Graham Welcomes Caitlyn Jenner as a Republican

June 8, 2015 · 10:18 am ET · 30 Comments

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told CNN that he welcomes Caitlyn Jenner into the Republican party.

Said Graham: “I haven’t walked in her shoes. I don’t have all the answers to the mysteries of life. I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he’s — I hope she has found peace.”

He added: “I’m a pro-life, traditional marriage kind of guy, but I’m running to be president of the United States. If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party.”
