Caitlyn Jenner appeared at an event in
Cleveland on Wednesday to support Republican candidates as the city
plays host to the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Jenner was the headline speaker at a
“Big Tent Brunch” sponsored by Equality Ohio, an LGBT rights
group, Log Cabin Republicans, a gay GOP group, and the American Unity
Fund, which supports socially liberal conservative candidates. She
was introduced as the “most famous Republican in the world.”
In criticizing laws such as North
Carolina's that restrict transgender bathroom use, the Olympian
turned reality star made a joke at the expense of Republicans.
“Over the last few years, we have
three Republicans state representative who were all arrested for lewd
behavior in a men's bathroom,” Jenner said, a reference to former
Mississippi Rep. John Hinson, former Idaho Senator Larry Craig and
former Florida state Rep. Bob Allen.
“Maybe what we should do is ban
Republican representatives at a state level” from using public
restrooms, Jenner joked. If we want to “protect people.”
Jenner also told the crowd that she
does not represent the transgender community “I speak for
myself,” Jenner
said.
