Caitlyn Jenner threw shade at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the “masculine” failed vice presidential nominee bragged about how his manhood scares the MAGA faithful.
“I am more ‘masculine’ than this [clown emoji] Gov Walz,” Jenner, 75, ribbed on X Wednesday in response to the governor’s bombast.
Jenner, an Olympic gold-winning decathlete who came out as a transwoman in 2015, shared a clip from the Republican National Committee’s opposition research X account showcasing the governor’s braggadocio.
Walz (D), 60, had crowed on the “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast about his masculinity and mused that conservatives are particularly intimidated by his manliness.
“I think I scare them a little bit, [which is] why they spend so much time on me,” Walz said during his appearance on the podcast, prompting host California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to laugh.
Newsom, 57, had been talking about his gripes with how some progressives are overly broad with the use of the term “toxic masculinity” while reflecting on how Democrats are shedding male voters and his concerns about a “crisis of men.”
“No, I’m serious, because they know I can fix a truck. They know I’m not bulls–tting on this,” Walz added in the clip shared by Jenner.
Although not included in that segment, Walz went on to lament the slings and arrows he took from conservatives about his masculinity.
On the campaign trail, he had spotlighted his hunting prowess and days as a football coach, while his allies hailed him as a model for younger men.
MAGA critics frequently lampooned him as “Tampon Tim” and mocked the way he handled his shotgun during an October hunting trip.
“Not that I spend too much time thinking about this,” Walz continued, “it just baffled me how much time they spent trying to attack me that I was not masculine enough in their vision.”
Some observers noted how President Trump and the GOP spotlighted male energy during events such as the Republican National Convention when attendees heard from the likes of iconic wrestler Hulk Hogan, UFC CEO Dana White and others.
Newsom warned that Democrats suffered losses among both white and minority men during the presidential election cycle.
Later on in the podcast, when Newsom was talking about his efforts to understand the other side — including by inviting MAGA stars such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon onto his show — Walz underscored his belief that he could beat them up.
“I think I could kick most of their ass,” he quipped.
