During a speech at the College Republican National Committee convention, Caitlyn Jenner elicited laughter and applause with a comment about a recent shooting incident involving GOP congress members. She quipped, “It seems even liberals lack marksmanship,” sparking amusement among the audience.
The remark was recorded and later posted on the Virginia College Republican’s Facebook page. Jenner’s controversial comment came after a question about a violent incident at a Virginia baseball field, which left House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and others seriously wounded.
Steve Scalise’s health status was subsequently elevated to serious. The attacker, James Hodgkinson, who had a history of violent rhetoric towards Republicans and supported Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, was killed by police during the altercation.
In her response to the tragedy, Jenner, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, stated, « Absolutely no one deserves to endure such events; there can be no rationalization for this kind of violence, » adding that it’s essential to reduce such extreme incidents in society.
