Donald Trump has been indicted for the fourth time – this time for his role as the kingpin of an alleged conspiracy to steal electoral votes in Georgia in 2020 along with 18 coconspirators – and Caitlyn Jenner wanted her rightwing audience at Fox News to know that she is ashamed of America for the first time.
“I am a proud American, I love this country,” she declared on the rightwing network, explaining that she was “brought up a patriot.”

She even appeared apologetic for suggesting she’d use the women’s room. “How can you walk sans spine?”
“And I have to say, today, and watching all this come down…. This is the first time I’ve ever been ashamed of my country,” she said, not explaining why she wasn’t ashamed after Trump’s first three indictments. “I mean, we look at elections in Venezuela and other places in the world, these third-world countries, and we are turning into that person. We are turning into that country. And that’s a shame.”

Later in the segment, she appeared to joke about how 18 coconspirators were indicted in Georgia, as if it’s surprising that prosecutors believed over a dozen people helped Trump. “By the way, on this list… Is my name on that list? Not yet!”
The 98-page indictment filed in Georgia yesterday lists 13 criminal counts against Trump, bringing his total to 91 counts across the four indictments. The indictment says that Trump and his coconspirators pressured local officials to change the results of the election, made false statements about electoral fraud to the state legislature, harassed election workers, attempted to breach election equipment in Georgia, and tried to get federal officials at the Department of Justice as well as Mike Pence to help them.
He faces charges including a RICO violation, three counts of soliciting public officers to violate their oaths, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, and other counts related to falsifying documents and impersonating public officers.
“Trump and the other defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment reads.
Trump has been indicted in New York City for allegedly paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their alleged affair, in D.C. for his role allegedly inciting the January 6 Insurrection, and in Florida for allegedly endangering national security by stealing and showing off classified documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago. He has pled not guilty to all of these charges and will likely plead not guilty in Georgia as well.
It was an odd choice for Jenner to bring up Venezuela, where former President Nicolás Maduro Moros was indicted in 2020 on charges related to drug trafficking. Except it wasn’t Venezuela that brought the charges, it was the U.S. Department of Justice.
