Cynthia Nixon Is Running For Governor of New York, and Twitter Has Opinions
It's official: Cynthia Nixon is running for Governor of New York. Of course, we know the actress her best for her role as Miranda in Sex and the City, but Cynthia is a born and bred New Yorker, and while this would be her first official political post, she's been campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights for years. And goodness knows, she won't be the first famous TV face to make the move to politics!
She's certainly ready for a fight. "We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us," she says in her video advert. "It can't just be business as usual anymore." Here's her announcement video in full:
I love New York, and today I'm announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us: https://t.co/9DwsxWW8xX pic.twitter.com/kYTvx6GZiD

I had to catch myself, because when I saw that #CynthiaNixon was running for governor of New York, I was like, "Well, of course she is! She's a lauded civil rights attorney who's at the top of her field!" #NotMirandaIRL

If you hypocrites voted for Trump, Ronald Reagan who were also celebrities, don't you dare question #CynthiaNixon for running for governor.

Not sure what Cynthia Nixon's platform will be when running for NY Governor, but I hope it includes a sincere apology for the Sex and the City movies.

Cynthia Nixon running for governor is the best 'Sex and the City 3' storyline yet.

#CynthiaNixon already knows what you're gonna say about her running for governor. She knows what memes you're gonna make. She knows why you think she's unqualified & unexperienced. She knows what homophobic, sexist, Hollywoodish names you'll call her. But she's running anyway.
