Media personality Caitlyn Jenner, the pro-Trump former California Republican gubernatorial candidate and Olympic gold medal winner, is praising GOP 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley‘s apparent multi-pronged attack on transgender Americans, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Biden administration’s foreign policy – while continuing to adhere to the GOP’s agenda of injecting “communists” into her messaging.
“The Chinese Communist Party is building missiles and we’re arguing over gender pronouns. China is laughing at us,” Haley, the former Trump Ambassador to the United Nations said on Wednesday.
Despite Haley’s false suggestion that somehow the Chinese military is stronger than the American military, and despite her clear attack on transgender people, Jenner praised Haley, using just a single word with a lot of exclamation points.
“Amen!!!!!!” tweeted Jenner.

Many, especially in the LGBTQ community, have grown used to Jenner’s and Haley’s attacks on the LGBTQ community, despite both of them partnering years ago to discuss “LGBT issues worldwide,” as Jenner said in 2017 when Haley was Trump’s UN Ambassador.
Earlier that same year, during her confirmation hearing, Haley said, America’s values “do not allow for discrimination of any kind to anyone.”
Since then, both have made a hard right turn, including on LGBTQ issues.
On Friday, Haley is slated to appear at the second annual national summit of Moms for Liberty, recognized as an anti-government extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Moms for Liberty, which also has ties to Florida GOP governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, has been instrumental in attacking the LGBTQ community, and targeting LGBTQ children.
Just months ago Haley declared DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” legislation doesn’t go “far enough.”
And while Jenner’s comment hasn’t received a good deal of attention, some are launching strong criticism of Haley’s remarks.
“I was just in Beijing,” wrote New York Times diplomatic correspondent Edward Wong. “I can tell you I didn’t have a single conversation with anyone about the use of pronouns in the US or about any American ‘culture war’ issues.”
Democratic strategist Dante Atkins asked, “Would Nikki Haley like to compare the budget for our missiles to the budget for China’s missiles? Because…she knows this is a lie, but Republican keep on doing the ‘our military is weak because of gender’ thing.”
Professor of law Quinn Yeargain observed, “”*you’re* arguing over pronouns; the rest of us are just living our lives.”
