In a segment on Fox News back in January that may as well have been an audition for her new job, she stated, “We need to protect women’s sports. Another recent Fox News target has been Lia Thomas, the first openly trans athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship. A major punching bag lately has been the Walt Disney Corporation, which everyone from Tucker Carlson to Laura Ingraham has been hammering as not only too woke, but pushing an explicit sexual agenda on children, because it opposed ( after much hand-wringing) Florida’s new “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.

Despite her being frequently referred to as an “activist” for trans rights, Jenner has made a habit of backing various pieces of anti-trans legislatio, most recently expressing support for bills that ban trans kids from participating in school sports. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.” It was sort of inevitable that Jenner would find her way to political punditry.

Former reality star and Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner will offer commentary and analysis across Fox News and its various media platforms.

Jenner has remained a prominent voice on Twitter, advocated for the transgender community through her Caitlyn Jenner Foundation and called for federal legislation protecting women’s sports. When launching her campaign bid as a Republican in April 2021, the outspoken star said she planned to take on entrenched Sacramento politicians and the special interests that fund them. The “I Am Cait” alum ultimately lost the recall bid, drawing only about 1% of voters last fall.

Jenner, 72, became an American icon at the 1976 Summer Olympics by winning the men’s decathlon, but largely connected with later generations through a starring role on the reality TV series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, starting in 2007. Jenner announced in 2015 she was starting her gender transition and divorcing her wife, Kris. In the years since, Jenner has become an outspoken advocate for transgender rights, and slammed former President Donald Trump shortly after he took office, with Jenner calling Trump’s restrictions affecting transgender individuals “a disaster.” Despite the break with Trump, Jenner has remained a Republican. She notably said at an event in 2016 that she found it “harder to come out as a Republican” than as transgender. Reality TV star and former Republican California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner is joining Fox News as a contributor, according to network CEO Suzanne Scott, who said the signing of “a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community” will be a valuable addition to the conservative news outlet.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement: "Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all. The former Republican candidate - who ran as a replacement candidate for Gavin Newsom in the state of California but lost out with only 1% of the vote - is thought to be a "tremendous asset” for the news channel because of her "inspirational journey" and impact on the LGBTQ+ community. The 72-year-old reality star - who was born as Bruce Jenner and became known for winning Olympic gold in Decathlon during the 1976 games in Montreal before transitioning into a woman whilst starring on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' - is "humbled" to become part of the news network and to be able to "speak directly" to Americans.

Though the Fox News press release cites Jenner as using "her platform as the most famous transgender woman in the world to better the lives of the trans community," many in the LGBTQ+ community have criticized her conservative stances on queer issues — particularly gay marriage, as she made headlines for sparring with Ellen DeGeneres over the issue during a 2015 interview on the latter's talk show. Fox made the announcement on International Transgender Day of Visibility, as Jenner famously came out as a trans woman in April 2015. "I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to Fox News Media's millions of viewers about a range of issues that are important to the American people," Jenner said in a statement.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott praised the former Olympic athlete as "a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community."

In its Thursday press release, Fox News described Jenner "as the most famous transgender woman in the world." "This is a question of fairness," Jenner said outside her vehicle in Malibu. "That's why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls sports in school. Jenner has previously appeared as a guest commentator on the network, and also was interviewed by Fox News host Sean Hannity during her unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign in California last year. The couple had two daughters—models Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Kris and Caitlyn Jenner separated in 2013 and finalized their divorce in early 2016. And we have to protect girl sports in our schools." She married Kris Jenner in 1991.

Caitlyn Jenner, the transgender athlete, reality star and California gubernatorial candidate, has signed on to Fox News Media as a contributor.

Netflix was left off this year’s Corporate Equality Index, as it is call, over the way that it handled Dave Chappelle’s special The Closer, which triggered a backlash because of his jokes and comments about the transgender community. According to Lis Power, director of media intelligence at progressive watchdog Media Matters for America, Fox news has mentioned Disney more than 250 times since Wednesday morning. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement: “Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all.

Fox News Channel says it has hired Caitlyn Jenner as a contributor, with her first appearance set for Thursday on Sean Hannity's program.

"I’m a common sense person and that’s what you call common sense," she said, noting she helped raised 10 kids and has 20 grandchildren. Hannity went on to talk about the new Florida law, signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier in the week, that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. She noted that being a patriot is one of those things.

Jenner made her first appearance as a Fox News contributor on Thursday night.

And that is what you call common sense,” Ms Jenner said, adding: “I am all for parental rights”. “So,” Mr Hannity posed to Ms Jenner, before warning that she had “40 seconds”. “Good idea, bad idea?” “Let’s educate our kids with the basics first,” Mr Hannity said, after laying into the “ridiculous” heat the bill is attracting as, he argued, it doesn’t even mention “gay”.
