Caitlyn Jenner has taken a stance against the press following the assassination of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk.
The Republican media personality was stopped by paparazzi while pumping gas in Malibu over the weekend — just days after the fellow conservative commentator was shot dead while speaking at Utah Valley University for a Turning Point USA event on Wednesday, September 10.
Jenner stayed silent for most of the interaction with a reporter, though she made it a point to snub the media before driving off in a tiny white car.
"I don't speak to the media anymore. They're the problem. You guys," the reality television star claimed while pointing at the person taking the video.
Jenner's comment seemed to be a nod toward President Donald Trump's incessant allegations that news outlets like NBC, CBS, ABC and other mainstream networks are reporting "fake" and bias information against their views while only supporting messages that comes from Fox News and other right-wing media companies.
Caitlyn Jenner had no interest in speaking to paparazzi about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Jenner notably hasn't posted on Instagram since June or X since July 1.
People from both political parties have been distraught over Kirk's passing — as many don't believe violence is the answer even if they didn't agree with the dad-of-two's views.

Charlie Kirk was shot dead at 31 while speaking at Utah Valley University.
A suspect was identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson within less than 48 hours after Kirk was assassinated.
The alleged killer shot at Kirk from more than a football field's distance away, with the bullet hitting the controversial commentator in the neck and likely knocking him unconscious almost instantly.
Donald Trump was one of the first people to confirm Charlie Kirk had died from a gunshot wound to the neck.
While Kirk was rushed to the hospital in a black SUV and briefly reported to be in critical condition, only a short period of time passed before Trump confirmed his death in a Truth Social post.
"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife, Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" the statement read.
