Folks are reluctantly loving this old clip of Caitlyn Jenner reading Diane Sawyer mid-interview
We’re all unfortunately way too familiar with Caitlyn Jenner at this point. The decorated Olympian turned FOX News correspondent has been a pain in the queer community’s collective butt for years now, with a litany of queerphobic and regressive views being publicly espoused for conservative consumption.And yet, there was a sweet spot before the Fox News of it all.
Before the rocky public relations of I Am Cait, even. For a brief, shining moment back in 2015, the freshly cracked egg that would become Caitlyn stood up as a very public transgender figure.A clip from that moment in time has been making the rounds on Twitter recently, in which she gets a bit of a disrespectful comment from Diane Sawyer during her first major interview on her transition.In it, Sawyer insinuates that Jenner has “missed the good part” of being a woman by not coming out until age 65.
Jenner calmly and subtly lets her have it.As OP writes, she gagged her a bit:She gagged her a bit pic.twitter.com/iCcgtf0G9l— minx (@minxiepop) September 29, 2022Related: Pro golfer Hailey Davidson obliterates Caitlyn Jenner’s argument against trans athletes in .5 secondsAt first it seems like she’s dragging her own outfit as being old, commenting on “the black shoes and the black pants” that they’re both wearing.
It’s not until Jenner says “and the white shirt” that Sawyer realizes she’s the one who’s actually just gotten shaded for her old maiden type of dress.As much as folks hate to admit it, her casual off-hand drag was kind of it.The reactions are almost as gagged as Sawyer was:If she wasn’t so horrible I would stan for this shade alone— BEAUTIFUL GAME (@cicconeLife) September 29, 2022If she wasn’t so horrible I would stan for this shade alone— BEAUTIFUL GAME.
