“You’re joking right? Having Caitlyn jenner BE A SPOKES PERSON FOR ABC? WHEN SHE LITERALLY DOESN’T SUPPORT LGBTQ MARRIAGE,” one infuriated person tweeted.

While there was a lot of uproar about her new job at Fox News, some people on the other side of the aisle were excited by the news.

Some People Congratulated Caitlyn

“They need to have you on Fox More Often! Enjoyed you on Hannity ??,” and “EPIC!!! NICE!!! LUV IT!!! GO CAITLYN!! GO JENNER RACING!! GO FOX!!! ❤??❤??❤??❤??,” are praises Jenner received.

Prior to becoming a Fox commentator and contributor, Jenner was running for the Governor of California and getting denied service at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The Blast reported on the latter most recently.

Back in December, the former “Kepping Up with the Kardashians” star stopped by the swanky A-list hotel to grab some grub.

However, her ripped jeans were not up to par with the strictly enforced dress code.

Jenner claims she was turned down service because her jeans had a small rip in them, which is part of the aesthetic she was going for. The jeans were manufactured to look distressed.

She posted a photo of her jeans with the caption, “@bevhillshotel f*** your horrible service for not letting me. Have lunch with this tiny rip in my jeans. Shame on you. Disgusting. I have been a patron for decades. No longer. @dorchestercollection.”

It’s true, the Kardashian-Jenner family members are avid diners at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Kourtney frequents the establishment out of anyone in her family, or at least that’s how she makes it appear on Instagram.

The “I Am Cait” star was attempting to dine at The Polo Longue in the hotel.

According to their website, there is a strict dress code enforced.

“At the Polo Lounge, we encourage you to dress for the occasion, so we ask that you refrain from wearing casual hats, ripped denim, crop tops, nightwear, swimwear and men’s sleeveless shirts. After 4pm, we do not permit shorts, flip-flops (including Birkenstocks) or sportswear (including tracksuits). Children under 10 are exempt,” their website states.

When one door closes another one opens, right?
