Given the ratings disaster of Season One of I Am Cait, the E! Channel show dedicated to chronicling the transgender life of the man formerly known as Bruce Jenner, the producers and directors of the show starring America’s most famous “self-identifier” decided to begin Season Two by highlighting the aspect of Jenner’s life far more controversial, far more scandalous than even transgenderism: the fact that Jenner identifies as a Republican.
Sunday night’s episode, titled ‘Politically Incorrect’ follows Jenner, and the transgender friends that the E! Channel hired for him, on a bus ride to the Grand Canyon. The trip just happens to coincide with the Democrat Debate, and the group could conceivably attend the debate. Except, well, there’s a problem:
>> Candis: I think that we need to stop and maybe talk to Hillary.
>> Caitlyn: Democratic National Debate.
>> Chandi: Right.
>> Candis: Can't wait. Front row!
>> Chandi: We're so excited that Cait's even gonna go.
>> Candis: I'm excited for Cait.
>> Chandi: Right. And sit and listen to the Democrats.
>> Caitlyn: It's the last place I want to be.
>> Chandi: I know. I know. One of those things you're-you're being open to and listening to...
>> Caitlyn: We need both sides.
>> Chandi: Right. We need both sides.
>> Caitlyn: And if we're unfortunate enough to get Hillary as our next president, we need her on our side.
>> Chandi: Right.
>> Caitlyn: Although she won't be.
>> Jenny: Which Republican would?
>> Caitlyn: She could care less about women. She cares about herself.
>> Jenny: Which-which Republican candidate do you think would be most supportive of transgendered people?
>> Caitlyn: Um... All of them. Yeah. They don't... The Republi... "Oh, I hate trans people" or "I hate gays." And you don't... Nothing of that. They do more, "I want every... I want a thriving economy so every trans person has a job."
>> Candis: (Sighs) Caitlyn, what am I gonna do?
