Transphobic? CBS News Boss Denies Dem Debate Ticket to 'Caitlyn' Jenner

In the latest iteration of “Caitlyn” Jenner discrimination, the Los Angeles Times reports Jenner asked for tickets to the Democratic debate in Des Moines on Saturday night, but was denied by the president of CBS News himself.

“Caitlyn Jenner, who as Bruce Jenner was a Drake Relays champion in 1976, was in Des Moines visiting the university campus with her reality show producers,” the Times reports. “Although a Republican, she asked for a ticket to the debate.”

Perhaps due to libertine-left sensitivities, Jenner’s query went all the way up the chain of command to be considered by CBS News President David Rhodes. “Our person told her person that we don’t have any tickets left, which happens to be factual,” Rhodes told the paper.

Jenner told the Times that he watched the debate on TV with students on the Drake University campus, and said  he still planned to vote Republican. "They didn't convince me."

The Des Moines Register captured Jenner en route to a Drake women's volleyball game against Northern Iowa at the Knapp Center that started at 7 pm Central time, an hour before the debate.
