She ran for governor of California. As a Republican. She doesn't go to GOP conferences because she might get eaten by the leopards. The political and religious posturing is all a grift, which in a way makes her a perfect Republican, but they can't really claim her, for the same reason.

Because she's only useful to them as a prop? They don't want to see or hear her... ew ...but its useful to have a trans person spout your anti-trans talking points. Reminds me of that Trump rally where he pointed out the like 1 POC there like "look at MY African American"

because she tried to run for governor of california as a republican and found out that republicans only like her to use her to attack marginalized people
