Caitlyn Jenner, who announced just last week that she will be running for Governor of California on the Republican ticket, sparred over Twitter with Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) after Lieu questioned Jenner's knowledge of how government works.
Dear @Caitlyn_Jenner: District Attorneys are elected by voters, not appointed by Gov @GavinNewsom.
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) April 25, 2021
Also, do you know how a bill becomes a law? Here is a cool Schoolhouse Rock video for you to educate yourself. https://t.co/E0hiH96QDw
Do you know what “veto” means? Or “budget”? https://t.co/wwfvQ5XM6I
After Jenner referred to "[Gavin Newsom's] District Attorneys" in a tweet, Lieu pointed out that DAs are elected, not appointed by the Governor. He also asked if Jenner knows the meaning of basic terms used in politics, and linked to a video from Schoolhouse Rock explaining how a bill becomes a law.
Jenner responded by criticizing Lieu for his "condescending tone."
Ted, that kind of condescending tone is whats wrong w/ politics. Of course I know DAs are elected, but as the CEO of the state, the buck stops with Newsom. If you want to defend the status quo then fine, but if you want to talk solutions to the crime in our streets, call anytime. https://t.co/uWWuEu4Syj

"Of course I know DAs are elected, but as the CEO of the state, the buck stops with Newsom," Jenner wrote. "If you want to defend the status quo then fine, but if you want to talk solutions to the crime in our streets, call anytime."
The announcement of Jenner's gubernatorial run was met with mixed reactions from Republicans. While the famed athlete has reportedly received the backing of some high-profile Trump associates, other Republicans have questioned whether Jenner is qualified to run the nation's largest state, or whether she could actually defeat the incumbent Newsom in an election. The response from Democrats has been more universally negative
The Kardashian family, which Jenner is a member of, has also reportedly indicate that they will not support Jenner's run for Governor.
