Caitlyn Jenner On Tim Walz Saying He Scares People With His Masculinity: “I Am More Masculine Than This Clown”

Ok, that’s pretty good.

Minnesota governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz seems to be trying to keep his name out there for a potential presidential run in 2028, making the media rounds after serving as the running mate on the disastrous Kamala Harris campaign in 2024.

Walz was selected at least in part to help Harris appeal to men, a voting bloc that the then-vice president was struggling to win over. He was a former assistant high school football coach, something that he frequently brought up on the campaign trail, and was apparently supposed to represent the kind of strong masculine figure that would help the Harris campaign break through with male voters.

For some reason though, it didn’t work.

Walz was criticized for his support of a bill in his home state of Minnesota that mandated tampons be placed in men’s school restrooms, earning him the nickname “Tampon Tim,” and he never really helped Democrats project that “masculine” image that they needed to overcome their problems with men.

As a result, the Trump campaign won in the male demographic by 12 points, and even won the young male vote, which has typically skewed more liberal. He won males age 45-64 by a whopping 20%, and among males 65 and older, a demographic that Democrats hoped to win by warning senior citizens that Trump was a threat to social security, he still had a 13-point advantage in the final election results.

Just a total bloodbath in the male vote.

But Walz seems to be trying to rehab his image, making the media rounds and discussing what Democrats need to do to win over the male vote.

He recently appeared on a podcast with California governor Gavin Newsom, another potential presidential candidate in 2028. And in a complete lack of self-awareness, Walz gave his thoughts on why he doesn’t appeal to men and Republicans:

“I think some of us scare ’em. I think I scare ’em a little bit, it’s why they spend so much time on it.”

Even Newsom laughed at Walz talking about how masculine he is, but Walz confirmed he wasn’t joking:

“No, I’m serious. Because I CAN fix a truck. They know I’m not bullshitting on this one. I’m not putting this in people’s grill. My identity is not hunting. My identity is not football coaching. My identity is not a beard and a truck.”

Yep, Tim’s just so masculine that it’s scary.

Well the internet is getting a good laugh at Tim’s comments…including Caitlyn Jenner.

Jenner was, of course, born Bruce Jenner before coming out as a woman and undergoing transition surgery back in 2017. But the former Olympic athlete, who is also a Republican and a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, laughed at the idea that Tim Walz of all people is so masculine that he scares people:

“I’m more masculine than this clown.”

Caitlyn Jenner from the top rope.

Of course it’s not the only ridiculous comment that Walz made to Newsom, apparently in an attempt to prove what a tough guy he is and help Democrats appeal to men. The governor also made the bold claim that he thought he could take most Republicans in a fight:

“How do you fight it? I think I could kick most of their ass, I do think that… But I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we challenge you to a WWE fight kind of thing.”

Newsom, to his credit, tried to point out that Democrats were losing ground with male voters – and Tim Walz, proving he learned nothing from 2024, immediately blamed racism and misogyny:

“These are bad guys though. These are bad guys. How do we push some of those guys back under a rock? You don’t think it’s racism and misogyny?”

Oh Tim. Please, whatever this strategy is, keep it up. President JD Vance has a nice ring to it.
