Caitlyn Jenner is facing criticism after joking that 'liberals can't even shoot straight' in reference to last week's gunfire at a Republican baseball practice.

The former Olympian made the comment while chatting during a question and answer session on Friday at the College Republican National Committee's convention in Washington, D.C.

The event was closed to the press, but a roughly 20 minute portion of her appearance was captured on video and shared to the College Republican Federation of Virginia's Facebook page.

The 67-year-old was asked by the moderator during the dinner about the shooting that critically wounded House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and injured several others when Trump-hating liberal activist James Hodgkinson opened fire.

Scalise's condition has since been upgraded to serious, and the suspect was fatally shot by police.

Jenner was quick to condemn the attack when responding to the moderator's question.

'Nobody deserves what happened out there,' Jenner, who a longtime Republican, told the crowd. 'There's no justification.

'There's crazy people, we have to minimize that kind of stuff. But as far as people that were injured, it's an absolute shame.

'Fortunately, the guy was a really bad shot. Liberals can't even shoot straight.'

Her comments about liberals caused outrage on social media as several blasted Jenner for making the remark, including actress Debra Messing, who sent the above tweet saying it is 'disgusting'
