Caitlyn Jenner to Trump: 'This is a disaster'
(CNN)Republican Caitlyn Jenner took to Twitter Thursday evening with a message to President Donald Trump: "Call me."
The Olympian-turned-reality star, who is perhaps the most high-profile face of the transgender community, at first was quiet after the Trump administration withdrew Obama-era guidance on transgender bathroom use in public schools.
But she broke her silence over 24 hours later in a tweet and video message.
Clad in a pink "***** bow" blouse, Jenner spoke directly to the camera.
"I have a message for President Trump from well, one Republican to another. This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community," she said, holding up her hand like a mock telephone. "Call me."
After Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee in June, Jenner told STAT she believed he would be better for women than Hillary Clinton.
"Everybody looks at the Democrats as being better with these [LGBT] issues. But Trump seems to be very much for women. He seems very much behind the LGBT community because of what happened in North Carolina with the bathroom issue. He backed the LGBT community. But in Trump's case, there's a lot more unknowns. With Hillary, you pretty much know what you're gonna get with the LGBT community," Jenner said at the time.
She was spotted attending an inauguration eve dinner at Washington's Union Station alongside House Speaker Paul Ryan.
