Caitlyn Jenner is clarifying her support for Sen. Ted Cruz, two weeks after saying she would like to be a “trans ambassador” for the Republican contender if he became president.
“I never said that I endorsed Ted Cruz,” Jenner said in an interview with the E! network Thursday. “I said I like him. He is a constitutionalist and I think we have to get our country back to something like that.”
She added that she has “not figured out” GOP front-runner Donald Trump.
“He’ll be great for women’s issues, he says, but then he doesn’t say how,” she told E!. “So I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”

Jenner told The Advocate on March 2, “I like Ted Cruz … But I also think, he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.”
Her comments were met with a firestorm of criticism from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocates, who criticized her for backing a politician with a history of expressing anti-LGBT views.
Earlier this week, Jenner posted an Instagram photo of herself with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton — even though she has said on “I Am Cait,” her reality show that documents her life after transitioning from a man to a woman, that she would vote for Trump over Clinton.
