One Line Clint Eastwood Just Said About ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner Drew Immediate Reaction
Famously outspoken film icon Clint Eastwood is in hot water with Spike TV executives after he shared an off-color joke at Bruce Jenner’s expense. Throughout weeks of media reports chronicling Jenner’s transition into living his life as a woman, transgender activists used the opportunity to demand Americans use more inclusive language when referring to those in his position.
A few public voices have refused to acquiesce, however, earning both criticism and praise for their politically incorrect rhetoric. One such example came during the filming of the 2015 Guys’ Choice awards.
Presented by Spike TV, Eastwood was on hand to introduce guest Dwayne Johnson. Recalling the actor’s past as a professional wrestler, Eastwood found it appropriate to mention other accomplished athletes who made a transition into entertainment.
The veteran actor reportedly cited “Jim Brown and Caitlyn somebody” as two examples, the latter an apparent reference to Bruce Jenner’s new identity.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, some felt his joke was insensitive to Jenner and others in the transgender community. Criticism, however, was but a small percentage of the overall reaction to Eastwood’s remark.
“I support Clint Eastwood,” one Twitter user declared, adding that Jenner “set him self [sic] up for these jokes.”
Another lamented that people “cannot have an opinion unless its [sic] PC and approved by LGBT group.”
Nevertheless, Spike TV announced it would edit Eastwood’s comments before the show airs.
“We will remove the reference in the version that will air,” a network source confirmed to Hollywood Life.
The decision to censor Eastwood’s joke earned even more social media scorn for the cable news network.
Should Spike TV censor any speech critical of transgenderism? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

I have audio from an interview in the early 1990′s where the Satanist Army Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino had told this person
that soon everything was going to change — your belief system will be turned 180 degrees from what you know today. Now look where we are – defending morality against immorality — who would have thought a few decades ago we could have sunk so low as a society and become so depraved. It won’t be long before you will be able to cohabitate or “marry” your favorite farm animal.
