Kim Kardashian is ‘disturbed’ by Caitlyn’s ‘tough on crime’ approach to prison reform amid push to become Governor of California
Caitlyn Jenner announced her bid for Governor of California on April 23 and is already taking to twitter to make her stance known on a cause very close to Kim Kardashian’s heart: prison reform.
As part of her ‘Cait for California’ push, she fired off a tweet about ‘dangerous criminals’ in the streets that reportedly ‘disturbed Kim’ per TMZ as her viewpoint undermines the SKIMS founder’s work.
‘This is horrible and also avoidable. Gavin’s District Attorneys across California are releasing dangerous criminals back on to our streets. Enough is enough. #RecallGavin,’ she wrote.

Tough on crime: The Cait for California campaign seems to take a harsh stance that stands in contrast to the work Kim’s done
It has been claimed in the past that the KKW Beauty founder finds Caitlyn’s approach — which is reminiscent of former president Donald Trumps’ — more detrimental, as it uses more of taxpayer’s money and does not get to the root of why people commit crime in the first place.
The outlet had previously reported that neither Kim nor her famous family would publicly endorse Caitlyn’s bid. Jenner’s right-leaning politics clash with Kim’s approach to prison reform makes this even more polarizing.
Kim actually agrees more with Newsom’s approach to crime which favors rehabilitation and support for prisoners re-entering society, in addition to investing in crime prevention.
And in the past she had said she was ‘very supportive of Governor Newsom’ and his work to remove the death penalty in California. He ordered a moratorium on executions in spring of 2019.

Round of applause: The SKIMS founder applauded Newsom’s executive order to halt the death penalty
‘I have met with and am very supportive of Governor Newsom and his decision to help bring an end to the California Death Penalty. Racial bias and unfairness run deep throughout the justice system but especially when it comes to the death penalty,’ she wrote in March 2019.
Jenner on the other hand has wasted no time laying into Newsom yet again —even referring to him as the ‘CEO of the state,’ —as he doubled down on crime in the street in response to congressman Ted Lieu who tried to point out that DAs are elected.
To make matters worse, the famous sisters continue to promote their various brands and products on social media, with none of them even publicly acknowledging Caitlyn’s campaign.
