加州最近州长罢免选举的候选人凯特琳·詹娜周二在《观点报》上表示,她将再次竞选公职,她主张在伤害该党的“老派”共和党人中增加包容性。
本月试图召回加州州长加文·纽瑟姆的努力以超过24%的失败告终,还有一些选票有待统计。詹纳没有进入前10名替补候选人。
詹纳说:“尽管最终没有按照我们希望的方式进行,但这是我一生中最有意义的经历之一。
“我会再跑吗?是的。我想继续参与进来,”她补充道。“但还有其他我想做的事情,那就是——一个是——努力让共和党更具包容性。”
跨性别女性詹纳曾在前总统唐纳德·特朗普执政期间为他辩护,但后来她表示,在他“无情地攻击”跨性别群体后,她无法再支持他。她周二表示,她认为媒体没有给共和党一个“公平的机会”
詹纳说:“特朗普肯定有他的信息传递问题。"在那一点上,我同意你的意见。"
“他有一个叛乱问题,也有几个弹劾问题,”联合主持人桑尼·霍斯丁补充说。
“我们需要更好的候选人,”詹纳回应道,并补充道,“老派”共和党人正在伤害该党。
“老实说,”詹纳继续说,“我觉得(他们)正在以如此多的方式摧毁共和党,他们必须继续前进。一定会有下一代进来,我认为他们就在外面。我希望他们在那里,但我们必须改变,我们必须做得更好。”
联合主持人乔·贝哈问詹纳她对1月6日国会大厦暴动的看法。
“那也困扰你了吗?”她问詹纳。
詹纳说,1月6日“显然是不对的。我们国家不能这样。”
“我们需要把人们聚集在一起,这是我们需要做的。在这个国家,我们倾向于把每个人都放在一个盒子里,”她说。“共和党需要改变,说实话,我是变革的典型代表。”
Caitlyn Jenner says she'd run for office again, but GOP needs to be more inclusive
Caitlyn Jenner, a candidate in California's recent gubernatorial recall election, said Tuesday on "The View" that she would run for office again, advocating for greater inclusivity among "old school" Republicans who are hurting the party.
This month's attempted recall of California Gov. Gavin Newsom failed by more than 24%, with some votes left to count. Jenner did not finish among the top 10 replacement candidates.
"Even though it didn't work out the way we wanted it to in the end, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life," Jenner said.
"Would I run again? Yes. I want to stay involved," she added. "But there's other things that I would like to do, and that is -- one is -- try to get the Republican Party to be more inclusive."
Jenner, a transgender woman, had defended former President Donald Trump while he was in office, but later she said she could no longer support him after he "relentlessly attacked" the trans community. She said on Tuesday that she thinks the media doesn't give Republicans a "fair break."
"Trump certainly had his messaging issues," Jenner said. "I will agree with you on that."
"He had an insurrection issue and a couple of impeachment issues as well," co-host Sunny Hostin added.
"We need better candidates," Jenner responded, adding that "old school" Republicans are hurting the party.
"Honestly," Jenner continued, "I feel like [they] are destroying the Republican Party in so many ways, they have to move on. There's got to be a next generation to come in, and I think they're out there. And I'm hopeful that they're out there, but we have to change, we have to do a better job."
Co-host Joy Behar asked Jenner her thoughts on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection in Washington.
"Did that bother you too?" she asked Jenner.
Jenner said that Jan. 6 "obviously wasn't right. And we can't have that in our country."
"We need to bring people together is what we need to do. We have a tendency in this country to put everybody in a box," she said. "And the Republican party needs to change, and to be honest with you, I am the poster child for change."
