Caitlyn Jenner is receiving massive backlash from the LGBTQ community after she said she would like to be Ted Cruz's 'trans ambassador'. Many people took to social media to blast the reality show star over her political endorsement.
"I've unfollowed @IAmCait and @Caitlyn_Jenner As a woman who loves and respects women, I feel duped and disrespected," wrote one user on Twitter.
"She isn't doing anything to advance LGBT politically," another commenter added.
The transgender icon and former Olympian said she backed Cruz and made the 'ambassador' comment in an interview on Wednesday.
'I like Ted Cruz,' Jenner said. 'I think he’s very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man.'
Were Cruz to be elected president, Jenner would like to be appointed 'trans ambassador to the president of the United States,' she explained.
I [would] have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues,' Jenner mused. 'Isn’t that a good idea?'
Despite her warm feelings for Cruz, Jenner, 66, has however not formally endorse the Texas senator for president, but she has been getting criticism for her few words.
