One-on-one interview with California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner

One-on-one interview with California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner
it just shows the hypocrisy of Gavin Newsom. Um, he lied to us. He said he was going to open the state up on the 15th actually the day. It was rumored that I was going to run the next day. He had a press conference saying that on the 15th of june he was going to open the state up. Obviously that was not true because now he's changing it. We have one of the highest vaccination. Uh, people in the United States were doing very well when it comes to vaccinations. Do you give, given you some credit for that? Yeah, I give anybody, I mean, the governors have been in charge. Different governors have done it different ways across the country and we certainly have seen that other governors have done a much, much better job. I really feel like this recall is all about how he has handled the covid response. And again, he's a hypocrite. He said it was going to open up on the 15th and now all of a sudden from another OSHA, another bureaucracy that we have here in California, it's not going to open up. We're down to less than 1000 cases in the entire state. Okay. Yeah, definitely. And how is that the governor lying? I'm just trying to just understand where your position is here with the cal OSHA decision. Mm. Another bureaucracy has said, we can't open the state. Gavin Newsom is going along with us. He said it would open on the 15th and he lied to us.
