Caitlyn Jenner in Speeches at CPAC (2020s)

On Government Reform: If we lose election integrity, we lose everything

Rep. Jody Hice steered a [CPAC] panel about Covid-19 toward the topic of election security. When Hice was asked how he would ensure that Americans get the correct information about the Delta variant this fall, he pivoted back to 2020. "I firmly believe this is the fight of our life politically," Hice told the crowd to applause. "If we lose election integrity, we lose everything. So that's my focus right now."

On Principles & Values: Ignored being "deadnamed" publicly at CPAC Convention

Caitlyn Jenner was harassed and hit with transphobic abuse while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. A heckler filmed himself approaching the former reality TV star, repeatedly deadnaming her and calling her a "sick freak." Calling a transgender person by their birth name is known as deadnaming, and it can be a stressful and triggering experience.

"Hey, Bruce. Bruce, what do you think about the stuff that they're teaching in schools regarding the LGBTQ?", the heckler shouts at her. As Jenner walks away, he pursues her and says, "About Jesus Christ, Bruce. Don't forget about Jesus." Jenner continues to ignore the attacker, and as she exits the hotel and heads towards a waiting car, the heckler says "look at that sick freak."
