Just days after the Republican Party released its most socially conservative platform, transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner explained to an audience why she considers herself a member of the GOP.
According to Jenner, America's best hope to get back to constitutional government with 18 enumerated powers is in the Republican Party.
Jenner, who came out as transgender last year, spoke on Wednesday morning at a bunch organized by conservative, pro-LGBT American Unity Fund. The former Olympic athlete also raised eyebrows when she insisted in subsequent interviews that she is also a Republican.
There has been some friction between the Republican Party’s base and its outspoken nominee for president, Donald Trump, who has had a more liberal view on social issues. He said earlier this year that transgender people should use whatever bathroom they feel most comfortable in and in 2000 expressed support for a ban on discrimination against gays.
Hillary Clinton has sought to present herself as a champion of LGBT rights, walking in the New York City Pride Parade last month and supporting laws that would make illegal to discriminate against people based on sexual orientation.
