in ousting Newsom – whose business-disrupting pandemic response has fueled a recall drive – it will be the first time the Republicans have won the state since 2003, when Arnold Schwarzenegger led the way.
On Friday, Jenner tweeted: “Our campaign will be powered by everyday Californians who deserve leadership that is accountable to them, not the special interests in Sacramento.”
