Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says Caitlyn Jenner is welcome in the Republican Party.
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday, the presidential candidate commented on Jenner, formerly Bruce, who recently made her debut after completing a gender transition.
“If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be safe and have a prosperous economy, vote for me. I’m into addition. I haven’t walked in her shoes. I don’t have all the answers to the mysteries of life. I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope she has found peace,” Graham said.
“I’m a pro-life, traditional marriage kind of guy. But I’m running to be president of the United States. If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party,” he added. As Bruce, Jenner had identified himself as a Republican.
Asked if the GOP should reach out to transgender Americans, Graham said “We’re all in this together.”
“Understanding what you’re getting with Lindsey Graham: I’m pro-life. I believe in traditional marriage without animosity. The courts are going to rule, probably in June, about traditional marriage. I will accept the court’s decision. I will proudly defend the unborn. But if we can’t agree on abortion, let’s talk about taxes.”
On ABC News’s “This Week,” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was asked if he agreed with President Obama about Jenner coming out being an act of courage.
“Well, I think it’s a personal decision. And to me, I don’t know that there’s anything more to comment on. It’s a personal decision,” said Walker, who said he plans to announce his 2016 intentions after the end of the month.
What an idiot. Linzie thinks that people need his okay to be a republican.
Except some of us like Lindsey are "in this" quite a bit more than the rest of us.
How wonderful it must be for him to be able to make decisions like this for the rest of the country without having benefit of our counsel. A true leader.
Lindsay isn’t welcome, though.
Or maybe Lindsey is thinking in terms of doubling his wardrobe....
And why not? The party’s already full of eunuchs.
“I havn”t walked in HER shoes”
I know I have been on the road for a while, so I may have missed it, when did Bruce have his Dickectomy?
First it is a guy not a woman, calling him a woman only helps the left wing and their perverted agenda. Secondly Graham is one of the problems within the GOP.
exactly, he is still a guy regardless of how many surgeries he has had and calling him a woman only backs the perverts left wing agenda.
He didn’t have one.
The people of Sodom & Gomorrah were all in it “together” too, that is until their destruction came up on them in fell swoop.
If you think about...they’re still “together”.
Graham is contemptuous and about as morbid as it gets for the RINO party.
Even after the “Dickectomy” he’ll still have a prostate. No woman has one of those.
Make it stop!
Can’t Miss Lindsey and Caitlyn get together for some tips on using eyeliner? Another thing they both have in common. They both have dicks.
Linda just wants to get into his closet.
> Caitlyn Jenner ‘welcome’ in the Republican Party
It make me pleased that I made the right decision in leaving the Republican Party to join the New Whig Party.
Grahamnesty is just looking for a new best B.B.
Graham, you are NOT WELCOME in the REAL Republican Party and neither will that disturbing creepy mentally unstable moron.
I just looked at the Whigs website, but like most political party they got good points and bad points.
I think Sen. Graham already has the Republican transgendered vote locked-up.
