Caitlyn Jenner didn't vote last year because she was busy golfing

California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner just admitted that she didn’t even vote last year because she was golfing that day. “I didn’t even vote,” Jenner told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview at her Malibu home. “I just wound up going to play golf and I said, ‘Eh, I’m not doing that. (voting)'”

Bash asked Jenner if she thinks that her support for Trump is a liability in California, which overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden last year. Jenner downplayed her support, and then Bash asked: “Did you vote for him in 2020?”

“No,” she replied.
“Who’d you vote for?” Bash asked.
“I didn’t even vote,” Jenner admitted.

Jenner said that “the only thing out here in California that I worry about” are the ballot propositions in the state, but that she “didn’t see any propositions that I really had one side or the other. And so it was Election Day and I just couldn’t get excited about it,” she said. “And I just wound up going to play golf.'”

3. She considered the parties and issues and wasn't interested enough, so

she decided to golf instead. As she's in CA, decided her POTUS vote wouldn't matter.

she still would have been golfing.

Never heard of golfing stopping anyone from casting a vote. It's not like flying across the Atlantic solo in a prop plane or scaling a fourteener.

4. Because you enjoy some of the best terrain on the planet

That affords you the luxury of enjoying the weather every day. You really never have to check the weather reports because it almost always so nice. So concerned about the policy she punted and played golf.

What exact was Newsom crime?
Eating at French Laundry?
Keeping Covid under control?
Stewardship and management of a surplus of $75B from last year?

Newsom has been very good and learned from Gov. Brown. Democratic leadership is what is happening in California. You too could or should have a Democratic Super Majority! Good Government is possible in every single state! What happens in California spreads to the rest of the US is my motto

9. There were some very serious and important ballot initiatives in that election.

I'm not going to go into them here, but wow, the next interviewer she talks to could just take her apart on this. It's one thing not to vote, but to say you weren't on either side of any of those initiatives is political suicide and a severe lack of awareness of what's going on in this state.
