Caitlyn Jenner on Friday slammed late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel for calling her ''Donald Trump in a wig'' and questioned where the outrage was from the left or LGBT communities.
Jenner, a Republican running for governor of California, also accused Kimmel of making racist jokes and harassing women in an old comedy skit.
''Being woke must be optional if you are a Democrat,'' she said.
Kimmel on Thursday mocked Jenner in the opening monologue of his show.
''She's just trying to get attention,'' he said of her political aspirations. ''Caitlyn Jenner has a better chance of being the next Batman than she does governor of California. She knows little to nothing about anything, really.''
He also welcomed the end of the long-running reality TV series ''Keeping Up With the Kardashians,'' calling it the ''rear end of an era.''
Jenner, who is transgender, was married to Kris Jenner. They have two daughters together: Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
''They said 'Seinfeld' was a show about nothing, but the Kardashians really showed them,'' Kimmel said. ''I think all of season eight was Khloe buying a bikini top.''
The host then took a dig at Jenner's appearance on ABC's ''The View.''
''Are we sure that isn’t Donald Trump in a Caitlyn Jenner wig?'' he said in reference to Jenner’s saying the former president did ''some good things.''
In a stream of tweets, Jenner dug in, pointing out several inappropriate jokes and skits Kimmel has made during his career.
''Speaking of @jimmykimmel he also received a pass from the WOKE on his use of black face and racist actions. Hypocrite,'' she wrote.
''Also @jimmykimmel got a pass from the WOKE while he asked women to fondle him in public. His treatment of women is wrong. Disgusting. Vile,'' Jenner tweeted.
