CNN anchor Carol Costello weighed in with her personal feelings on Tuesday about Caitlyn Jenner’s post-transition debut on the cover of Vanity Fair this week.

Costello picked up on a point made by E! Entertainment correspondent Ken Baker, who noted that some who remember Bruce Jenner as an Olympian in the 1970s will take some time to get her new identity as Caitlyn.

“I grew up in that generation,” Costello said. “I remember the Olympics — right, where Bruce Jenner was?”

“There is a bit of sadness in me that I’ll never see him again,” she continued. “And I’ve heard that from several people.”

CNN’s Brian Stelter pointed out that this was likely a “generational difference,” and that older people had more “complicated feelings” about Jenner’s transition.

  1. Newsflash: That person you remember wasn’t the real her.

    As soon as you wrap your head around that, you’ll realize that her living a lie had YOU living a lie.

    Now shut up and be happy for her, you twits. It isn’t about YOU.

  2. Maybe the Faux Noise channel pays more and this is Carol’s way of auditioning for them by saying stupid stuff. She’ll fit right in over there.

  3. I’m just sad that I’ll never see the me from the 70s again.

  4. Aww…so you’re sad you’ll never see Bruce Jenner again…your sadness comes nowhere near the soul crushing sadness/depression/dysphoria that Caitlyn Jenner experienced for all those decades living under the name “Bruce”, so your upset Ms Costello are a pittance and you can go shove it up your one way digestive tract!

  5. Yes!!! These people make me sick, And to think she earns a lot of money to read the news and be “stoopid”
