Sarah Jessica Parker Defends Cynthia Nixon's Political Campaign

Sarah Jessica Parker has a message for critics of Cynthia Nixon's campaign for governor: give her a chance before you write her off. Parker's admiration was clear during a recent episode of Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop podcast, calling her Sex and the City co-star "brilliant," "formidable," and "willing to learn."

"You don't have to agree with her policy, you don't have to vote for her, but certainly take the time before you criticize the fact that she's boldly pursuing this," said Parker. "She knew that when she did it, it was going to be a challenge but it's been good, everyone agrees that she's been good for the conversation in this city, they call it the 'Cynthia Effect.'"

According to Parker, Nixon has "a point of view about the city where she was born and raised, just like anybody else who might run for public office." SJP is ride or die #TeamMiranda, respect.
